2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS 4.2 I6-SES LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THE SCANNER READ CODE P0455. HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE FOUND A CRACK ON THE GAS TANK AT THE NECK WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE FILLER NECK.THIS REPAIR RUNS INTO THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED PAYING OFF THE CAR YET. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND QUITE A FEW TRAILBLAZER OWNERSWITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

SPEEDOMETER SHOW 40 DOING 60 OR SO CAN NOT REALLY TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING TACHOMETER NOT WORKING RIGHT READING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM GM RECALL TRUCKS AND SOME OTHER MODELS WHY NOT THE TRAILBLAZERS

WE CURRENTLY OWN THREE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS - 2004, 2005, 2006. ON EACH ON THE THREE TRAILBLAZERS, THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS HAVE FAILED, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAGE, FUEL GAGE, AND ENGINE RPM INSTRUMENT. THE DRIVER NO LONGER HAS THE ABILITY TO VERIFY HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING, OR POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE, OR THE REMAINING FUEL IN THE GAS TANK. IN TAKING THE VEHICLES TO THE DEALER, THEY INSIST THAT IT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT REPAIR REQUIRING DIAGNOSIS AND REMOVAL OF THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CLUSTER AND ESTIMATE THE COSTS TO BE WELL OVER $1500 FOR THE REPAIR. SINCE THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON ALL THREE OF OUR CURRENTLY OWNED TRAILBLAZERS, THIS SUGGESTS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CLUSTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE CONTACT TO BE UNWARE OF HOW FAST SHE WAS DRIVING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED BY A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ALL GAUGES HAVE FAILED. ONE BY ONE, SPEEDOMETER, GAS, OIL, TEMP, TACK. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD ADDRESS. *TR

ABOUT 10 MILES OUTSIDE OF DALLAS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT NO INITIAL PROBLEMS. LATER THAT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 30MPH. I RETURNED HOME THAT NIGHT AND LEFT IT PARKED. THE NEXT DAY TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THE GUY DID AN ENGINE CHECK STATING THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AND THAT IT WAS LOW ON FLUIDS. I ADDED 3 QUARTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH SEEMED TO HELP A LITTLE BIT, BUT I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH MAKING AN 8 HR TRIP BACK HOME. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NOT WORKING. FIRST THE TACHOMETER STOPPED, THEN SPEEDOMETER AND NOW OTHER GAUGES QUIT. I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IF ALL CARS FROM THIS SERIES END UP HAVING TO HAVE THEIR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH SOME FACTORY DEFECT AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THE PRODUCT THEY SOLD IN THE MARKET HAS KNOWN DEFECTS. I HAVE READ HOW THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN AND REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH NHTSA FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD FORCE THE HAND OF GM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I USUALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SET FOR AWHILE. ONCE I RESTART IT WORKS. WELL NOW THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL. I REPLACED THE HEADLAMPS SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS BECAUSE THE DIMS DON'T WORK.
