2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DUE TO LEAK IN EVAC SYSTEM ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTIC TEST. SMOKE TEST SHOWED LEAK TO BE AT WELD WHERE FILL SPOUT TUBE IS ATTACHED TO FUEL TANK. GASOLINE FUMES WERE PRESENT WERE PRESENT FROM THE VEHICLE. WAS INFONMED THAT TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALA COST OF $1200.00. DID SOME INTEMET RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT GM HAD A TSB ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN #05012), BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2002 EXT MODELS. SINCE THIS IS, IN REALITY, A FIRE SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL GM SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF AGE OR MILAGE. UPDATED 01/20/11 *BF

THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND THE KEY FOB. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. *TR

2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 2WD, LTZ - INSTRUMENT PANEL IS FAILING. BEGAN WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, WHICH DOES NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT THE CORRECT SPEED 100% OF THE TIME. NOW, THE OIL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE FUEL GAUGE IS OFF AS WELL. I CHECKED WITH CHEVROLET DIRECTLY (800 222 1020) AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, FOR THE SAME YEARS, THE SILVERADO, AVALANCHE WERE RECALLED! IF IT'S AN ISSUE ACROSS CHEVY TRUCKS, THEN THE TRAILBLAZER SHOULD BE RECALLED AS WELL. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT ONLY 9 MONTHS AGO AND IT'S ONCE AGAIN NOT WORKING. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ALSO BEGAN TO NOT WORK AT TIME AS IS NOW, NOT WORKING AT ALL. MY MECHANIC CHECKED OUT THE BULBS AND DID SOME TESTING AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM IS IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. AS OF TODAY, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT IS NOW OUT....SO THE TRUCK HAS NO HEADLIGHTS AND ONLY 1 BRAKE LIGHT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DOES NOT CALIBRATE TO ZERO WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSING ERRONEOUS SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE CAUSING SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHILE THE NUMBER OF DEATHS REPORTED FOR THIS ISSUE IS STILL 0. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? *TR
