2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, SUDDENLY THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING. THE READING WOULD FLUCTUATE INTERMITTENTLY AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE COULD BE CORRECTED BY TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING; AND DISABLING THE BATTERY CABLE. THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE BOTH HEADLIGHTS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. MY DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH TRAILBLAZERS THAT ARE BROUGHT IN. *TR

TRAILBLAZER REFUSED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY ON THE TRAVEL TRAILER. THE DASH LIGHTS OCCASIONALLY FLICKERED, THEN CAME BACK ON STRONG. GM DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. A LOCAL MECHANIC SIMPLY TOOK THE COVER OFF THE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION BOX AT THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE ENGINE, THEN PUSHED ALL THE WIRES DEEPER INTO THEIR CONTACT SOCKETS. THAT RESOLVED THE PROBLEMS, AT LEAST UNTIL NOW. NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN, AND IT SAYS IT IS FOR THE PRESSURE SYSTEM. *TR

SPEEDOMETER GAUGE ONLY WORKS CORRECTLY INTERMITTENTLY. NUMEROUS GAUGE PROBLEMS AND NUMEROUS HEADLIGHT FAILURES. *TR

THERE ARE SEVERAL DEFECTS ON CHEVY TRAIL BLAZERS MINE IN PARTICULAR IS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL BECAUSE IT STOPPED RECORDING THE SPEED, AMOUNT OF GAS IN MY VEHICLE, ESSENTIAL TO DRIVING SAFETY, PROPER SPEED MAINTENANCE AND ENSURING IT WONT STALL OUT DUE TO LACK OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. IN ADDITION THE NIGHT LIGHTS TURN OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THAT IS DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY CHILDREN WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WHICH I DO OFTEN TO COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK. THERE ARE DIFFERENT DATES FOR THE DEFECTS THE CLUSTER PANEL GAGE WAS PROXIMATELY 6 OR 8 MONTHS OLD, THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED THEY STATED IT WAS NOT HAZARDOUS TO MY DRIVING AND THAT SINCE IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO BEING A 2004 THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS 10% OFF, I FELT IT WAS A HAZARD AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT THEY FIXED AN ISSUE WITH THE TURN SIGNALS BUT NOW MY HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AT NIGHT AND IT IS SCARY TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOUR LIGHTS GO OFF AND YOU CANT SEE A THING. THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR THE LAST 3 TO 4 MONTHS HAVE NOT REPORTED IT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RESPONSE BY THE MANUFACTURER WITH PRIOR ISSUE. *TR

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD . NOTHING CAUSED THIS EVENT , IT JUST FAILED OUT OF NOWHERE, NOW IT HAS TO BE REPLACED , THIS IS AN UNCOMMON EVENT FOR THIS PARTICULAR PART TO JUST CRACK OR FAIL , AND AFTER READING RESEARCHING THIS EVENT I FOUND IT TO BE MORE COMMONPLACE IN THIS FROM THIS PARTICULAR CAR MANUFACTURER. THE FUMES FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS THE SAFETY ISSUE , NOT TO MENTION THE UNBEARABLE NOISE. *TR

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENTATION PANEL CLUSTER OUT SPEEDOMETER GAS OIL PRESSURE BATTERY AND RPM. 2 SPEEDING TICKETS. SPEEDO WAS OFF BY 40 AT THE TIME,NOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.

MY WIFE OWNS A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS GOING HAYWIRE. WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED WITH NO SUCCESS. I AM A PRETTY GOOD MECHANIC, BUT NOT WHEN IT COMES TO ALL THE ELECTRONICS ON CARS THESE DAYS. I REFUSE TO TAKE IT BACK AND GET SCREWED OUT OF MORE MONEY. I GUESS THIS IS HOW CHEVROLET IS MAKING UP FOR THEIR LOSS. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS AS OF YET. THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY MAN, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I MAY END UP CHANGING MY LOYALTY TO ANOTHER COMPANY. WITH AS MUCH AS WE HAVE TO PAY FOR VEHICLES THESE DAYS WE SHOULD BE RECEIVING BETTER SERVICE ON THEM. I WILL BE BUYING A USED CLUSTER OFF THE INTERNET AND INSTALLING IT MYSELF. THE DEALERSHIP EVEN WANTS A FORTUNE TO REPLACE A PART THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON ANYWAY. *TR

HAVING TROUBLES WITH MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAUGE CLUSTER. WHICH WORKED SPORADICALLY THEN FINALLY HAS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON UNSAFE PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. BUT CHEVY DOES BACK ITS OTHER MODELS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR UNSAFE VEHICLE MISHAP. AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL PLACED ON IT!!! *TR
