2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360 Complaints

GM ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM 14423 TO REPAIR LEAKING GAS TANK AND THERE ARE NO PAIRS AVAILABLE. LETTER WAS ISSUED IN NOV 2015, RECEIVED DEC 2015, WENT TO LOVE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP JAN 2016 PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL JULY 2016. THIS IS UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE ON THE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM AND WAS NOT ABLE TO VIEW WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE BATTERY, THE SEAT BELT AND THE BRAKES WARNING LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED AS THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

NONE OF THE GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORK AT ALL. I HAD ALL OF THE STEPPER MOTORS, AND THE NEEDLES REPLACED. PARTS AND LABOR TOTALING $350.00, AND AS SOON AS I WAS DOWN THE STREET 4 OUT OF THE 6 DID NOT WORK,AND THESE REPAIRS WHERE JUST DONE IN 2015. NOW THE TWO THAT WERE WORKING JUST QUIT 3 DAYS AGO. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE,I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING, I DO NOT KNOW IF MY VEHICLE IS RUNNING HOT, OR IF THE BATTERY IS CHARGING. I HAVE NOTHING. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND THE GAUGES WERE BROKE WHEN I BOUGHT IT CAUSE I THOUGHT THAT I COULD GET THEM FIXED. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS TOPIC ON TRAILBLAZERS IN GENERAL ON THE TRAILVOY FORUM, AND YOU WOULD BE SICK TO SEE HOW MANY OWNERS OF TRAILBLAZERS, OR TO READ THE STORIES. ALSO IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO LET PEOPLE DRIVE A VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, AND VERY, VERY, VERY UNSAFE. TO NOT KNOW ANYONE OF THESE THINGS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE WAITING ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS FOR YOUR RECALL. J.S.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON OR OFF POSITION, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID SPRAYED AND CONTINUED UNTIL THE FLUID WAS EMPTY WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

AS WE WERE DRIVING THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING WE QUICKLY SWITCHED TO THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WHICH WORKED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AT THIS TIME THE INCIDENT WAS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THE LOW BEAMS STILL DO NOT WORK AT ALL. THE TRAILBLAZER IS DESIGNED FOR THE LIGHTS TO WORK AT ALL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NEVER TURNED ON SINCE THE INCIDENT. WE HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE HIGH BEAMS AND ALL SIGNALS SEEM TO BE FUNCTIONAL. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM SEEN BY SEVERAL PEOPLE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM SOMEONE IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE ABS SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED MORE THAN ONCE BY THE DEALER BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AFTER THE TWO REPAIRS AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IN 2010 MY TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT IDLE OR ACCELERATE PROPERLY, THE MECHANIC FOUND THE PRIMARY SMOG AIR PUMP NOT WORKING. COST TO ME $720.00. NEXT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES STARTED JUMPING AROUND AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. ESTIMATED COST TO ME $480.00, I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT.. THIRDLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND NEITHER COULD FIND THE WIPER PROBLEM. COST TO ME $68.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC TIME AND LOTS OF DANGER AHEAD. SIMILAR GM VEHICLES/ SUV'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASONS, AND THESE VEHICLES ALL SHARE SIMILAR PARTS. MY DAUGHTERS ENVOY WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, REPLACED AT NO COST TO HER. SAME INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS MY TRAILBLAZER. I CANDIDLY SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF A CHEVY DEALER SHIP WHO SAID; "THESE PROBLEMS ARE COSTING THE OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED".WITH ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IT IS CLEAR THE TRAILBLAZER IS LOADED WITH RECALLABLE PROBLEMS. WHY HAS THE TRAILBLAZER NOT BEEN RECALLED??? *TR

FUEL LEAKS AND SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK AND CAN BE SMELLED IN THE TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS. *TR
