2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS WITH 49K MILES AND THE FUEL GAUGE READS WAY PAST THE FULL MARK ALMOST ALL THE TIME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 65MPH) WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET, WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY RESPONDED LIKE I HAD SLAMMED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR. MY SPEED CLIMBED RAPIDLY, BUT I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO DROP THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL (THE TACHOMETER CONTINUED TO BE AT ITS MAXIMUM LEVEL AND THE ENGINE STILL WHINED HIGH) AND STEER TO SAFETY, ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC, TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. WHEN I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN, THIS ISSUE WAS NO LONGER PRESENT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DOESEN'TWORK DUE TO THE STEPPER MOTORS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GM KNOWS OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THEIR OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEARS AND HAVE REPAIRED THEM. THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS OUT WORKING BUT FAILS AFTER A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. I'VE READ E-MAILS FROM PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WHO HAVE GOTTEN SPEEDING TICKETS FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 TRAILBLAZER THAT HAS 98,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED MESSING UP AT FIRST IT WOULD JUST MESS UP EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE NOW THE RPM GAUGE HAS STARTED ACTING UP AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS NEVER RIGHT. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK LOOKED AT AND THEY SAY IT IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT WILL BE $600.00 TO FIX. I HAVE SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON TRAILBLAZERS AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS HAPPENING IN SO MANY VEHICLE..... *TR

EACH TIME I START MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT THE "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER 15 SECONDS IT TURNS OFF. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY RPM WILL EITHER GO EXTREMELY HIGH, TRAVELING 30 AND THE RPM SAYS I'M DOING 90, OR WILL GO EXTREMELY LOW, GOING 30-SAYS I'M GOING 0. ALSO, MY GAS GAUGE STARTED ME OUT WITH JUST UNDER A HALF A TANK OF GAS, AND WHEN I GOT TO WORK 15 MILES AWAY, I AM UNDER A QUARTER A TANK OF GAS. FINALLY, MY 4WD AND ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE FLASHES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. I DO NOT NEED TO SWITCH IT MYSELF, IT JUST SOMETIMES SWITCHES TO 4HI, AND FLASHES BETWEEN. THIS MORNING I NOTICED THE LIGHT WASN'T ON, PERIOD. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ENTIRELY MESSED UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY EXTENDED TRAILBLAZER WITH 84,000 MILES. MY SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 90 MPH. I UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE AND THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. IT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $500 TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS FAIR. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT RATE OF SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING. I UNDERSTAND FROM DISCUSSION BOARDS IN THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON CHEVY TRAILBLAZER PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT YET HAD IT FIXED AS I CANNOT AFFORD IT AT THIS TIME. MY CAR WAS JUST IN A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR A COST OF OVER $300 FOR A THERMOSTAT. TW*
