ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND THE DASH CLUSTER IS CONSTANTLY SHOWING INCORRECT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 80,000. MILES ON IT. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW 55 AT A STAND STILL, AND THE TACHOMETER DOES WHATEVER IT WANTS, NEITHER DO AS THEY SHOULD. THE PROBLEM IS ALMOST A CONSTANT, IT WILL WORK CORRECTLY FOR A FEW MILES, THEN GOES SILLY AGAIN. *TR

INSTRUMENTS IN MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SHOW WRONG LEVELS (EX. TRAVELING AT 70 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWING 55 MPH) OIL AND CHARGING LEVELS ARE ALSO WRONG. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. GOVERNMENT HAS RECALL OTHER CHEVY TRUCK MODELS WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE IS A VERY BAD GAS SMELL COMING FROM MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER. FROM WHAT I'M LED TO BELIEVE IT'S THE GAS TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED AS OF YET BUT I'M SURE I GOING TO HAVE TO AT MY EXPENSE. I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL IF IT IS AN ERROR ON THEIR BEHAVE. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'M FINDING ON THE INTERNET I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING THEY MAY HAVE MISSED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR. WHEN I FILL IT SOMETIMES IT SAYS THERE IS GAS OTHER TIMES IT BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS BEFORE & THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE STREET WHEN IT OCCURRED. MYSELF OR ANYONE COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENS. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON PLACE FOR THESE VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM THAT IS INVOLVED IN A CURRENT ODI INVESTIGATION. MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS INTERMITTENT FUEL READING FAILURES READING INCORRECTLY. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS BUT HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND ALSO OCCURRING RIGHT NOW. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I DISCOVERED OVER ONE HUNDRED FORUM POSTINGS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALSO FOUND OUT ABOUT ODI DP 10-001. MY PROBLEM IS CURRENT AND ONGOING, FURTHER MORE IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION FOR THE OPEN INVESTIGATION IF REQUESTED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I REACHED 55,000 MILES ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAIZER. NOW, MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT STICKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT EVEN MOVE OFF THE 0MPH. BETTER YET, MY HEAD LIGHTS ARE RANDOMLY TURNING OFF. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONE A DAY. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CHEVY CAN TELL ME THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT LIVE IN A PLACE THAT HAST DAY LIGHT 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK AND AM FORCED TO DRIVE DURING THE NIGHT HOURS. IF MY LIGHTS ARE OUT AND AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED, I WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I'M SURE I WILL EVENTUALLYG ET PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE, IT'S JUST I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR. WHAT DO I EXPLAIN TO THE OFFICER, "SORRY MY LIGHTS ARE OUT AND NO, I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING?" THIS IS A JOKE! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET , YET CHEVY WILL NOT ADMIT TO THIS "CLUSTER" ISSUE BEING RELATED TO SAFETY? SO WHEN I GET TICKETS FROM THE POLICE, FAIL MY MASSACHUSETTS STATE INSPECTION AND MAYBE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, DO I FORWARD ALL BILLS TO CHEVY? AND IF A LIFE IS LOST, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RELACE THAT? WHY CAN'T THEY JUST RECALL THIS ISSUE BEFORE THIS HAPPENS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED YET? *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TO FLORIDA FROM OHIO I FELT A BUDGE AND THEN HEARD THE VEHICLE SOUND LIKE IT WAS DOWN SHIFTING AND THE RPMS WERE HIGH. I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HEADED BACK HOME DOING 40 MPH SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT PAST 2ND GEAR. ALSO THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS HARSHLY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE THIS SAME SUBJECT. I AM ASSUMING THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO REPORT SUCH INCIDENTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER. IT RANDOMLY GOES UP TO VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES NO SPEED AT ALL, MEANING IT HANGS BETWEEN 120 AND 0. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE AT TIMES I AM GUESSING MY SPEED AND MY CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS IN THE CAR WITH ME. CHEVROLET/GMC SHOULD HAVE ALREADY RECALLED THIS A LONG TIME AGO. THEY KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ITS CONSUMERS, SO HOW CAN THEY NOT FIX SOMETHING THAT IS THEIR FAULT? I DON'T THINK THE BUYERS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $500 OR MORE OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE'S VEHICLE. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
THERMOSTAT HAS FAILED TWICE DURING LONG TRIPS. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RUN HOT OR COLD. I AM ON MY THIRD ONE AND HAVE CONCLUDED IT MUST BE A DESIGN DEFECT. FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL AND THUS STRAND THE DRIVER. *TR
