2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT SPEEDOMETER DOES INDICATE CORRECT SPEED. OPERATION IS INTERMITTENT. WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, INDICATION IS FROM 0 MPH TO PEGGED OUT, WITH NEEDLE FLUCTUATING. NO ACCIDENTS, INJURIES, OR SPEEDING TICKETS, YET!!! *TR

SPEEDOMETER STUCK AND IS POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN. AT FIRST IT WAS STUCK AT 80MPH AND THEN JUST FELL ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM. NOW IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER ONLY HAS 50K MILES. *TR

GAS GAUGE HAS NOT BEEN RELIABLE. LOW GAS LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AND DOES NOT REGISTER ADDITION OF GAS ACCURATELY. *JB

I PURCHASED MY 04 TRAILBLAZER IN MAY OF 07. UP UNTIL JULY THERE WHERE NO PROBLEMS. SINCE THEN MY SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGES HAVE BEEN ACTING UP. ON MANY OCCASIONS THEY GIVE THE WRONG READINGS. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED TWICE FOR SPEEDING WHEN I DID NOT THINK I WAS BECAUSE OF THE WRONG READING. LAST WEEK ON 5 SEP 07 THE SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY FROZE GIVING ME NO READING AT ALL. SINCE THEN THE NEEDLE HAS STARTED MOVING BUT IS NO WHERE NEAR THE CORRECT READING. *TR

PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FLOW FROM A STOP TO 45 MPH WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY WIFE'S 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER INDICATED I WAS DOING 75 MPH. CONTINUING AT THE TRAFFIC FLOW SPEED OF ABOUT 45 WITH SLIGHT SLOWDOWNS AND SPEEDUPS FOR APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER CLIMBED TO 85 MPH. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP IT WENT TO 80 MPH. THEN, ACCELERATING TO 35 MPH, IT NOW READ 105 MPH. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND SHUT OFF THE TRUCK IT WENT TO 80 MPH NOT 0. TRUCK HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT. **AK

IN THE 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ENGINE CHECK LIGHT STAYED ON. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE 10 CHEVROLET DEALERS WE TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM W UNTIL WE WERE PAST THE 70,000 MILES EXTRA WARRANTY CHEVROLET ADDED TO COVER ALL THE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. WARRANTY INFORMATION WAS ADDRESSED IN SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT- FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FRACTURE #05012 ON MARCH 14, 2005. APPARENTLY, AS WE WERE TOLD BY A CHEVROLET DEALER THIS VEHICLE HAD A FRACTURE IN THE GAS TANK, AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO REPLACE THE TANK. THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE FOUND NUMBER OF ARTICLES OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY FOR US, AS THIS VEHICLE WAS THE PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION FOR MY CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL. *AK

MY VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS TIMES QUIT RUNNING (SINCE PURCHASE 2004) BY FIRST BEING UNSTABLE AND ROUGH ENGINE IDLE. IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME ON HIGHWAY AND THEN COMING TO A FULL STOP AT AN EXIT; VEHICLE WILL SURGE AT LOW SPEED/SHUDDER AND WILL STOP RUNNING. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP VEHICLE RUNNING IS BY PRESSING GAS AND BRAKE (NOT SAFE). TALKED TO DEALERSHIP AN THERE IS NO FIX. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE TOP MOLDING ON THE REAR WINDOW SUDDENLY DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE COLD AND WINDY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS THE CONTACT'S FAULT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 78,000.*AK

THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 120 AND STAYED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN SLOWLY CAME BACK DOWN BUT WHEN TRAVELING 5 MPH IT WILL SAY 40 TO 90 DEPENDS HOW IT FEELS. GM WILL NOT BACK UP UNDER WARRANT. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TRUCKS...VEHICLE IS A 2004 TRAILBLAZER ,WITH 40,000 MI.. *JB

THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OWNERS OF TRAILBLAZERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB
