ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WITH 49,000 MILES. AT 50,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN FROM GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR, THE NEEDLE STAYED ON 70 AND WHEN I ACCELERATED IT WOULD ACT AS THOUGH 70 WAS THE NEW 0. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER POINTS DOWN PAST THE 120 MPH MARK AND WILL NOT BUDGE. GM TOLD ME THAT IT NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST OVER $500 TO FIX. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT
FAILURE OF THE GAUGE CLUSTER ON A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER CURRENTLY WITH 59,300 MILES. ABOUT JUNE 2009 THE TACH CONTINUALLY READ INCORRECTLY. DEALER TRIED TO MISLEAD ME TO BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AT A COST OF APPROX. $100 I TOLD THEM ITS BROKE WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS. I HAD READ ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON -LINE AT EDMUNDS,COM.,MY SUV HAD 41,000 TO 42,000 MILES ON IT. IN JULY 2010 MY GAS GAUGE STARTED TO OCCASIONALLY MALFUNCTION, NOW JAN. 2011 IT IS INCORRECT. IN NOV. 2010 MY CHARGING GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. I ALSO HAVE SINCE READ ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER SIMILAR YEAR GM TRUCKS ANS SUV AND THEY HAVE RECALLS ON THEM. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME FOR THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE TO READ INCORRECTLY. PLEASE HELP, THESE MALFUNCTIONS ARE NOT SAFE. *LN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS A NON WORKING FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN. 2 OF WHICH LIVE OUT OF STATE AND WE DRIVE BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH FROM SC TO TN TO PICK THEM UP. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT WE WERE ANNOYED BUT WE JUST TOP THE GAS TANK OFF OFTEN, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER THAT JUST STARTED STICKING WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HANDLE. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED BUT WE TRAVEL SO MUCH FOR SUCH LONG DISTANCES THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM YET CHEVY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. IF CHEVY DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE WE WILL NOT EVER TRUST CHEVY PRODUCTS AGAIN. THE SAFETY OF AMERICAN FAMILIES OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT MATTER TO THEM. ONLY OUR BAIL OUT MONEY. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 6 MONTHS ABOUT. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND JUST PRAYING WE DO NOT GET A SPEEDING TICKET. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON EVEN WHEN RESET. I AM NOT BEING TOLD I NEED TO CHECK THE FUSE WHICH WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF THE NEXT THING TO GO WILL BE ALL THE ELECTRONICS IN THE DASHBOARD. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ITEM! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT AND THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THAT I HAVE CONDUCTED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS EVERYTIME THAT I DRIVE IT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CLUSTER IS GOING TO RUN ABOUT $400, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. *TR
