2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN ACTING UP. IT IS NOW BURIED PAST THE TOP REGISTERED SPEED. IT WILL VARY FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT IS, FOR THE MOST PART, NON-WORKING. IT WILL SHOW THAT I AM AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IDLE OR IN PARK. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AND I FEEL THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *TR

GASOLINE SMELL WHEN CAR IS RUNNING. POSSIBLY RELATED TO FUEL TANK CONNECTORS. *TR

SMELL OF GAS AROUND VEHICLE. CRACKED FUEL TANK FILL TUBE CHECK VALVE BROKEN AT TANK. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY THE SPEEDOMETER READS FROM A FEW MPH HIGH TO 70 MPH HIGH. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ACROSS THE GM PRODUCT LINE AND IS COVERED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BY GM. BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. WHY NOT? *TR

WHERE SHOULD I START? PURCHASED 03 TRAILBLAZER IN 2/08 W/ONLY 60,000 MILES. HAS BEEN IN SHOP 3 MONTHS..LOST COUNT OF COSTS. A/C AND HEAT NOT WORKING PROPERLY..NO HOT AIR; CLUTCH FAN REPLACED; TRANSMISSION SLIPPING; ENGINE CUTS OFF WHILE AT STOP-LIGHT. SHOULD I GO ON? YOU WOULD THINK W/ONLY 60,000 MILES ON IT--IT WAS JUST GETTING BROKEN IN. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN A TRUCK BEFORE..NOW I AM STUCK WITH THE TRUCK AND ITS PAYMENT...NO MORE MONEY TO REPAIR AND CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IN. *TR

2003 TRAILBLAZER EXT, BEGAN TO HAVE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER OPERATION. NO SIGNS OF VISIBLE GAS NOTED UNDER VEHICLE. PROBLEM PERSISTED, (APPROX 1 MONTH) AND GASOLINE BECAME OBVIOUS IN LIQUID FORM DRIPPING FROM BOTTOM OF TANK AND FRAMING OF VEHICLE. VEHICLE TAKEN TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND FUELPUMP/MODULATOR CHANGED AND PROBLEM RESOLVED. *TR

I FILLED MY GAS TANK ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. AND GOT A GAS SMELL, SHORTLY AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FILL AND FUEL PUMP AREA I GUESS. I WAS REFERRED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS DEFECT AND CAME ACROSS THIS. THE GARAGE DID A TEMP. REPAIR WITH SILICON THAT ONLY LASTED 3 WEEKS. NOW THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING. I WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR
