2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

I WAS WONDERING HOW COME THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL FOR THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. I SEE THAT THEY HAVE RECALLS ON OTHER CHEVY CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AS WHEN THIS GOES YOU HAVE A REDUCE ENGINE LIGHT THAT COMES ON. WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT UNTIL MY CAR WASN'T GOING ANY MORE THAN 20 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD LIKE I WAS AND CAN'T SPEED UP OR BETTER YET TRYING TO TURN WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO DO SO. ALSO, I SEE THAT THERE WERE ALSO ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHICH ALSO I HAD THAT PROBLEM HAS TO PAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED. AS HOW THEY WOULD SAY THEIR ARE MANUFACTURE PARTS WHICH DEFINITELY HURTS YOUR POCKETS. IF THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THESE ISSUES THEY REALLY NEED TO RECTIFY BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES CAUSE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD. I KNOW THEY ARE WEAR AND TEAR ON CARS / TRUCKS BUT IF YOU HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I THINK THEY SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. *JS

TANK IS SUBJECT TO CRACKING CAUSING ROUGH IDLE VEHICLE SPEED SURGES AND GAS VAPORS IN THE VEHICLE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WILL FAIL EMISSIONS. MANUFACTURE RECALL WAS PUT OUT BUT VEHICLE HAS TO BE MADE AT A CERTAIN FACULTY AND MINE WASN'T, BUT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED CARS. *JS

IN COLD WEATHER, THE STEERING FLUID BECOMES FILLED WITH AIR. THEN IT FOAMS AND BOILS OUT OF THE PUMP.THE CAR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IT HAS DONE IT TWICE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN ALL DASH GAUGES FAILED. PARTICULARLY CONCERNING WAS THE FAILURE OF THE SPEEDOMETER. GM HAS ADMITTED THAT OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE PAID FOR AND INSTALLED REPLACEMENT DASH CLUSTERS ON SOME MODELS. THE 2004 TRAILBLAZER IS NOT COVERED AS THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH OCCURRENCES OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE REPORTED. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED IN MY FAMILY'S GARAGE, AS I AM EXPERIENCING A STRONG GAS SMELL. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK, BUT I DO NOT DARE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN FIND WHAT THE GAS SMELL IS ORIGINATING FROM. *TR
