2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EX. BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE CENTER HIGH BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY PRIVATE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH THE VEHICLE. I STATED I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL OR SPECIAL POLICY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT HE WOULD CHECK. 1) THERE WAS RECALL NHTSA ACTIONS # EA04021 THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS YEAR VEHICLE. 2) I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A GM SPECIAL POLICY THAT WOULD COVER THE RIGHT TAILLIGHT CIRCUIT BOARD. I WAS TOLD THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE BULBS IN THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT TO FAIL. THERE IS NOT POLICY TO REPLACE THE LEFT CIRCUIT BOARD. IF IT FAILS THERE IT WILL BE COVERED FOR 6 YEARS OR 75,000 MILES. MY ISSUE IS IT THERE IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. *TR

SPEEDOMETER IS INCORRECT. IT WILL START OFF FINE BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MIN THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WILL START FALLING TO 0 AT A SLOW PACE. *TR

I OPENED THE REAR ACCESS TO MY TRAILBLAZER AND WAS ABOUT TO SHUT IT I REACHED MY HAND UP AND STARTED TO PULL THE HATCH DOWN. I HAD MOVED IT ABOUT AN INCH WHEN THE BACK WINDOW "EXPLODED" SENDING A SHOWER OF GLASS DOWN OVER ME AND MY FIVE YEAR OLD SON. IT SHOT GLASS FRAGMENTS 10 FEET. I HAD GLASS IN MY HAND AND MY HAIR. SON WAS BEHIND ME AND LUCKILY HE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INJURIES. PEOPLE HEARD IT NOISE INSIDE THE BUILDING. THE VEHICLE WAS CLEAR OF ICE AND SNOW AND IT WAS 20 DEGREES OUT, ( NOT TERRIBLY COLD COMPARABLY). I HAD NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH THE GLASS OR THE REAR ACCESS BEFORE. THE GLASS DID NOT HAVE A NICK OR A SCRATCH. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE MESS. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON BOTH MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT AND MY 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER SEDAN HAVE BEEN FUNCTIONING ERRATICALLY, I.E. REGISTERING 100 MPH IN PARK AND THEN NOT REGISTERING A SPEED AT ALL. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED IT STILL REGISTERS 15 - 20 MPH. I HAVE READ REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT GM IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN THAT ANYONE WILL ADMIT TO. OVERALL THIS TRUCK HAS SERVED MY FAMILY WELL, BUT THIS IS MY WIFE'S TRUCK (OUR MAIN VEHICLE) AND I NEED EVERYTHING TO WORK PROPERLY. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE TRAVELS WITH OUR CHILDREN AND WE NEED A VERY DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM I COULD UNDERSTAND THE REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE, BUT REPORT OF THIS PROBLEM ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.*CN

MAKE: CHEVROLET MODEL: TRAILBLAZER 04' EXT THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH "TRAILBLAZERS" BETWEEN 03-04. MANY COMPLAINTS, BUT NO ACTION TAKEN BY CHEVY TO FIX THIS. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO, AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND AND NOT KNOWING THEIR SPEED COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT?? *TR

THE REVERSE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING BLOWS OUT. THIS IS THE SECOND CHEVROLET VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED AND THE SAME PROBLEM ON BOTH THE FIRST TIME $2400.00 LATER IT WAS FIXED,AND NOW $2200.00 LATER THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. I KNOW OF 3 PEOPLE SO FAR THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL ASSURE YOU THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHEVROLET VEHICLE I WILL BUY UNLESS THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. PLEASE RESPOND. *TR
