POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CHEVY 2002 TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT DRIVE RIGHT AND IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE AND THEN I PULLED OVER AND I COULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. I THEN FIGURES I LOST THE TRANSMISSION. NO WARNING. THANK GOD I WAS TRAVELING SLOW AT THE TIME. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MAJOR DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. CHEVY MUST HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. LAST WEEK I HAD TO PUT IN A NEW FUEL FILTER, A COUPLE MONTHS AGO IT WAS FRONT HUB BEARING. I HAD TO GET A NEW STARTER, BRAKES AND ROTORS EVERY YEAR, CLUTCH FAN. NO WONDER CHEVY IS HAVING PROBLEMS THEY SELL JUNK. PLEASE HELP US PEOPLE WHOM CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS QUIT WORKING. IT WILL REGISTER 30MPH AND I'M PROBABLY GOING 70 WHEN I'M KEEPING UP WITH THE TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. MOST OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. THIS JUST STARTED ON THE 25TH OF DECEMBER. WE HAVE NOTICED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL GM VEHICLES. THERE IS OTHER RECALLS ON THESE OTHER VEHICLES AND WE THINK THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT GAUGE CLUSTERS MALFUNCTION. ONE BY ONE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES HAVE BEEN FAILING. FIRST THE RPM GAUGE STUCK AT ZERO IN MARCH '08. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO (OCT '08), THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO AND NOW FLUCTUATES ERRATICALLY . OFTEN TIMES, RESTARTING THE CAR WILL TEMPORARILY RESET THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE UNTIL IT FAILS AGAIN. THIS MONTH (DEC. '08), THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE PEGGED HIGH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL TEMPORARILY HESITATE. THE ONLY GAUGE THAT APPEARS TO WORK PROPERLY IS THE FUEL GAUGE, AND I'M GUESSING THAT WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL TOO. DURING MY LAST OIL CHANGE AT A CHEVY DEALER, THEY INDICATED THAT MOST LIKELY THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/GAUGE DRIVERS ARE BAD AND CAN BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800. I'VE DONE A LOT OF SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH CHEVY VEHICLES, YET CHEVROLET HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT OR REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR
