I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN 2004. IN 2007, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION EXHIBITING ERRATIC FUNCTION. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. NOW, HERE IT IS, 2/2010 AND THE CLUSTER IS DOING THE VERY SAME THING THE ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE CLUSTER WAS DOING. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND READ WHERE MANY, MANY OWNERS OF CHEVY PRODUCTS FROM 2003 ON ARE HAVING THESE COMPARABLE ISSUES AND THAT CHEVY HAS SOME SORT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY ARE OFFERING FOR MANY GM PRODUCTS WITH THESE DEFECTIVE CLUSTERS. I AM DISGUSTED BY THE FACT THAT, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO AN INADEQUATE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS NECESSARY TO WARRANT COVERAGE. IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE TRAILBLAZER HAS THE IDENTICAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS THE OTHER GM PRODUCTS COVERED IN THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY. AT THIS POINT, I AM ADDING MYSELF TO WHAT I'M SURE IS A GROWING NUMBER OF UNHAPPY GM OWNERS COMING TO YOU IN HOPES THAT GM WILL BE MADE HELD RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE A THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS AT VARIOUS TIMES. ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THERE ARE 46 COMPLAINTS OF SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THEM AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE FIX IS. ONE GARAGE TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS BAD SO REPLACING IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, IT DIDN'T. I HAD A SPEED CONTROL SENSOR PUT IN, AND THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER. NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE COMING ON, SO NOBODY KNOWS WHAT ELSE TO DO. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE MONEY TO PUT IN THIS VEHICLE. THE BATTERY AND THE SPEED CONTROL SENSOR TOGETHER HAVE COST ME OVER $200. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DOES NOT SHOW CORRECT FUEL LEVEL IN FUEL TANK. MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS WITH 6 CYL. ENGINE ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD BECOME A DEADLY SITUATION IF SOMEONE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP. I HAVE FOUND OVER 200 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS, YUKONS, AND VARIOUS OTHER GM VEHICLES. PLEASE VISIT THIS WEB SITE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR IS KILLED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE COMPONENT FAILED THREE MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

JUST AS SO MANY OTHER 2005 TRAILBLAZER OWNERS, NEITHER MY SPEEDOMETER OR GAS GAUGE HAS WORKED FOR SOME TIME. I REFUSE TO PAY THE COST TO HAVE THESE REPAIRED AT $500 + ON A VEHICLE THAT I FEEL IS STILL NEW. TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM, I PURCHASED A GARMIN WHICH WILL TELL YOU WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING AND HAVE FIGURED OUT WITH MY GAS GAUGE THAT WHEN I HAVE GAS, MY LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AND WHEN I AM GETTING LOW, IT GOES OFF. SO I WORK BACKWARDS, WHEN MY LOW FUEL LIGHT GOES OFF, I FILL MY GAS TANK AND MONITOR THE MILES I HAVE DRIVEN. WHY IS GM NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM, IT IS OBVIOUSLY WIDESPREAD. *TR

THE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS A HISTORY OF THE GAUGE CLUSTER IN THE DASH BEING DEFECTIVE. IT SEEMS THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM GOING OUT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER DO NOT WORK. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT CHEVROLET DOES NOT FEEL THE NEED TO HELP THE CONSUMERS CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE CHECKED INTO THE TIME AN COST OF THE REPAIRS AND IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE FOR THE CONSUMER. *TR
