THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FREQUENTLY GETS STUCK OR STOPS WORKING, WHILE DRIVING. *TR

PURCHASED MY TRAILBLAZER BRAND NEW IN 2004 AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN MAY OF 2007 THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING THE BATTERY AND OIL GAUGES ARE NOT READING AND THE RPM GAUGES WORKS AT RANDOM. I TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IR WOULD BE $400 TO REPAIR AND IT NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY WORK. I'M ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT WORKING AT RANDOM. THEY WILL WORK BUT CUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT. I FEEL BOTH ISSUES NEED TO HAVE A MASS RECALL ON ALL 2002-2007 TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS THAT SEEMS TO HAVE A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR IN THE CABIN AND ALSO DRIPS GAS UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK. I HEARD THAT THERE WAS RECALL DUE TO FUEL ODORS IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND DROPS OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND FROM THE FUEL TANK INLET VALVE. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK UP BECAUSE OF LOSS OF FUEL AND ODOR INSIDE VEHICLE. ALSO, I HAVE THE CONSTANT FEAR OF MY VEHICLE EXPLODING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. PLEASE HELP OR GIVE ADVISE AT WHAT I SHOULD DO!! *TR

STEEL TRANSMISSION LINE RUSTED A HOLE AND LEAKED OUT TRANSMISSION FLUID ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND EXHAUST PIPE. REPLACED LINE, OLD LINE KEPT. *TR

SINCE 2007 MY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER OF MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2004 FROM DEALERSHIP) GOES ON AND OFF SOME DAYS IT WORKS AND SOME DAYS IT DOES NOT. I COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND GAUGES GO OUT. I AM UNSURE AT TIMES HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY CAR AND JUST HAVE TO ESTIMATE AND FILL THE TANK. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP HELP ME OUT BECAUSE I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY WERE BOUGHT OUT BY ANOTHER DEALER. I WROTE TO CHEVROLET AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME OUT. I AM UNABLE TO PAY THE $700 TO $800 THEY HAVE QUOTED ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM SO IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHEVROLET. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ALL OF THE LIGHTS GO OUT SOMETIMES AT NIGHT SO I HAVE REFRAINED FROM DRIVING AT NIGHT VERY MUCH. *TR

SPEEDOMETER GIVES FALSE READINGS. STARTED IN THE WINTER OF 2008, BUT IS NOW HAPPENING ON A WEEKLY BASIS DURING THE SUMMER. *TR

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUES. THE TACHOMETER IS INCONSISTENT AND WILL READ 1000 RPM WHEN YOU KNOW THE ENGINE IS AT LEAST 3000. ALSO, SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER GAUGES. SOMETIMES THEY WORK FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN DON'T. ALSO, CONSTANTLY NEEDS JUMPED. JUST GOT A NEW BATTERY TWO WEEKS AGO, AND ALREADY WON'T TURN OVER. GOOD CONNECTIONS AND CLEAN TERMINALS, BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DRAINED THE BATTERY. THIS HAS BEEN NON-STOP! NONE OF THIS COVERED BY DEALERSHIP! *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. TACH ALSO HAS A TENDENCY TO STICK. TRANSMISSION STARTED GOING OUT 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE (USED IN JULY 2008 WITH 42,000 MILES). TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT IN NOVEMBER 2008. *TR
