2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THE DASHBOARD GAUGES BEGAN DISPLAYING INCORRECT INFORMATION FOLLOWED A DAY LATER BY COMPLETE FAILURE. I KNOW OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ERROR. THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE THE SPEED OF THE CAR. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSE AND COMMON ERROR FOR THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

WE WERE TRAVELING FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND NOTICED THAT THE RPM GAUGE STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT WAS POINTING BELOW ZERO. THEN, LAST WEEK THE PROBLEM SPREAD TO THE GAS GAUGE AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. TACH WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME THEN DROPS TO ZERO. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 30MPH =/- WHILE STOPPED. WHILE MOVING IT SHOWS 30MPH+/- OVER ACTUAL SPEED ACCORDING TO MY COMPUTER SCANNER. CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT RECORD OF THIS TYPE OF COMPLAINT AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, THE RPM GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND IT HAS SLOWLY PROGRESSED TO THE OIL GAUGE AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER READS WAY OFF THE CHARTS. I SEE THROUGH SOME INTERNET SEARCHING THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AS OF YET, AS I FEEL WITH THIS BEING SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AND SUCH A REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY. TRAILBLAZER THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, BOTH THE TACH AND SPEEDO OPERATE ERRATICALLY. THE SPEEDO IS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN, THE ERRATIC READING INDICATES THE WRONG VEHICLE SPEED, MANT TIMES IS READS 20 - 40MPH TO LOW WHICH CAN LEAD DRIVING HAZARD. THIS IS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS A VERY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES, WITH THE INCIDENT RATE A MAGNITUDE HIGHER THAN NORMAL / ACCEPTABLE FAILURE RATES. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES THAT I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE TRAILBLAZER, THE SPEEDOMETER GOES CRAZY AND SAYS THAT WE ARE TRAVELING AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THAN WE ARE. LIKE IF IM GOING APPROX 70MPH, IT STATES WE ARE GOING ABOUT 110MPH! THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL? *TR

I OWN A 2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT AND A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THE RPM GAUGE STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AND MANY TIMES DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER A SPEED WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THIS HAS BEEN A DAILY OCCURRENCE EVERY TIME MY WIFE AND FAMILY GET IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY AND FOR ANYONE ELSE WE MAY PASS ON THE ROAD. I KNOW FROM READING MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ACROSS THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND THAT GM HAS ALREADY RECALLED THE CONSOLE CLUSTER ON SEVERAL OTHER MODELS HAVING THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALSO RECALLING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE MAKE? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER. HE WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS RESIDENCE, CHECKED THE FUSE PANEL, AND NOTICED THAT THE FUSE WAS STILL GOOD. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V527000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS). THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT OBLIGATED TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THEIR ESTABLISHMENT FOR INSPECTION. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,624 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,589.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING AND THE TAILGATE ON MY '04 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER POPPED OPEN. I WAS IN MORNING TRAFFIC AND IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT NOW I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE? *TR

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 40 MPH, BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER IT WAS READING 90. FOR ABOUT A MONTH THE SPEEDOMETER NEVER REACHED ZERO AND PERFORMED NORMALLY. ONE DAY IT FINALLY DID REACH ZERO AND ACTED PROPERLY FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN BEGAN ACTING UP AGAIN. SINCE THEN, IT HAS GOTTEN STUCK POINTED DOWN AND DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. ALSO, MY RPM BEGAN ACTING UP AS WELL. NOW IT STARTS BELOW ZERO AND ONLY MOVES OCCASIONALLY. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I CAN HANDLE NOT KNOWING THE EXACT SPEED OF MY VEHICLE, BUT NOT KNOWING THE RPM ALSO MAKES IT DIFFICULT BECAUSE I HAVE NO REAL WAY TO DETERMINE MY SPEED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A TRAILBLAZER LIKE MINE AND HE HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM. SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK. ONLINE I'VE ALSO FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. GM MUST CORRECT THIS ELECTRICAL GLITCH! *TR
