2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. FOR THE PAST YEAR THE SPEEDOMETER HAS RUN AMOK. I CAN BE TRAVELING AT 30, 50, ETC. MPH AND THE NEEDLE RANGES FROM 20 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT AND AT TIMES SURPASSED THE 120 MPH MARK ON THE DIAL. CAN YOU HELP? THANKS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT 7 MONTHS AGO EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS UNTIL MY TACHOMETER GOT STUCK IN A DOWNWARD POSITION LAST WEEKEND I RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE METER DISPLAYED 1/2 TANK FULL. I'VE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO SEND THE PANEL TO GM PLUS 300 DOLLARS TO GET REPAIRED AND I CANT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE PANEL IS RETURNED BECAUSE THE MILEAGE HAS TO STAY THE SAME. IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHY CANT GM COME UP WITH A SOLUTION INSTEAD OF JUST TAKING PEOPLE MONEY WITH ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

HIS DAUGHTER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP. SHE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AFTER BEING TOLD IT WAS COVERED, HOWEVER WHEN SHE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, THE MANAGER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE CORPORATE DIVISION TOLD THEM IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD OVER 120,000 MILES. *JB THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE DATE AND TIME THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT OF $900.00 FOR THE REPAIRS.

2004 TRAILBLAZER - ALL GAUGES DON'T WORK OR MAX. OUT; SPEED GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING. STARTED AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. *TR

THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES YET, THAT I KNOW OF. THERE HAVE, HOWEVER, BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND CHEVY DOES NOT CARE. THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES ON MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY, THE SPEEDOMETER CAN READ 0-120 WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. THEREFORE WE NEVER KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING AND WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. BESIDES THE GAUGES THE WIRES FOR THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING. I WAS TOLD WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ONE FIXED THAT IT IS VERY COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES. THE FACT THAT BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE SO COMMON WITH MANY CHEVY VEHICLES AND THEY ARE RECALLING SOME AND NOT ALL, I GUESS I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY NOT ALL? *CN

THE SPEEDOMETER AND BATTERY GUAGE WILL NOT WORK. THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS OVER 100 MPH WHEN YOU ARE NOT MOVING. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY GET CALLS EVERYDAY ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT GM DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THE TRAILBLAZER ONLY ON THE PICKUP TRUCKS.

I ALSO JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER FOR MY INSTRUMENT PANEL IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING, THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME FAILURE AS I HAVE HAD AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME TIME. *TR

AS I HAVE SEEN FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME GM PRODUCT, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. IS ALWAYS REGISTERING AT A VERY HIGH SPEED, SOMETIMES EVEN PEGGING DOWN WHERE YOUR GEARS ARE LOCATED. COSTS TO REPAIR IS $600-$700 AND 5-7 DAYS OF DOWN TIME AS THE PART MUST BE SENT AWAY AND REPAIRED. LIKE OTHER CONSUMERS I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS COSTLY REPAIR. I WOULD THINK AFTER THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS GM WOULD REPAIR. PERSONALLY, I'M CONSIDERING FOREIGN NEXT TIME. AT LEAST THEY OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKES AND REPAIR AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR
