ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ALONG MY TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DIP BELOW ZERO. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THE ELECTRICAL IS SHOT IN THE DASHBOARD AREA. MY VEHICLE HAS TO BE RUNNING FOR 30 MIN OR MORE FOR IT TO ACT UP. IF I LEAVE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE NEEDLE STAYS ,ONCE CRUISE IS TURNED OFF I'M DOING (HOPEFULLY) 70 WHILE MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS I'M DOING 20. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I'M NOT THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS. HAS CHEVY RECALLED THE DASHBOARD UNIT IN THE 2004 TRAILBLAZER YET? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER NO LONGER FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. SHOWS THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT 15 - 20 MPH SITTING IN THE GARAGE. HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD. GM HAS RECALLED THE FULL SIZE VEHICLES (I.E. TAHOE/ESCALADE) THAT HAVE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE MODE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE TRAILBLAZER/ENVOY CHASSIS USE THE SAME CLUSTER AS THE FULL SIZE VEHICLES, NO IDEA WHY THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SUV 4WD WITH 61000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE LOST REVERSE ON IT. MY MECHANIC TOOK IT APART AND FOUND SOME PIECES HAD BROKE AND IT WILL HAVE TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT IS THE SUN GEAR. I'M VERY UNHAPPY TO HEAR THAT GM DOESN'T ADMIT TO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION,BUT IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
