2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 146,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WAS ONLY AROUND 50,000 MILES ON IT THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING UP AND SHOWING I AM GOING 85 WHEN I AM GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR, OR SHOWING 30 WHEN I AM COMPLETELY STOPPED. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ON OTHER POSTS ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I AM WONDERING WHY YOU HAVE NOT RECOMMENDED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, I PERSONALLY LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF CHEVROLET HAD TO STAND BEHIND THIS, JUST AS WE STOOD BEHIND THEM WITH A BAILOUT! *TR

2003 TRAILBLAZER EXT LT SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING, ODOMETER WORKING FINE. BOUGHT IT USED DIDN'T WORK WHEN I BOUGHT IT. LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT ALL I SEEN WAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME SITUATION BUT NO RECALL. *TR

MY TACHOMETER WENT OUT ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ON 9-6-10. I HAVE AROUND 100,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OF MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT, FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLING LINES DUE TO CORROSION. LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO LOSS. REPLACE ALL TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES (4 SECTIONS). *TR

CHRONIC PROBLEM/FAILURE OF INSTRUMENT GAGES/CLUSTER RELATING TO SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE AND OIL PRESSURE FOR A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL UNEXPECTEDLY RAISE TO AN ALARMING SPEED READING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT ACTUALLY TRAVELING MORE THAN A FEW MILES PER HOUR. DEALER ADVISES THAT THIS CONDITION IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL NOTICE AND GM IS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE TO ALLEVIATE THIS SERIOUS AND UNSAFE CONDITION. OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT CONDITION. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED A CRACKED EXHAUT MANIFOLD DUE TO POOR DESIGN/ENGINEERING. *TR

DRIVING ALONG AND SPEEDOMETER SHOWED ALMOST 100MPH. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE THE SPEED READ ABOUT 30MPH. CALL THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY STATED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM, AND WELL KNOWN WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE CLUSTER PANEL AND GM WAS REPAIRING ALMOST ALL THE VEHICLES BUT THE TRAILBLAZER. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THE TRAILBLAZER TO COLLEGE AND THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHICH IS A DANGER NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. THE DEALER SAID GM IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO SO MANY TRAILBLAZERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT WOULD COST UP TO $1500 TO REPAIR. I'VE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO GM THIS PAST YEAR AND JUST GET A RUNAROUND. *TR

WE HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT ON. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A CLUSTER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT ALMOST 600.00 I TOLD GM IN CASE# [XXX] THAT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT BUT THEY MADE US GO SPEND 96.00 ON A GM DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE IT AND THEN 3 HOURS LATER TELL US SO SORRY, WE KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT THERE IS NO BULLETIN O RECALL ON THIS SO WE CANT DO ANYTHING. A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD NO GO OUT ON A CAR, NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES AND IF IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INSTANCE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS UP AND YOU ARE SOMETIMES UNABLE TO USE IT. THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. AT FIRST YOU COULD KEEP MOVING IT BACK AND FORTH AND IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY COME LOOSE BUT AS TIME GOES BY, IT IS GETTING HARDER TO GET THE SEAT BELT TO COME LOOSE. *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKING UP ON OCCASIONS DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, BUT NOW IT IS LOCKED UP ALL TOGETHER. THE SEAT BELT IS INOPERABLE, MY FAMILY ALWAYS WEARS A SEATBELT, PLUS IT IS THE LAW! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH COUNTLESS OTHER 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP WORKING AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY.
