2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

SPEEDOMETER HAS BECOME FAULTY. IT MAY NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY 03 EXT FIRST TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH JUST OVER 65K AND THEN 16MO. LATER AT 80K WENT OUT AGAIN. NO HELP FROM GM. I HAVE OWNED A 99 BLAZER AND 02 TRAILBLAZER WITH NO REAL ISSUES HOWEVER THIS 03 HAS HAD NUMEROUS FROM CRACKED GAS TANK TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER GOING OUT AS WELL AS NOW HAVING LOUD ENGINE NOISE! *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING, ALL THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS WORK. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED ON THIS VERY ISSUE. GM SHOULD REPLACE THIS PART. IT APPEARS THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT GAUGE CLUSTERS MALFUNCTION. ONE BY ONE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES HAVE BEEN FAILING. FIRST THE RPM GAUGE STUCK AT ZERO IN MARCH '08. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO (OCT '08), THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO AND NOW FLUCTUATES ERRATICALLY . OFTEN TIMES, RESTARTING THE CAR WILL TEMPORARILY RESET THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE UNTIL IT FAILS AGAIN. THIS MONTH (DEC. '08), THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE PEGGED HIGH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL TEMPORARILY HESITATE. THE ONLY GAUGE THAT APPEARS TO WORK PROPERLY IS THE FUEL GAUGE, AND I'M GUESSING THAT WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL TOO. DURING MY LAST OIL CHANGE AT A CHEVY DEALER, THEY INDICATED THAT MOST LIKELY THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/GAUGE DRIVERS ARE BAD AND CAN BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800. I'VE DONE A LOT OF SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH CHEVY VEHICLES, YET CHEVROLET HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT OR REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK AT 40MPH. IT NEVER CAME BACK DOWN, BUT EVENTUALLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE. AFTER $900 FOR A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IT WAS FIXED, BUT THE FOLLOWING YEAR A FRIEND OF MINE WITH AN 05 TRAILBLAZER HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HER. SHE WON'T GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT SEEMS JUST A TAD BIT SUSPICIOUS THAT SO MANY SPEEDOMETERS HAVE GONE OUT IN THESE THINGS. *TR

I NOTICED WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLDER/SNOW IN DECEMBER, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING AROUND 60 MPG HIGH SPEED WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. AFTER TURNING MY TRUCK ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES, IT WOULD RESET TO 0 MPH. ANOTHER HEAVY SNOW DAY CAME AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND AFTER I WAS EXITING MY CAR YESTERDAY, THE NEEDLE POINTED SOUTH AND WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK IT WENT BACKWARD TO 120 MPH. I CALLED GM TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM OR ANY OTHERS AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, WHICH I KNOW IS UNTRUE DUE TO THE GAS LEAK RECALL. I CALLED THE GM SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AND THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM FOR THE SAME REASON AS MINE HTTP://WWW.LAWCASH.COM/ATTORNEY/4913/GENERAL-MOTORS-LAWSUIT.ASP *TR

WINDSHIELD LOOSENS FROM SEAL , HAD REPLACED 1 TIME AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN SOON. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT WITH 4WD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS ROLLED AWAY WHILE IN PARK. ALSO, THE VEHICLE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WENT FORWARD WHEN THE GEAR SELECT WAS IN REVERSE. FINALLY, ON 4 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE PUT ITSELF IN NEUTRAL. TWICE AT SPEED AND TWICE WHILE WAITING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THIS VEHICLE NEARLY RAN OVER MY 3-YEAR-OLD CHILD AND THE DEALER CLAIMS ALL OF THESE INSTANCES HAVE BEEN DRIVER ERROR. I'VE HAD IT WITH GM AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO SEE ANY URGENCY WITH THIS HUGE SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FREEZES UP AND WILL NOT GO BACK TO 0. HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN 6 WEEKS. *TR
