THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO CORRECT ITSELF, THEN A FEW WEEKS AND A COUPLE OF "DANCES" LATER THE GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT WAS PERMANENTLY ON. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS TODAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP, I WILL BE DRIVING AND IT WILL STOP READING MY SPEED AND GOING DOWN TO 0, IT WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL AFTER I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, DID THAT COUPLE TIMES, NOT VERY OFTEN, THEN STARTED GETTING STUCK ON WHATEVER SPEED I WAS GOING, AND DIDN'T MATTER IF WAS SLOWING DOWN OR GOING FASTER, WILL STAY AT THAT SPEED ON THE SPEEDOMETER, COUPLE DAYS AGO STARTED TO GO NUTS, NOW WHEN I AM STOPPED READS I AM AT 20 OR 30 MPH, AND WHEN I AM GOING 30 OR 40 STARTS GOING UP AND DOWN, MARKING 100 MPH WHEN I AM ACTUALLY GOING JUST 40 MPH, I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE, A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR OLDER MODELS, BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2005, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW, AND I HAVE TO USE MY GPS UNIT TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING, AND AVOID GETTING PULL OVER OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I WILL LIKE TO HAVE CHEVROLET TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IS CLEARLY A CHEVY ISSUE NOT A CONSUMER ONE, WE PAID FOR A PRODUCT THAT SUPPOSED TO WORK PROPERLY AND IT IS NOT. *TR

WE HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LTZ. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS GOING ALL CRAZY. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON A LOT OF THE VEHICLES. WE AHVE TWO CHILDREN AND HATE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WE DON'T KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ONCE A MONTH AT FIRST AND NOW IT IS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. *TR

NOT SURE WHAT TO FILE THIS UNDER, SO I PUT IT UNDER FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. SAME DAY I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SPEEDOMETER I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAGE. THE ARROW WOULD GO WAY PAST FULL, WHEN I KNEW I ONLY HAD ABOUT HALF A TANK. THE GAS GAGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP EVER SINCE, I JUST HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILEAGE TO KNOW WHEN TO FILL IT UP. HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED YET. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 90MPH ON A TRIP AND CARS WERE PASSING ME, WHEN I STOPPED THE SPEEDOMETER READ 35MPH STANDING STILL. IT DID THIS FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS, THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THE OTHER DAY COMING HOME FROM A TRIP IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS ACTING UP AGAIN, BUT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, HE THOUGHT IT WAS ACTING UP TOO. IT IS BACK TO NORMAL, HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NOT SURE WHAT TO FILE THIS UNDER, SO I PUT IT UNDER UNKNOWN AND OTHER. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. IT STAYED ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN WENT OFF, A FEW DAYS LATER IT WAS BACK ON, THEN A FEW DAYS LATER WENT OFF, THEN IT CAME ON FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME AND DO THE SAME THING, EVENTUALLY IT STAYED ON. TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THE GAS TANK HAD A CRACK IN IT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SAID IT WAS PROBABLY FROM THE GAS NOZZLE HITTING THE TANK WHEN FILLING IT UP. DON'T SEE HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE, WHEN IT IS ONLY ME OR MY HUSBAND FILLING IT UP & HOW HARD WOULD YOU HAVE TO HIT IT FOR IT TO CRACK? HAD IT REPLACED THE NEXT MONTH. NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS DOING THE SAME THING. HAVEN'T TAKEN IT BACK IN YET. *TR
