2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

ON JULY 26 THE FUEL TANK BROKE AND THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT ALSO ON MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IT WAS TWO DAYS BEFORE I HAD IT FOR 30 DAYS I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DO NOTHING WE PAID ABOUT $2800.00 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED YOU COULD SMELL THE GAS INSIDE THE CAR I WAS VERY WORRIED BEING THAT IT WAS HARMFUL TO MY KIDS AND I LET THE DEALER KNOW THAT AND THEN A WEEK LATER WE GOT A RECALL LETTER FROM CHEVY ABOUT THE PROBLEM THE DEALER NEVER GAVE US THE CAR FAX REPORT LIKE IT STATES IN THERE DEALER FRONT DOOR I WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS . *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHICH STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS ALMOST AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY WAS OVER. MOST OF THE GAUGES (SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, BATTERY INDICATOR, ETC...) IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE NOT FUNCTIONING OR FUNCTION ONLY SPORADICALLY AND ERRATICALLY. ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT GM EVEN SUED (AND WON) THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MANUFACTURER. HOWEVER NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON TRAILBLAZERS, MEANWHILE OTHER GM VEHICLES (I.E. CHEVY SILVERADO) THAT USES THE SAME INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THEREBY HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO EXHIBIT THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO EVERY VEHICLE THEY BUILT WHICH USED THIS FAULTY AND FAILURE PRONE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SINCERELY, OUTRAGED TRAILBLAZER OWNER. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT ON MY 04 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHICH I PURCHASED NEW AT AROUND 40K. CHEVY WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP AND IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, OR GAS GAUGE. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 7, 2009, WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN APPROACHING TRAFFIC I TOOK THE VEHICLE OFF OF CRUISE AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER, THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT MOVE. AFTER THAT, EVERYTIME I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT MOVE. EVERYTIME I START THE CAR IT DROPS 5 MPH, BUT WHEN YOU USE CRUISE OR DO A CONSTANT SPEED, IT STICKS AGAIN. WE ARE GETTING READY TO GO ON A BIG FAMILY VACATION AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE TAKING MY FAMILY IN A VEHICLE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. MY MECHANIC IS REPLACING THE CLUSTER WITH A USED ONE FROM THE LOCAL SALVAGE YARD. A USED ONE WITH LABOR IS STILL GOING TO COST ME $200 AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THAT ONE WILL LAST. I CANNOT BELIEVE WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EQUIPMENT FAILURE THAT GM HASN'T DONE ANYTHING. IT'S JUST NOT SAFE! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, BUT THE FAILURE CANNOT BE LOCATED OR REPAIRED. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000. UPDATED 06/08/09 *BF UPDATED 06/18/09.*JB

HEADLIGHTS DIM AND FLICKER AT RANDOM TIMES, MOSTLY AT START UP. DEALER HAS REPLACED ALTERNATOR TWICE AND PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND HAS SINCE RECURRED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 80,000.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. SPEEDOMETER & ALL OTHER GAUGES SUDDENLY FAILED. NO SPEED OR VEHICLE INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO DRIVER. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TACHOMETER. IT IS STICKING AT AROUND 4000 RPM AND WON'T RESET TO 0. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FROM WHAT I CAN FIND. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD SPREAD INTO OTHER GAUGES WHICH WOULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE HAD IT RESET SEVERAL TIMES AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS IT IS BACK TO THE NEEDLE POINTING AT 100 WHILE IN PARK. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED IT WHEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS THE SLOWEST PERSON ON THE INTERSTATE. IT IS MAY 2009 AND IT IS NOW A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN EVER. I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT 800.00 TO REPAIR THIS AND THEN IT MAY WORK FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT, ALL MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT IT WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
