ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO RISE EVEN WHEN I STOPPED. I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN VARIOUS FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET HAS YET TO RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILING BUT STILL WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED IN THE TRAILBLAZER. THE OTHER TRUCKS AND SUV'S HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET IS PAYING FOR THEM BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. I WILL NEED TO PAY $450 FOR A NEW INSTRUMENT PANEL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE A WORKING SPEEDOMETER. *TR

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
THIS VEHICLE WOULD GO OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT WARNING BECAUSE OF A FAULTY 4 WHEEL DRIVE SWITCHING SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC, AND AN UNOCCUPIED PARK SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF PARK AND ROLLED INTO A DOOR WHILE IN THE GARAGE. THE VEHICLE ALSO WENT OUT OF GEAR IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO FIND THE ROAD SHOULDER. IF THE DRIVER MANIPULATED THE SWITCH IT WOULD SOMETIMES RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. AN ENCODER MOTOR SENSOR WAS REPLACED, THEN FAILED IN TWO WEEKS. IT WAS THEN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENCODER MOTOR WAS FAULTY AND CAUSING THE ENCODER SENSOR TO FAIL. REPLACED MOTOR AND SENSOR AGAIN. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE PART OF THE EXISTING RECALL FOR ALL 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS, NOT JUST THE SELECT FEW AS PRESCRIBED TODAY. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EX. BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE CENTER HIGH BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY PRIVATE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH THE VEHICLE. I STATED I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL OR SPECIAL POLICY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT HE WOULD CHECK. 1) THERE WAS RECALL NHTSA ACTIONS # EA04021 THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS YEAR VEHICLE. 2) I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A GM SPECIAL POLICY THAT WOULD COVER THE RIGHT TAILLIGHT CIRCUIT BOARD. I WAS TOLD THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE BULBS IN THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT TO FAIL. THERE IS NOT POLICY TO REPLACE THE LEFT CIRCUIT BOARD. IF IT FAILS THERE IT WILL BE COVERED FOR 6 YEARS OR 75,000 MILES. MY ISSUE IS IT THERE IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WITH NO PRIOR WARNING OF DEFECT, MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. AFTER INITIAL LOOK THROUGH FOR ANY OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WHAT MAY BE WRONG, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHERE A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS QUICKLY DIAGNOSED AND I WAS QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF JUST UNDER $5,000 !!! MY WIFE AND I THINK THIS IS PRETTY ODD CONSIDERING THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND ABSENCE OF SIGNS OF TROUBLE, SO WE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS (PARTICULARLY ON 2002 TRAILBLAZER) ARE VERY COMMON. IT IS BELIEVED THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS AND THE PHRASE "SILENT RECALL" KEPT COMING UP. *TR
