2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. SPEEDOMETER HAS MALFUNCTION CONTINUOUSLY FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS. COMPANY (GM) SAYS IT IS NOT DANGEROUS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. THOUSANDS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY. *TR

WHILE CHANGING LANES ON THE FREEWAY, MY TAILGATE WINDOW SHATTERED ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OF THIS EVENT. THERE WERE NO CHIPS IN THE GLASS, THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH. SINCE THE GLASS HAS SHATTERED THE TAILGATE LOCK MECHANISM IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING AS WELL. *TR

TIRE BLOWOUT AND DISINTEGRATION ON AMERICAN PROSPECTOR SUV 245-65-R17. TIRE HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS SIMILAR TO AN EARLIER RECALL OF A DIFFERENT SIZE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD FLUCTUATE CONTINUOUSLY PROVIDING INACCURATE SPEEDS TRAVELED. IN ADDITION, THE TAC AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES COMPLETELY FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,976.

CONTINUING FAILURE OF REAR LIGHTING (BACK-UP, BRAKE, DRIVING, AND TURN). TYPICALLY, I HAVE TO REPLACE A BULB ABOUT EVERY 6 WEEKS, AND THE ENTIRE LEFT ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. BULBS AND SOCKETS MELT UNTIL THEY ARE INOPERABLE. SIMILAR ISSUE WITH FRONT HEADLIGHTS, ALTHOUGH ONLY ABOUT ONCE A YEAR. OLD BULBS AND ASSEMBLY DISPOSED OF, BUT I'M SURE MORE MELTED ONES WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON. *TR

BAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY SIDE MIRRORS AREN'T WORKING AT ALL. MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS INOPERATIVE. I ALWAYS GET A CONSTANT VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE. MY GEARBOX SOMETIMES FREEZES OR GETS STUCK. POOR FUEL EFFICIENCY. *TR

MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER EXT. WOULD NOT START TODAY, ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON BUT GAS AND VOLTAGE GAUGE DON'T REGISTER. KEYS AND KEY FOBS ARE NOT RECOGNIZED ALSO ONLY SAYS UNKNOWN DRIVER .IT WILL NOT CRANK AT ALL OR EVEN MAKE NOISE, BATTERY,ALTERNATOR,STARTER AND ALL FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE GOOD. THERE IS NO SECURITY LIGHT THAT STAYS ON AND MY KEY WILL REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION! FRONT DOOR WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK OR RADIO.....ALL LIGHTS, A/C, BACK WINDOWS, SUNROOF, POWER SEATS WORK!.......HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A FUEL LINE LEAK AND MY HUSBAND GOT ON-LINE AND SAW THAT THERE IS POSSIBLY GOING TO BE A RECALL. I CALLED CHEVY AND THE GUY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF "SPECIAL COVERAGE" FOR THIS. HE ASKED ME MY MILEAGE AND THE VIN NUMBER THEN PUT ME ON HOLD. THEN HE CAME BACK ON LINE AND TOLD ME THAT MY TRAILBLAZER WAS 10,000 MILES OVER THE LIMIT FOR THE COVERAGE. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. IT'S ONLY 7 YRS. OLD AND I DON'T THINK THAT MILEAGE SHOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT ARE PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE. SO THEREFORE I HAVE NO VEHICLE UNTIL THIS IS FIXED AND THE COST IS SO OUTRAGEOUS THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I'LL BE ABLE TO GET IT FIXED AND I HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING MYSELF TO AND FROM WORK AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO RELY ON OTHER PEOPLE TO TAKE ME TO AND FROM PLACES. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE OF A VEHICLE AND THAT CHEVY SHOULD FIX THIS. I HAVE READ ON-LINE OF ALOT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR TRAILBLAZER. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S SPEEDOMETER JUST FROZE UP. SITTING STILL, I AM DOING 90 MPH. I TRIED DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL TO RESET IT, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. *TR
