ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT IS DISPLAYING ERRATIC READINGS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED THE SPEEDOMETER IS SHOWING THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT 40 MPH. WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE SPEEDOMETERS SHOWS THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT 90 MPH. MULTIPLE POSTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE ONLINE. FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS ON THESE VEHICLES. ALSO, BEFORE THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN SHOWING ERRATIC READINGS TODAY, THE SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T MOVE SMOOTHLY. WHEN ACCELERATING THE SPEEDOMETER MOVED ONE TICK AT A TIME, SIMILAR TO HOW THE SECOND HAND ON A CLOCK MOVES. THE NEXT TIME I GOT IN THE CAR AFTER THIS HAPPENED IS WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED SHOWING INACCURATE SPEED RATINGS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE YOU CAN NOT TELL HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 65,000 MILES. I PURCHASED IT 2.5 YEARS AGO WHEN IT HAD 29,000 MILES AT CARMAX. I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED YET, BUT ALL POSTS I HAVE READ ONLINE INDICATE THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING AROUND 48,000 MILES. IT GOES UP AND DOWN. I RAN OUT OF GAS THIS MORNING. DID RESEARCH ON LINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. WAS WONDERING IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL? I KNOW THERE WAS ONE FOR THE 04/05 MODELS. EVERYONE THAT I READ SAID IT COST THEM ABOUT $800. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT ESPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING THAT CHEVY ALREADY KNEW ABOUT. SHOULDN'T THAT HAVE FIXED BEFORE THE 2006 MODELS CAME OUT IF THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 04/05?? *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONNECTION SHORTS OUT AND BURNS, AND HEATER AND A/C CONTROLS DON'T WORK ANYMORE WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN ON HEAT OR A/C KILLS ENGINE. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE LIFTGATE MODULE, THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM OF NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES STARTING IT. THIS ALL STARTED AT ABOUT 92,000 MILES. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST FOR HEAT AND A/C AROUND $600.00. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CHECK ENGINE LIGHTSTARTED COMING ON, THEN THE STABIL-TRAX AND THE ENGINE DECELERATION LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. WHEN THIS STARTED, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN EVERY TIME THE LIGHTS CAME ON.AT FIRST IT WAS AT INTERVALS OF 40 TO 140 MILES. WHENEVER THE ENGINE FIRST STARTED THIS, YOU COULD SHUT THE IGNITION OFF FOR 1-2 MIN. , THEN THE VEHICLE COULD BE STARTED AND DRIVEN UNTIL THE LIGHTS CAME ON. DOTSON CHEVROLET, IN BIG SONNE GAP, VA. ( WHERE WE BOUGHT VEHICLE), HAS HAD THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON FOR 6 WEEKS. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TANK, AND THE PCM MODULE ON THE ENGINE SO FAR. AS OF TODAY, 10-19-09 THE VEHICLE IS NOW SHUTTING DOWN AT 8-10 MILES. THEY SAY THEY ARE STILL CHECKING , BUT NOW THEY ARE THINKING THE PROBLEM MAY BE IN THE WIRING. SO FAR, WE HAVE LUCKILY BEEN DRIVING IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON THE INTERSTATE OF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC , IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SAYS THE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT GM WOULD HAVE TECH PEOPLE, OF ENGINEERS THAT WOULD KNOW WHY THE CODES AND LIGHTS DON'T CORRESPOND WHEN THIS OCCURS, OR WOULD HAVE SOME IDEA WHAT MIGHT CAUSE SUCH A PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BURN UP 3RD AND 4TH GEARS OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT APPEARS THAT BY READING THE OTHER TWO SUBMISSIONS THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS A PROBLEM AND TO WHERE THEY LOCATED THE COOLER LINES TO CAUSE RUST THROUGH. I DID HAVE SOME BRAKE WORK THAT I BELIEVE CAUSED THE RUSTED COOLER LINES TO BE JARRED ENOUGH FOR THE LINES TO BE SPED UP TO THE RUPTURE POINT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT V6, AND MY GAUGES FLUCTUATE SO MUCH THAT I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING, IF I REALLY NEED GAS, IF MY ENGINE IS RUNNING HOT OR NOT...I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I STARTED TO RENT CARS WHEN I NEEDED TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN, BECAUSE I WAS CONCERN ABOUT MAKING IT TO MY DESTINATION AS WELL AS COMING BACK HOME SAFELY. I HAVE BEEN SO UPSET AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. I START LOOKING FOR A COMPANY/GROUP TO HEAR MY CRY...AS I SURFED THE INTERNET, I FOUND SEVERAL INTERESTING STORIES SIMILAR TO MY COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT ANYMORE, BECAUSE AS A CONSUMER, I DESERVE TO HAVE A PROBLEM FIXED/SOLVED IF I PURCHASE A PRODUCT OR SERVICE FROM AN ORGANIZATION. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT NO ONE GETS HURT OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. I WOULD LOVE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIX WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY $500-800, BECAUSE FRANKLY I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!! *TR
