2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

2004 TRAILBLAZER ,SES LIGHT ON ..CODE..SECONDARY AIR PUMP FAILURE. I REPAIRED $600.00 + NEEDED TO DO SO TO PASS EMISSIONS AND GET NEW PLATES. 2 YRS LATER ,SAME CODE,SAME ACTION REQUIRED TO RE-NEW PLATES. *TR

MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER KICKED INTO FULL SPEED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING IN AN ICY ROAD AT 20 MPH. IT AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHED TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE, SPUN AT A 90 DEG. WENT INTO A DEEP DITCH, SPUN BACK STRAIGHT AND HEADED UP THE DITCH, AGAIN FULL SPEED, INTO A CULVERT AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. BOTH AIR BAG SENSORS WERE KNOCKED OFF THE VEHICLE AND NEITHER ONE OPENED. I WAS NOT INJURED. SHOOK UP A LITTLE. TRAVELING ALONE AND COMING HOME FROM CHURCH ON A SUNDAY MORNING AT NOON. *TR

HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERING AND DIMMING WHILE DRIVING. CARS THINK YOUR ARE TRYING TO GET THEM TO STOP ALLOWING THEM TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF YOU. THE VOLTS DROP SEVERELY ON THE BATTERY GAUGE. THIS IS NO WAY SAFE AND THE GM SAYS ITS NORMAL. NO WAY!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE COMPONENT FAILED THREE MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

THE SPEEDOMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, AND TACHOMETER HAVE STOPPED WORKING ON MY 04 TRAILBLAZER. ONLY HAVE 64,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE TALKED TO MECHANICS ABOUT REPLACING. TOLD IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $400 AND $800 TO REPLACE BUT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LONG TERM--MANY TIMES REPLACED CLUSTERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. LOOK AT THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TACHOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. FROM POSTINGS I HAVE READ, IT APPEARS THAT EVENTUALLY ALL INSTRUMENTS WILL STOP WORKING.

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH ABOUT 79000 MILES ON IT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED BEING INCORRECT ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD AMONG TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. THE GAUGES STICK. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED IT WAS JUST THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE RPM GAUGE, BUT NOW ITS THE MENTIONED GAUGES PLUS THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE HAD A TRAFFIC STOP AND WAS GIVEN A WARNING FOR DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL IN PLACE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AS A PROBLEM BY A LOT OF OWNERS AND THE COST IS AROUND $500. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY NOT AN OWNER INITIATED PROBLEM BUT A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ON JANUARY 25, 2010, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER ON JANUARY 28. THEY SAID THERE WAS A CRACK WHERE THE FILLER TUBE ATTACHES TO THE FUEL TANK, AND THE ENTIRE TANK/FILLER TUBE ASSY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF OVER $1300. THREE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE, THEY HAVE SEEN IT MANY TIMES. THEY SAID I COULD LOOK FOR A USED TANK TO SAVE MONEY ON THE REPAIR, BUT THEY DID NOT RECOMMEND IT BECAUSE "ALL THOSE TANKS FAIL." I DID SOME CHECKING ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS INDEED A COMMON FAILURE. I CALLED THE GM CONSUMER HELP LINE AND ASKED FOR SOME HELP ON THE REPAIR COST, SINCE THIS IS APPARENTLY A DESIGN FLAW AND A COMMON FAILURE. THE ASSIGNED ME SERVICE REQUEST, BUT A FEW DAYS LATER CALLED BACK AND SAID THAT GM WOULD NOT HELP OUT ON THE REPAIR COST. MY CAR IS A 2004 TRAILBLAZER WITH 67,500 MILES, AND THUS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I BELIEVE GM SHOULD STILL BE AT LEAST PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR A COMMON FAILURE. *TW *TR

I WAS DRVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION. IT WENT FROM 60 MPH TO THE NEEDLE GOING ALL THE WAY PAST 120 AND POINTING DOWN AT THE ODOMETER. MY SPEED DID NOT CHANGE DURING ALL THIS. *TR

THE GAUGES ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WILL NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY. ONE DAY THEY ALL WORK, THE NEXT DAY ONLY A FEW WORK CORRECTLY. ONE DAY SHE IS ABLE TO TELL THE CORRECT SPEED SHE IS DRIVING, AND THE NEXT DAY SHE IS STUCK ON 120 MPH. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. IT IS THE SAME WITH THE OIL PRESSURE, TACHOMETER AND GAS GAUGE. *TR
