ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NONE OF MY GAGES WORK AND A LOT OF MY DASH LIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. MY SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAGES WORK BUT NOTHING ELSE DOES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BUT THEY WOULD ALWAYS GO BACK ON. BUT NOW IT HAS BEEN OFF FOR A WEEK WITHOUT GOING BACK TO NORMAL. TWICE LAST WEEK THE RADIO AND THE POWER WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING PARKED ALL THE TIME AND IT DOESNT GO BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY TRAILBLAZER UNTIL THESE THINGS ARE FIXED. I WORK AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS EITHER. GM NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO GET THIS FIXED ASAP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FAULTY GAUGES. GAUGES SOMETIMES WORK, SOMETIMES DON'T. WHEN NOT WORKING, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FIRST AND THEN NOTHING WORKS ON DASH PANEL EXCEPT SIGNAL LIGHTS. WHEN IT DOES WORK, NORMAL STARTUP OF LIGHTS. BEING THE ODOMETER IS DIGITAL, NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MANY MILES I HAVE GONE WHICH GOES HAND IN HAND WITH GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING SO NOT A CLUE HOW MUCH I HAVE.
