2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

IN AUGUST 2008 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. IT WOULD NOT WORK FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL. BY OCTOBER IT QUIT WORKING AT ALL. MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED SOME POWER SURGES THAT SEEM TO AFFECT THE LIGHTING SYSTEM. I ALSO HAD TO PROBLEM COMMENTED ON BY SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS GOING OUT. I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND THEY WERE IN WORKING ORDER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE BULBS WERE BLOWN AND REPLACED THEM. I QUESTIONED THAT STATEMENT SOMEWHAT BECAUSE I HAD REPLACE ONE OF THE BULBS NOT A MONTH EARLIER. THE LIGHTS HAVE WORKED FINE SINCE EXCEPT FOR POWER SURGES. *TR

WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH OUR SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON WITHIN THE PAST 2 WEEKS IN OUR 2004 TRAILBLAZER. AFTER GETTING IT DIAGNOSED IT IS BEING CAUSED BY THE FAN SPEED BEING TOO HIGH. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HAS GM NOT WARRANTED THIS!? WE HAVE GOTTEN CRAPPY SERVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WHILE OUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW IT IS PAID FOR OUR WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF IT ALREADY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. SPORADICALLY, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY FAILED. THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WAS REDUCED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RELAY WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO WAIT BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING, I CHECKED MY SPEED ONLY TO REALIZE THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. A FEW DAYS LATER IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. NOW THE NONE OF THE GAUGES (SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER , ECT.) ARE WORKING. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK I HAVE A STRONG ORDER OF GAS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A LEAK IN MY GAS TANK AND THAT I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. I SEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER TRAIL BLAZER OWNERS. I WOULD LIKE FOR GM TO COMPENSATE OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THAT I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IF I KNEW THAT IT HAD A COMPLAINT OF THIS MAGNITUDE. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR. EVEN AT THE PRICE OF GAS - I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO WASTE PURCHASING IT FOR IT TO JUST LEAK OUT MY VEHICLE. I AM ALSO REQUIRED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE THROUGH EMISSIONS BUT CAN NOT UNTIL THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT GOES OFF. IT WON'T GO OFF UNTIL THE GAS TANK IS FIXED. MY LICENSE IIS IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE OR STATE (ILLINOIS) REQUIRES THAT THIS IS DONE WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD. I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED 1 TICKET FOR THIS BECAUSE MY PLATES CAN NOT BE RENEWED AS WELL UNTIL THE EMISSIONS HAS PASSED. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT QUIT WORKING AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND ALL FUSES TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER AS WELL AS ALL RELAYS AND THE DIMMER SWITCH, AFTER CHECKING THE BULBS IN THE LOW BEAM ASSEMBLY THE BULBS WERE NOT CHARRED OR BURNT AND THE FILAMENT WAS STILL IN CONTACT AS NORMAL, AFTER READING SOME EXCERPTS ON ANOTHER WEBSITE THIS IS AN ALL TO FAMILIAR INCIDENT. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT DRIVING AT NIGHT AND NO ONE WAS INJURED THANKFULLY. ITS TIME FOR A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED AND OR KILLED FROM THIS TYPE OF MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION. *TR

I HAVE 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. I AM RECEIVING A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" ERROR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED I HAD A CRACK IN MY FUEL TANK, P0442. I HAVE DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED OTHER PEOPLE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ONLY THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES AND THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE THAT I NEED THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. I AM VERY AFRAID FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY ALONG WITH OTHER FAMILY. THIS ISSUE MUST BE ADDRESSED TO PREVENT ANY FATALITIES AND I THINK GM SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I NEVER KNOW WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. IT READS 120 MPH WHEN I AM AT A RED LIGHT! I'M CONSTANTLY IN FEAR OF BEING PULLED OVER BY POLICE WHETHER I'M IN THE CITY OR OUT IN THE COUNTRY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I'M FOLLOWING THE SPEED LIMIT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE WHOLE DASHBOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PRICE OF THE PART IS @ $280 PLUS LABOR. SOME OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS HAVE BURNT OUT AND LABELING OF KNOBS HAVE FADED. THE HUB CAPS ON THE 17" WHEELS AREN'T SECURE ENOUGH. THEY COME OFF EASY WHEN DRIVING THROUGH WATER. I LOST THEM DURING A STORM AND HAD TO REPLACE THEM WHEN I SAW THEY WERE MISSING. OF THESE, WHAT WORRIES ME THE MOST IS THE SPEEDOMETER AS IT IS IMPORTANT FOR SAFE DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE LOW BEAMS WERE NOT WORKING, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO ACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAMS. SINCE THAT TIME, THE LOW BEAMS HAVE WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN THEIR POSSESSION SO IT COULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,700.

I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF MY SUV. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE NEVER TAKEN IT OFF ROAD. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ASAP. THEY DID A THOROUGH CHECK AND FOUND OUT MY GAS TANK HAS A LEAK. THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS NOTHING I COULD DO EXCEPT PURCHASE A BRAND NEW FUEL TANK. HE HAD ALSO SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS. *TR
