THE 2004 TRAILBLAZER IS NOT COVERED AS THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH OCCURRENCES OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE REPORTED. *TR

MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT GAUGES STARTED GOING HAYWIRE. EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE READ SAYS THE WHOLE PANEL NEEDS REPLACED. THE OIL, BATTERY, TEMP AND GAS CLUSTERS STOPPED WORKING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD START WORKING AGAIN. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH STOPPED AND STARTED AND NOW NOTHING IS COMING ON. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL THAT I HAVE AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ALL LIT UP. WAITING FOR THE WHOLE THING TO BLOW. I CURRENTLY HAVE IT AT A GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WILL COST ME 500 BUCKS TO REPLACE THE PANEL. I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING LIKE THAT. I HAVE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE TO WORK AND I WANT GM TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME! *TR

MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED IN MY FAMILY'S GARAGE, AS I AM EXPERIENCING A STRONG GAS SMELL. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK, BUT I DO NOT DARE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN FIND WHAT THE GAS SMELL IS ORIGINATING FROM. *TR

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I THOUGHT I HAD A GREAT SUV. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNING IT DID I MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 KIDS. I CHECKED OUT THE CRASH RATINGS AND THEY WERE GREAT!! I LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT MY TB. LOOKING BACK, AFTER THE 4TH PROBLEM WITHIN THAT FIRST MONTH. I SHOULD HAVE RAN AWAY SCREAMING FROM IT, AS I DO NOW DAILY. THE LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN YOU DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO OUT. THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE TACH GOES CRAZY. THE "BELL" FOR THE LIGHTS (WHEN YOU HAVE THE KEYS OUT AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON, OR WHEN YOU HAVE THE KEYS IN AND THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN) WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE BATTERY GAUGE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. THE GAS GAUGE HASN'T HAD A PROBLEM LATELY. I AM WONDERING...DOESN'T ALL OF THAT CONSTITUTE AS A SAFETY PROBLEM?? I HAVE HAD THE LIGHTS LOOKED AT AND AM TOLD THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE..REALLY?? I AM GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE GAUGES LOOKED AT NOW AND FROM WHAT I SEE IT WILL COST ABOUT $600-$800. WHERE OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE HAD, THE O2 SENSOR, TEMP GAUGE, OTHER LIGHTING ISSUES THAT I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF BUT THIS IS GETTING TO BE A BIT MUCH. I SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT CAN'T BE FROM NORMAL WEAR ON THE VEHICLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE'S FAMILY REALLY GETS HURT, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS DOING 100 MILES A HOUR TACK DOES NOT WORK GAS HAND GOES WAY PASS FULL AND WHEN I STOP AND PUT $25 OF GAS IN YOU KNOW IT IS NOT FULL SO NOT FOR SURE IF OIL PRESSURE & TEMP GAUGE IS RIGHT BUT IT IS NOT OVER HEATING GUESS I WILL KNOW WHEN STEAM COMES OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD GM RECALL SOME OF THE CLUSTER WHY NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN 2005, HAD 56,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. AT 76,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT COMPLETELY HAD TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER $500.00 COST. IN 2007, THE DASHBOARD AND ALL THE GAUGES STARTED GOING CRAZY, HAD IT CHECKED AT A CHEVY DEALER THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AND WAS GONNA COST WAY TO MUCH TO FIX. LATER IN 2009 THE ALARM SYSTEM DECIDED IT WOULDN'T WORK ANYMORE, OR IT WOULD SET ITSELF. (GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES OR MORE, WOULDN'T START EITHER TO RESET THE PROCESS), THE REMOTE KEY WOULDN'T WORK AS WELL. HAD IT INSPECTED AGAIN, FULL DIAGNOSTIC DONE BY THE CHEVY DEALER & ALSO BY FIRESTONE, EVERY ISSUE THAT THE CAR HAS IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILING CONSTANTLY. HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND ON WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT, HIT THEM THEY COME BACK ON SOMETIMES, TAIL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT, NO NEED TO REPLACE BULBS THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. FULL DIAGNOSTIC COST MONEY, I HAVE CALLED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO TO MAKE CHEVY PAY FOR THIS DISFUNCTIONING VEHICLE BUT, OF COURSE IT IS A BUNCH OF RED TAPE AND POLITICAL BULL CRAP. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE TOO MUCH MONEY WILL BE LOST AND STILL NO RESULTS. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THE GAUGES STILL GO OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL GO OUT AND THE ALARM STILL SETS ITSELF WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. I PRAY OVER THIS VEHICLE EVERYTIME I GET IN IT. *TR
