ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AT RANDOM TIMES. IT WILL STICK AT 100 AND STAY THERE FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES IT WILL CORRECT AFTER REPEATED STARTING OF THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $600 TO REPAIR. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A PRETTY CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL SUV. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER, BUT DOES NOT STALL. THE FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE FAILURE HAS NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT ALL THE COILS AND PLUGS WERE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE GASKET LEAKING WATER AND CAUSING THEM TO CRACK. THE ONLY WORK PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE WAS FOR THE BRAKES AND SPARK PLUGS IN 2008. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 92,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR REMAINS ILLUMINATED NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. THE GAUGE STATED THAT THERE WAS A "LOW GASOLINE LEVEL". AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT IS NEVER FULLY AWARE OF THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN HER FUEL TANK. SHE CALLED THE DEALER, BUT THEY REFUSED RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE IS STILL EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,337.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE TAILLIGHTS ARE DELAYED WHEN NEEDING TO TURN ON. IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKE, BLINKER OR PLACE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON UNTIL A FEW SECONDS HAVE PASSED. ALSO CONDENSATION BUILDS UP ON THE INSIDE LENS. IT HAPPENS EVER TIME I DRIVE OR USE THE VEHICLE. A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE TAILLIGHTS DID NOT COVER THE DELAY OR CONDENSATION ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND GM. SO FAR I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY CORRECTIVE STEPS, I AM GOING TO TRY REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY AND HOPE THAT RESOLVES IT. THE LIGHT IS NOT CRACKED OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, AND VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DASHBOARD SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER METERS DO NOT WORK. EVERY ONCE AND AWHILE THE DIALS WILL COME ON, BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY DO NOT WORK. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL CHARGE OVER 400.00 DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEM. *TR

EQUIPMENT, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HORN HAS INTERMITTENT ISSUES OF WORKING - WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEN IT WORKS. THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE APART THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRING, I AM SURE THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESEARCHED SINCE IT WILL BE AT OUR COST. THE HORN ONLY SEEMS TO WORK WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED SHAPELY. SINCE IT IS UNDER THE AIR BAG, THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. *TR

YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT FORWARD FROM REVERSE. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO OPERATE ESPECIALLY NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. ALL GAUGES BUT THE TACHOMETER COMPLETELY STOP WORKING. THEY WILL WORK IN THE MORNING, BUT WHEN I LEAVE WORK THEY STOP WORKING. THIS HAS STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I HAVE TO RELY ON MY TACHOMETER ON HOW FAST I AM GOING. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT WILL STOP WORKING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND ALSO I HAVE READ MANY REPORTS FROM OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE GAUGES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AROUND 65,000 MILES, MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, ONLY READING AS EMPTY AND TURNING ON THE YELLOW GAS LIGHT. THIS ALSO CAUSED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON. UPON TAKING MY CAR FOR INSPECTION, MY CAR WAS FAILED, BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DUE TO A BAD FUEL SENSOR IN MY CAR AND THE CHARGE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED IS AROUND $900. UPON DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THIS PART I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE AS WHEN MY PROBLEM BEGAN. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM I MUST NOW TRACK MY MILEAGE IN ORDER TO KNOW WHEN TO FILL UP, AND BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS, I CANNOT PASS MY STATE INSPECTION. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ISSUED AS A RECALL BY GM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HELLO I AM WRITING CONCERNING MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE THE GAUGES ALL MESSED UP AND IT WOULD SAY I WAS GOING 90 WHEN I WASN'T MOVING AT ALL. NOW, THE DEALER WENT AHEAD AND FIXED THAT FOR ME, BUT NOW THE GAS GAUGE IS SCREWING UP, IT WILL SAY I HAVE MORE GAS THEN I HAVE, IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW, AND I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS THREE TIMES WITH MY BABIES IN THE CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE RECALLED? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I HAVE TO DRIVE 1000 MILES SOON, MY HUSBAND IS DEPLOYED NOW TO IRAQ AND I AM SUPPOSE TO GO TO VISIT FAMILY AND I'M SCARED TO DO THAT IN THIS VEHICLE AND ITS ALL I HAVE. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE READ 1/4 OF A TANK AND I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP AND 2 HOURS AFTER I FILLED UP THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED TO PUT MORE GAS IN THINKING THAT MAYBE I STOPPED IT TOO EARLY AND IT WASN'T FULL. I STARTED DRIVING AND THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. SO NOW MY GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND I HAVE TO RELY ON MY MILES PER TRIP TO FIGURE OUT WHEN TO FILL UP. *TR
