GAS TANK LEAKING. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN (SAFETY ISSUE) I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING THAT GM NEEDS TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.. OBVIOUSLY IT IS A PROBLEM. I GUESS WE NEED TO TAKE FURTHER ACTIONS OURSELVES. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS STOPPED WORKING. MY SPEEDOMETER, GAS, OIL, TEMP, AND AMPS DO NOT WORK. CHEVY CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. I FEEL CHEVY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR 2003 TRAILBLAZER EXT USED THIS SUMMER. IT HAD ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON IT. WE'VE NOTICED THAT WHEN WE'RE ON THE ROAD FOR OVER 2 HOURS AT A TIME, THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES DANGEROUSLY UNRELIABLE. MOST RECENTLY, MY HUSBAND WAS PULLED OVER FOR AN UNSAFE LOW SPEED -- UNTIL THE STATE POLICEMAN SAW THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REGISTERING 20 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE CAR IN PARK AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES. RESETTING IS SOMETIMES POSSIBLE BY CONTINUALLY RESTARTING THE CAR, BUT NOT ALWAYS, AND NOT WITH ANY RELIABILITY. BY CONTINUALLY RESTARTING I'M TALKING 30-50 RESTARTS. THE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE STARTER THEREFORE IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL, BUT WE'VE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND WHEN WE'VE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIPS, WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. THE PROBLEM HAS NO OTHER DISCERNIBLE PATTERN AND HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES IN THE 8 MONTHS WE'VE HAD THE CAR. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2003 TRAILBLAZER. I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON BUT THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS CONSTANTLY, I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND MY CHILDREN AND I WILL BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER QUIT WORKING. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATES THE CAR IS GOING 120+ MPH. WHEN PARKED IT INDICATES THE CAR IS GOING 50+MPH. THIS RESULTED IN DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. I PHONED THE LOCAL BATTLE CREEK CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP MONDAY (2/4) AND WAS TOLD THAT ONLY CERTAIN GM VEHICLES WERE BEING REPAIRED COURTESY OF GM AND THAT AT THIS TIME MY VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY. ON THE INTERNET I AM SEEING THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

THE CARS COMPUTER CODE ON DASH READ OUT THAT SERVICE BRAKES WAS REQUIRED WITH A RINGING TONE. THE ABS LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WERE ALSO ON. THIS LED ONE TO BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH SAFETY. WE DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE GARAGE. A CODE C0265 WAS FOUND ON THE COMPUTER BY THE TECHNICIAN. $91.00 WAS CHARGED FOR A POOR GROUND BEING REDONE ON THE EBCM. NHTSA ITEM NUMBER 10022470 IS APPLICABLE. WE WERE LUCKY TO BE WITHIN A BLOCK OF A DEALER. THIS IS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, WITH ONLY 37616 MILES. FROM FEBRUARY 2003 UNTIL NOVEMBER 2006 THE CAR WAS GARAGED IN MONTANA. NOVEMBER 2006 TILL PRESENT THE CAR IS GARAGED IN WI. WHY SHOULD THE OWNER HAVE TO PAY FOR AN APPARENT GROUND ISSUE DEFECT PROBLEM? THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM IS DISABLED ON THE CAR. *TR
