2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ALL STOPPED WORKING ON 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND STAYING ON; THEN MY OIL GAUGE STARTED GOING WACKY, FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER; NEXT, MY GAS GAUGE WASN'T READING CORRECTLY AND I HAD TO KEEP PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR JUST TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T RUN OUT BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T TRUST THE GAUGE. THE GAUGES OFTEN CORRECT THEMSELVES OUT OF THE BLUE AND THEN THEY START MESSING UP AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. TODAY, MY SPEEDOMETER READ 0 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH. IT STAYED AT 0 UNTIL I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN I TOOK OFF, IT WENT UP TO ABOUT 45 WHEN I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 25-30. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM REALLY GOING, WHICH IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I AM ALSO VERY FRAZZLED BY ALL THE GAUGES READING DIFFERENT EVERY DAY WHEN I AM DRIVING 40 MILES BACK AND FORTH TO WORK WONDERING IF AND WHEN MY CAR IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, UNEXPECTEDLY THE SPEED ODOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT NORTHFACE EDITION WITH THE V8 ENGINE IS LEAKING GAS DUE TO A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK AND THE REPAIR IS OVER 1000$, MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 7500 MILES ON IT AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE MESSING UP. *TR

LOW BEAMS WENT OFF AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN RURAL ROADWAY. THIS WAS AT 10:45 AT NIGHT ON MY WAY TO WORK. HAD TOO SIT BY SIDE OF ROAD FOR SOME TIME WITH NO LIGHTS. FINALLY CAME BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES SINCE THEN. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS AROUND TO ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. I HAVE HAD 2 NEAR CRASHES DUE TO THE DARKNESS OF THE AREA IN WHICH I WAS TRAVELING. THERE ARE NO CODES BEING THROWN WHEN THIS OCCURS, NO WARNINGS, THE LIGHTS JUST GO OUT. UNABLE TO LOCATE FAILURE POINT. HIGH BEAMS, TURN SIGNALS, PARKING LIGHTS WORK, JUST NOT LOW BEAMS. *TR

MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON -BRAKES, AIRBAG,BATTERY, SERVICE ENGINE SOON. ALL THE GAUGES ON THE RIGHT-OIL, GAS, BATTERY ARE BELOW THE RED LINE AS IF THE CAR IS OFF. THE CAR LOCKED ITSELF WITH THE KEYS IN IT WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF-HAD TO CALL EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE TO UNLOCK. THE MECHANIC STATES ALL THE LIGHTS THAT ARE ON ARE ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING AND THAT THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER MODULE IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND IT APPEARS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME TYPE PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS-WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL RE: THIS ISSUE? *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - FOR OVER ONE YEAR NOW, AND 4 VARIOUS MECHANICS, NO ONCE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE REPLACED TWO AIR SENSORS (ACTUALLY 3 - ONE WAS BAD)... I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $1,000 TO GET THIS FIXED - BUT THE DAM LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON (INTERMITTENTLY) SOMETIMES IT'S ON FOR A MONTH - OFF A DAY - ON TWO WEEKS - THERE IS NO PATTERN. THE LAST TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON, MY CAR BEGAN STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND STOP SIGNS. LAST MECHANIC SPENT 5 HOURS TRACING ALL THE CODES BACK - NOTHING. NEXT DAY HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC CHECK CODES AND THE ENGINE RUNNING COOL AS WELL AS A FEW OTHERS SHOWED UP. IF NO ONE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT - WHERE IS THE RECOURSE. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING SCAMMED OVER AND OVER. I STALLED ON RT. 24 SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC - AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BOX TRUCK BECAUSE I JUST SAT THERE. WHO CAN HELP DIRECT ME TO A REPAIR WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY END THIS ISSUE? NOW, THE LIGHTS OFF THIS WEEK (WATCH, NOW THAT I SAY THIS IT WILL COME BACK ON). THE ONLY THING I NOTICE IS THAT MANY TIMES THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER I FILLED THE TANK. SO, IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG (REFERRING TO MECHANICS WHO TAKE US FOR A RIDE $$$)? I CHALLENGE ANYONE OUT THERE TO FIGURE THIS OUT. *TR

I OWN A 2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT WITH THE I6 AND I'VE BEEN GETTING STRONG SMELLS OF EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE DO TO A FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLD THAT IS CRACKED. IT SEEMS THAT IT HAPPENS TO 90 PERCENT OF THE TRAILBLAZERS WITH THE I6 MOTOR. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER WHICH TELLS ME THAT GM SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SEEING THAT IT'S HARD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THE WINDOWS UP AND THE HEAT ON. NOT ONLY IS IT A SAFETY HAZARD BUT IT'S ALSO AN EMISSION ISSUE. *TR

MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DISPLAYED A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE SERVICE LIGHT A FEW DAYS AGO. GOT IT TO THE DEALER. THEY STATED THE THERMOSTAT AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH NEEDED REPLACED. ($550.00). THE DAY THIS WAS REPLACED, I DROVE IT HOME AND TESTED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH. AS SOON AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, THE TACH SHOT TO 5000. IT DISPLAYED 5000 FOR THE REST OF THE DAY (EVEN WHILE IDLING). THE NEXT DAY, THE TACH STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. DEALER WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ERROR OR REASONING TO WHY IT QUIT WORKING. JUST A COINCIDENCE????? *TR
