2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

HAD P0128 CODE FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. REPLACED THERMOSTAT AFTER P1680 CODE, REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON. REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT WENT AWAY ON NEXT CRANK UP TO MOVE VEHICLE AND CHANGE THERMOSTAT. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS BOTH ON INTERMITTENTLY. TACHOMETER HAS BEEN STICKING AND SPEEDOMETER SHOWED ERRATIC SIGNS AROUND 55 MPH. NOW ALL GAUGES GOING WACKO OR NOT WORKING AT ALL AT TIMES. TEMPERATURE GAUGE WRAPPED COMPLETELY AROUND WITHOUT EVEN STARTING COLD ENGINE. ABOUT A MILE LATER, INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT COMPLETELY UP THEN WENT AWAY, GAUGES RESET, AND RAN FINE WITH PROPERLY OPERATING INSTRUMENT PANEL... AT LEAST UNTIL I GOT HOME. THEN WACKO STUFF AGAIN. RESET PCM BY DISCONNECTING BATTERY CABLE, NOW THINGS SEEM FINE... FOR NOW. I'M TOLD TO REDO BAD GROUND ON ECBM BEFORE SUSPECTING BAD ABS MODULE AND TO REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE SUSPECTING BAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PCM. HOWEVER, DEALER ANALYSIS SAID ABS MODULE GOT MOISTURE IN IT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. FIRST IS A $1000 ABS MODULE, SECOND IS A $400 PANEL, BOTH HAVE LABOR CHARGES ADDITIONAL. *TR

I HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 2004 TRAIL BLAZER I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 AND ALL THE SUDDEN IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRIED TO START AGAIN AND IT TOOK OFF FINE LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEN A DAY OR 2 LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE. THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD I WAS SHOCKED WITH ONLY 58,000 ON THE VEHICLE THEY SHOWED ME THE DIPSTICK WAS RUSTED RIGHT OFF AND ASKED ME WHAT HAPPENED I THEN ASKED THEM WHAT HAPPENED. SO LONG STORY SHORT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE $3000 TO REPLACE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 36,000 I REFUSE TO PAY WHEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR A PROBLEM THEY ADMIT THEY HAVE. AND TO THINK THE GOVERNMENT OR SHOULD I SAY WE THE PEOPLE JUST BAILED THIS COMPANY OUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IF THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE JUNK LET GO BANKRUPT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES BLINKED ON AND OFF, FAILED COMPLETELY, AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL.

SPEEDOMETER IS INACCURATE. WHEN STANDING STILL, IT COULD READ 100MPH. WHEN 55MPH, IT MAY READ 20MPH. I'VE HEARD MANY TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE CORRECT SPEED LIMIT. TOO IN AREAS WHERE IT'S DANGEROUS OR TOO SLOW ALSO CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO PASS. HELP! *TR

ALL THE GAUGES EXCEPT THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY 2004 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER WENT OUT. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER DO NOT WORK ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. OCCASIONALLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON AS WELL. *TR

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON OUR CHEVY 2004 TRAILBLAZER LS CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE IS A SMALL CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK. I DROVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN TO A MECHANIC WE HIGHLY TRUST EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WERE ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THERE WAS A SPECIAL WARRANTY IN PLACE FOR EMISSIONS PROBLEMS. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CONFIRMED THERE IS A FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FRACTURE AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #07099A. AT THE END OF THE DAY I WAS TOLD MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE COULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE OF THE BREAK IN THE VIN NUMBER. I THEN CONTACTED GM PERSONALLY AND TALKED TO A SPECIALIST WHO SAID SHE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT. SHE GOT BACK TO ME AND BASICALLY SAID THERE IS NOTHING GM CAN DO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERS THE EXT MODEL, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT AND A SAFETY HAZARD! I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WOULD BE USED FOR FUTURE EVIDENCE THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING IN OUR PARTICULAR MODEL "TRAILBLAZER LS". SO WE ARE LEFT WITH A CRACKED FUEL TANK THAT GM REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF. *TR
