EXTERIOR LIGHTING, INTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. ALSO WHILE DRIVING MY LIGHTS WILL DIM AND THE BLOWER FOR HEAT & A/C WILL SLOW AND THEN PICK UP TO NORMAL SPEED AGAIN. IT ALSO REVS BY ITSELF, EVEN IN PARK AND WILL GO FORWARD SLIGHTLY WHEN IT DOES SURGE. THESE PROBLEMS ONLY STARTED AFTER THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE LIGHTS FLICKERING AND ENGINE SURGES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK AT 40MPH. IT NEVER CAME BACK DOWN, BUT EVENTUALLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE. AFTER $900 FOR A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IT WAS FIXED, BUT THE FOLLOWING YEAR A FRIEND OF MINE WITH AN 05 TRAILBLAZER HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HER. SHE WON'T GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT SEEMS JUST A TAD BIT SUSPICIOUS THAT SO MANY SPEEDOMETERS HAVE GONE OUT IN THESE THINGS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I NOTICED WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLDER/SNOW IN DECEMBER, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING AROUND 60 MPG HIGH SPEED WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. AFTER TURNING MY TRUCK ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES, IT WOULD RESET TO 0 MPH. ANOTHER HEAVY SNOW DAY CAME AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND AFTER I WAS EXITING MY CAR YESTERDAY, THE NEEDLE POINTED SOUTH AND WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK IT WENT BACKWARD TO 120 MPH. I CALLED GM TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM OR ANY OTHERS AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, WHICH I KNOW IS UNTRUE DUE TO THE GAS LEAK RECALL. I CALLED THE GM SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AND THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM FOR THE SAME REASON AS MINE HTTP://WWW.LAWCASH.COM/ATTORNEY/4913/GENERAL-MOTORS-LAWSUIT.ASP *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG TRAILBLAZER OWNERS, AND GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR IT. THE REPAIR MUST BE DONE BY A DEALER AND IS UPWARDS OF $600. THIS CAUSES A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION! *TR

ON 11/14/07 I PURCHASED A "02 TRAILBLAZER FROM SALISBURY CHEVROLET, IN SCOTIA, NY. ON DECEMBER 21, 2007 I HAD THE TRANSFER SWITCH REPLACED BECAUSE THE 4WD WOULD RANDOMLY SWITCH FROM 2WD TO 4LO OR AWD. I NEVER HAD TO USE THE 4WD LAST WINTER, SNOW FALLS WEREN'T THAT BAD. WENT TO SWITCH IT ON THIS YEAR ON 12/19 AND COME TO FIND OUT THAT MY 4WD WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. TOOK IT THE DEALER AND IT WILL COST ME $600 TO REPAIR. THE "SERVICE 4WD" LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT READING TO CORRECT SPEED ON THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FROM 2005. IT IS UP AND DOWN AND WHEN PARKED COULD BE AT ZERO OR 15 MPH...IT IS ALWAYS CHANGING. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY OR TRYING WATCH YOUR SPEED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I AM TAKING THIS BACK TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO, BUT I PROBABLY CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT ANY TIME SOON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR THREE WEEKS MY FUEL LIGHT DENOTES THAT I AM ON EMPTY. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD FORGOTTEN TO GET SOME GAS. BUT WHEN I STARTED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE GAS LIGHT, I NOTICED THAT, EVEN WHEN I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK, I WAS STILL GETTING THAT RINGING SOUND THAT DENOTES 'EMPTY'. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME ABOUT $460 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THAT AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY FOR A FUEL LIGHT. WHAT'S UP WITH THIS? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FILLED FUEL TANK APPROX. 1 MONTH AGO AND FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING. SHOWS EMPTY AND LIGHT REMAINS ON 90% OF THE TIME. IT HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE THAT TIME. WENT TO CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN SHOWING A PROBLEM. STATED FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT PROBABLY BAD. FUEL TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED. PRICE RANGES FOR REPAIR BETWEEN $800.00 AND $1100.00. HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GET FIXED DUE TO COST AND RESEARCH SHOWING THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM CHEVROLET IS HAVING. TEMPORARILY CORRECTING PROBLEM BY FILLING FUEL TANK EVERY 250 MILES. *TR

A WEEK AGO I STARTED MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 70 MPH IN PARK AND RPM GAUGE AT 6000. IT HAS NOT BEEN RIGHT SINCE - FLUCTUATING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 0- 120MPH WHILE AT A STOP OR DRIVING . FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED! *TR
