ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY SPEEDOMETER AND RPM DIAL HAVE STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER AND THE LADY TOLD ME THAT I AM NOT COVERED FOR THEIR SPECIAL PROVISIONING FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THAT THEIR SPECIAL PROVISIONING ONLY COVERS VEHICLES 7YRS/70K MILEAGE. I HAVE OVER 90K MILES AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER ME. I CAN?T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY CAR I CAN?T BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) AS LONG AS YOUR BEATING UP ON TOYOTA, BEAT UP ON A COMPANY THAT REAL MAKES AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. GMAC. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ON THE WEB AND THEIR ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. I HAVE A 2004 TRAIL BLAZER. MY ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER START TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU LOOK UP AND I AM GOING NEGATIVE RPMS AND NEGATIVE MPH WHILE CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. OR THE NEXT TIME IT WILL GO FAST THAN I AM TRAVELING. EACH MORNING THOUGH IT STARTS OUT WORKING CORRECTLY, THEN AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR IT GOES OFF AGAIN. ONCE IT GOES OFF IT STAYS OFF TILL THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN OVER NIGHT. LOOSING YOUR SPEED WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS. GM HAS BEEN CHURNING OUT CHEAP JUNK FOR YEARS. LIGHT THEM UP. [XXX] *TR

STEERING
MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAD A SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 43,000 MILES ON IT AND FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. IT BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT TRAVELING FAST AT THE TIME. NOTE THAT THERE WERE NO LEAKS IN THE SYSTEM AND THERE WAS THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. *TR

TWO YEARS AGO MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING OUR 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN OUR SPEEDOMETER, OIL GAUGE, TACHOMETER,AND VOLTMETER WENT OUT. WE COULD NOT SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY EVERYONE WAS PASSING BY US SO QUICKLY WHEN WE WERE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT ACCORDING TO THE SPEEDOMETER. THANKFULLY WE HAD GPS AND WERE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT QUICKLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE GPS WE WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW FAST WE WERE GOING. SOON AFTER THIS HAPPENED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE WERE HAVING ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH SENSORS GOING BAD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THESE PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS PROBLEM. GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS MODEL FOR THIS PROBLEM, YET THEY DID FOR THE SUBURBAN LINE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE, IF YOU CAN, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE YET TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS HOPING FOR A RECALL BUT HAVE HAD NO LUCK. WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THESE PROBLEMS SO WE CAN PASS INSPECTION. THANKYOU VERY MUCH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS INSTRUMENT PANEL ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATES AND OFTEN DOESN'T WORK WHICH SEEMS TO CAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER TO RESPOND SLOWLY. I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT EVENTUALLY THE SPEEDOMETER WILL QUIT AS WILL THE GAS GAUGE, OIL GAUGE, ETC. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BY CHEVY. OTHER MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ODOMETER, GAS AND BATTERY GAUGES FOR ABOUT A YEAR. HOWEVER, NOW THE ODOMETER DROPS AND THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHEN I GO TO SLOW DOWN. THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF FOR A SECOND. NO OTHER LIGHTS ARE ON SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS. CAR HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON AFTER COMPLETING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT A LOCAL DEALER THEY SAID THE MALFUNCTION WAS THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION(AIR PUMP) CODE P0410. THEY SAID THE REASON THESE GO OUT IS BECAUSE OF AN ENGINEERING DEFECT AND THE WAY THEY ROUTED THE HOSES INSTEAD OF AIR FLOWING THROUGH IT CAUSES WATER TO ACCUMULATE THEREFORE MAKING THE MOTOR IN THE AIR PUMP TO GO BAD. SO WHILE CHANGING OUT THIS BAD AIR PUMP THERE WAS SO MUCH WATER THAT HAD ACCUMULATED IT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE LIGHT TO BLOW WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED THE MECHANIC TO BE ELECTROCUTED! *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. MY SISTER IN LAW HAS A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. MY RPM DIAL ENT CRAZY A YEAR AGO AND NOW MY SPEEDOMETER IS OUT. I HAVE 82000 MILES ON IT. CHEVY REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF $500. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND MANY WEBSITES. THIS IS AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. WE NEED A RECALL. THIS IS FOR TRAILBLAZERS WITH THE YEARS OF 2003-2005. I AM NOT GETTING MY PROBLEM FIXED AND I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY OTHER INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS THAT DO NOT WORK ON THE HIGHWAY. GM LOST A LAWSUIT FOR THE EXACT SAME YEAR VEHICLES FROM 2003-2005 FOR THE SUBURBAN, TRUCKS, TAHOES ETC. MY VEHICLE IS ALSO CONSIDERED A TRUCK AND I AM SURE THAT SAME CHEAP PART WAS USED IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM PART THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. PLEASE HELP! *TR

NEARLY HAD A WRECK WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MILES PER HOUR. I DID NOT SEE A RECALL. I HAVE SEEN ON LINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
LAST SUMMER, MY VEHICLE STARTED STUMBLING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT THE ISSUE BEING RESOLVED. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, TUNE-UP, MAP SENSOR, AIR INTAKE SENSOR, FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED, FAN CLUTCH REPLACED, STILL HAD THE STUMBLING PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN I HEARD THE ENGINE REV UP VERY HIGH, BUT I WASN'T GOING ANY FASTER. I THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS, THE ENGINE RACED, BUT I WAS JUST COASTING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE MEDIAN, THANK GOD NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME. I ALSO THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE MY FAMILY WITH ME. THE MECHANIC SAID, THAT ONE OF THE GEARS INSIDE, THE TRANNY WAS BROKEN, AND THE PUMP HAD SHATTERED. I WOULD HATE TO SEE THIS HAPPEN TO SOMEONE, AND THEY CAN NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY, SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED. *TR

ON 02/05 /2010 I WAS GOING SOUTH ON 165 TO MONROE, LA IT WAS ABOUT 8:00 AT NIGHT,WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS THEN THE HEADLIGHTS JUST WENT OUT. THIS MADE ME GO INTO A PANIC. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE IT WAS VERY DARK. I DID MANAGE TO PULL OVER. THANKFULLY THERE WAS A GAS STATION NEAR BY. ON 2/06/2010 I TOOK TO A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE BE SEEING THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME. BUT THEY CLOSE EARLY ON SATURDAY SO THEY COULD NOT FITS IT IN ONE DAY. SO I TOOK TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM 4 TIMES IN JAN. SO CHEVROLET HAS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS LOOKING INTO. *TR
