2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer Complaint Log

SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AT RANDOM TIMES. IT WILL STICK AT 100 AND STAY THERE FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES IT WILL CORRECT AFTER REPEATED STARTING OF THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $600 TO REPAIR. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A PRETTY CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL SUV. *TR

IT STARTED WITH THE SPEEDO GOING CRAZY , YOU WILL BE GOING 45-50 AND THE SPEEDO SAYS YOU ARE GOING 120. AT A STOP SIGN IT WILL SAY YOU ARE GOING 40. HAD IT CHECKED DEALER SAYS IT'S YOUR COMPUTER IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. WINNER CHEVROLET, COLFAX CA. NEXT TEMP GAUGE GOES TO 260 DEGREES. WE PULL OVER HAVE IT TOWED IN MECH. SAYS ITS FINE ITS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. NOW THE GAS GAUGE AND VOLTS GAS EMPTY AND WAY OVER CHARGING. MECH. SAYS IT A COMPUTER. *TR

ARE YOU GUYS (GALS) READING THE COMPLAINTS CENTERED AROUND 2004 TRAILBLAZER AND THE PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS "INSTRUMENT CLUSTER" MALFUNCTIONS? I HAVE!! THERE ARE ONE AFTER ANOTHER COMPLAINING ABOUT EITHER MIS-READINGS OR NO READING OF INSTRUMENT GAUGES! MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER HAS 70M MILES AND THE RPM READING IS MIS-READING AS WELL. GET GM TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE JUST AS THEY HAVE BEEN FORCED TO WITH OTHER PASSENGER & TRUCK MODELS. SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGE MIS-READINGS ARE A VERY SERIOUS HAZARDS TO DRIVING AND SAFETY TO THE PUBLIC. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO TAKE GM ON! *TR

SPEEDOMETER OF 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS BROKEN. IT WORKS SOMETIMES, BUT RECENTLY I AM CLUELESS ON WHAT SPEED I'M GOING . I MIGHT GO 55 MPH AND IT READS 120 MPH OR I'LL GO 40MPH AND IT'LL READ 10MPH. ??? *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ALL INSTRUMENTS INTERMITTENTLY QUIT FUNCTIONING DURING NORMAL OPERATION (SPEEDOMETER, FUEL LEVEL, RPM'S, BATTERY CHARGE, OIL PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, MILEAGE, AND GEAR INDICATOR. YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT FORWARD FROM REVERSE. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO OPERATE ESPECIALLY NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GIVES THE INCORRECT SPEED MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN I COMPARE THE SPEEDOMETER READING TO MY GPS, IT WILL SOMETIMES READ ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL. AT THIS TIME, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY GM FOR MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. *TR

WHILE EXITING MY CHILD SCHOOL PARKING LOT THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, HAD TO TURN HAZARD LIGHTS ON SO I WASN'T HIT. COULD NOT GO OVER 5 MILES PER HOUR. SPEEDOMETER HAS INTERMITTENTLY GONE HAYWIRE. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT DURING A TURN. *TR

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. *TR

MY SUV HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STOPPED SHOWING ME THE SPEED THAT I AM GOING. IT JUST SITS ON ZERO AND IT STOPPED SHOWING ME MY GAS, IT SITS ON E,...THIS IS A HUGE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I TRIED TO CONTACT CHEVY BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL...I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER! I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I LOVED MY VEHICLE AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT.... *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER DISPLAYS A READING OF 120 MPH AND OVER WHEN TRAVELING AT NORMAL SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY (MIDDLE LANE, MANY OTHER CARS PASSING ON LEFT). THIS WAS REPORTED TO A CAR DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (AT MY COST). *TR

FAULTY SPEEDOMETER! IT STARTED DISPLAYING THE WRONG SPEED. TOOK ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND NOW IT DOESN'T MOVE. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 7, 2009, WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN APPROACHING TRAFFIC I TOOK THE VEHICLE OFF OF CRUISE AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER, THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT MOVE. AFTER THAT, EVERYTIME I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT MOVE. EVERYTIME I START THE CAR IT DROPS 5 MPH, BUT WHEN YOU USE CRUISE OR DO A CONSTANT SPEED, IT STICKS AGAIN. WE ARE GETTING READY TO GO ON A BIG FAMILY VACATION AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE TAKING MY FAMILY IN A VEHICLE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. MY MECHANIC IS REPLACING THE CLUSTER WITH A USED ONE FROM THE LOCAL SALVAGE YARD. A USED ONE WITH LABOR IS STILL GOING TO COST ME $200 AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THAT ONE WILL LAST. I CANNOT BELIEVE WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EQUIPMENT FAILURE THAT GM HASN'T DONE ANYTHING. IT'S JUST NOT SAFE! *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER AND TACH BEGAN READING HIGH (90MPH, 115MPH - 6000RPMS, 7000RPMS) BEFORE BOTH NEEDLES POINTED STRAIGHT DOWN. IF I TURNED OFF THE CAR, THEY WOULD RESET THEMSELVES TO 55MPH AND 5000RPMS. I WAS ON THE BEGINNING OF A LONG ROAD TRIP WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SO I WAS HOPING I WASN'T GOING TO GET PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE REPAIRED AND THANKFULLY I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM ALSO HAPPENED TO MY PARENTS 2004 TRAILBLAZER. AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE, I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY MY $100 DEDUCTIBLE. THIS DEFINITELY SOUNDS LIKE A GM DEFECT. IF HIS ENDS UP BEING A RECALL, COULD I GET REIMBURSED?? *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND DOES NOT GIVE ACCURATE READINGS OF SPEED (I.E. 70MPH WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT). THIS BEGAN TODAY AND HAS NOT CORRECTED ITSELF. THERE ARE SERIOUS POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PROBLEM AS DRIVERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KNOW THEIR TRUE SPEED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN AVERAGE PRICE OF REPAIR TO BE AROUND $450.00. *TR

SPEEDOMETER PROVIDES FALSE AND INCORRECT SPEEDS. HAPPENS AT NORMAL ROAD SPEED OR WHILE IN PARK. SOMETIMES READS HIGH OR LOW. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT WILL SOMETIMES READ 110 WHEN I AM ONLY GOING 20. I HAVE TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT WILL COST ABOUT 500.00 TO FIX IT. HE SAID HE HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON HIS MODEL. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON IT ON THE INTERNET AND I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AT ALL AND THIS IS VERY BIG PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. PLEASE HELP.... *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILURE: OWNER STATES THAT INSTRUMENT/GAUGE PANEL BEGAN TO FAIL AT OR ABOUT 39,000 MILES WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 38' F DEGREES, THAT SAME YEAR DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS SPEED GAUGE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION FOLLOWED BY ALL OTHER GAUGES(RPM,GAS,TEMP) AT 50,000 MILES, REGARDLESS OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. CURRENTLY THERE IS A TOTAL FAILURE OF ALL GAUGES. *TR

POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS REPLACED. OTHER SUV OWNERS HAVE TOLD ME THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEIR VEHICLE THAT HAD THE SAME PUMP. *TR

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

HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF AT NIGHT. SOMETIMES CARS PULL OVER THINKING I AM A POLICE OFFICER. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM DUE TO BAD GROUND WIRES ON THE LEFT(DRIVER) SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BECOME ERRATIC AND WILL NOT SHOW HOW FAST WE ARE DRIVING, CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF POSTS ON SEVERAL FORUMS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND WITH TIME MAY BECOME UNIVERSAL. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER DOESN'T RECORD THE EXACT SPEED. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 80 MPH. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 TRAILBLAZER. AT 30,0000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WORKED OCCASIONALLY BUT NOW IS TOTALLY NONFUNCTIONING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT AN ITEM COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FREQUENTLY GETS STUCK OR STOPS WORKING, WHILE DRIVING. *TR

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 TO 2 YEARS AGO I NOTICED THAT I HAD ON AND OFF PROBLEMS WITH THE RPM GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE. THE OTHER GAUGES, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, STARTED TO FAIL AND NOW NONE OF THEM WORK AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY WORK DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE COST. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THAT GM HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NOT DONE IT WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE FUEL DISPLAYED A HALF TANK OF GASOLINE; HOWEVER, THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT TIMES THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE BUT HAD NOT RELEASED A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,400.

THE GAUGES ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER DO NOT WORK. I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO FIX, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. NOW MY WARRANTY IS OUT AND THEY AGAIN ARE NOT WORKING. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, OIL GAUGE, AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES DON'T WORK. APPARENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL HAVE REPORTED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH IT WITH CHREVOLET FOOTING THE BILL. I GUESS IT WON'T BE ADDRESSED UNTIL DEATHS OR INJURIES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXTENDED SUV. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CONTINUOUSLY FLASH ON AND OFF SINCE HAVING THE TRUCK ONLY SIX MONTHS. IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO THIS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR AT ALMOST 70,000 MILES. ALSO, MY SPEEDOMETER NOW WORKS ONLY WHEN IT WANTS TO. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE COLD WEATHER, NOW IT IS ALMOST 70 DEGREES AND WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SOUNDS AS IF THIS IF VERY COMMON IN THESE MODELS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND A WAY TO COMPENSATE OWNERS FOR THESE COSTLY REPAIRS. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING. *TR

THE DASHBOARD GAUGES BEGAN DISPLAYING INCORRECT INFORMATION FOLLOWED A DAY LATER BY COMPLETE FAILURE. I KNOW OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ERROR. THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE THE SPEED OF THE CAR. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSE AND COMMON ERROR FOR THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT READING CORRECTLY. I CAN BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT WILL READ I AM DOING 90MPH. I DO BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I DO BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE THE MANF. RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT.*TR

THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND BATTERY CHARGE METER ARE INOPERATIVE, THE NEEDLES POINT DOWN (OFF THE GAUGE). THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH GAUGES ALSO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR APPROX $700, BUT THIS PART IS NOT UNDER ANY KIND OF ORIGINAL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS SAME PART WAS RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER GM MODELS, BUT NOT INCLUDING THE TRAILBLAZER. NOT HAVING A TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER HAS POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES, GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THIS PART IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAUGE CLUSTER. THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED HAVING RANDOM READING @ ABOUT 100,000 MILES. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS: 76K MILES 1. INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONS UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT REGISTER CORRECT SPEED AND WILL MOVE PAST 120 MPH WHEN IN PARK (NEEDLE POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN), SOUNDS LIKE A POPPING OR CRACKLING NOISE FROM INSTRUMENT PANEL AT TIMES. I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS MORE PRONE TO HAPPEN MORE WITH VERY COLD OR VERY HOT TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE BUT NOW ALSO HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS OUTSIDE. ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO GET SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO IS TO START ENGINE AND TURN OFF ENGINE AFTER MINUTE OR SO - THIS PROCESS COULD TAKE STARTING/RE-STARTING 20 TO 30 TIMES TO GET SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO. BAD FOR STARTER AND CONSUMES TOO MUCH GASOLINE TO CONTINUE DOING THIS. 2. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. ALL ELECTRICAL (LIGHTS, RADIO, A/C, ETC.) CUT OFFS AND ENGINE CUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS - SOMETIMES THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES OCCURS WHEN SLOWING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT TIMES I WILL SMELL A BURNING SMELL LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS BURNING. I IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR AND CHECK UNDER THE HOOD BUT CANNOT SEE ANYTHING BURNING HOWEVER I SMELL IT. AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR A FEW MINUTES IT CAN BE RESTARTED AND I DO NOT SMELL THE BURNING SMELL. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH COLLEGE/HIGH SCHOOL CHILDREN (AGES 25, 22, 17) LIVING AT HOME AND I HAVE A 7 MONTH OLD GRANDCHILD AT HOME. I AM ON A VERY LIMITED BUDGET AND DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO REPAIR EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE SAFETY ISSUES. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS ON THE INTERNET. WHEN WILL GM BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MANUFACTURING AND SELLING LEMONS!?! GM NEEDS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND REPAIR THESE LEMONS - THE CONSUMER'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE HERE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING AND THE TAILGATE ON MY '04 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER POPPED OPEN. I WAS IN MORNING TRAFFIC AND IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT NOW I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE? *TR

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

FIRST WHEN I BOUGHT MY CERTIFIED PRE OWNED TRAIL BLAZER THE TACHOMETER WENT OUT AND POINTED STRAIGHT DOWN THEN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER MY WHOLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT COMPLETELY HAY WIRE. THE SPEEDOMETER, TACH, OIL PRESSURE, GAS GAUGE, EVERYTHING NEEDED TO EFFECTIVELY DRIVE HAS GONE WRONG. I CANNOT TELL IF I AM SPEEDING, IF I AM OUT OF FUEL , IF MY ENGINE WILL OVER HEAT AND THIS IS ALL VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WORRY CONSTANTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE FIXED BUT CANNOT AFFORD IT BECAUSE I AM PAYING FOR MY COLLEGE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND GMC/CHEVY SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WE ARE HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE AS SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH OUR 2004 TRAILBLAZER. THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY...PARTICULARLY THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER, BUT ALSO INCLUDE OUR HEADLIGHTS AND RADIO WHICH BOTH OCCASIONALLY FLASHING OUT FOR A SECOND OR SO. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 47,000 MILES. AND SINCE WE ARE FILING THIS COMPLAINT WE MAY AS WELL MENTION HOW OUR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN AT AROUND 48,000 MILES. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK SPEED AND IT READ ZERO. THE TACHOMETER SAID ZERO. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RE-START THE VEHICLE. RE-STARTING IT WORKED THAT TIME BUT NOT THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $500 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH A MALFUNCTIONING DASH. THE RPM GAUGE DOES NOT WORK, SPEEDOMETER BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH ONLY WORKING ONCE IN A WHILE, GAS GAUGE QUITE WORKING LAST WEEK SO I AM JUDGING BY HOW MANY MILES I TRAVEL. THE MILEAGE HAS NOT STOPPED FUNCTIONING YET. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFE MANNER TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE BU IT IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION .I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. CHEVY SHOULD BE HELP ACCOUNTABLE AND RECALL/FIX THIS ISSUE. *TW

SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER NOT WORKING AND HAVE NOT BEEN FOR OVER 1 YR. OTHER GAUGES WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO. WILL COST TOO MUCH TO TAKE TO DEALER TO GET FIXED AND HAVE HEARD THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER VEHICLES SAME YR HAVING SAME ISSUES. THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THESE TO FIX. *TR

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY WITH THE GAUGES ON OUR 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. INITIALLY THE SPEEDOMETER WAS MALFUNCTIONING BUT WE FOUND THAT IF WE STOPPED THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT, IT WOULD RESET ITSELF. OVER TIME, IT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESET AND CURRENTLY READS 120MPH WHILE IDLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE OTHER GAUGES HAVE BEGUN TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL. THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AND THE BATTERY AND OIL TEMP GAUGES WORK ON OCCASION. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A PROBLEM ON CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS FROM 2002-2004, HOWEVER A RECALL ON THE PARTS HAVE ONLY BEEN CALLED ON THE 02 AND 03 MODELS, NOT THE 04. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS OR RECEIVED ANY TICKETS FROM THIS PRODUCT FAILURE, WE HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS AND HAD TO USE ANOTHER DEVICE TO KEEP TRACK OF OUR SPEED. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL FAILURE CAUSING SPEEDOMETER TO NOT WORK CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD- GM WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MIDAS FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED AND THE OIL WAS REPLACED WITH A LIFE X-TEND OIL, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE WHEN SHIFITNG INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BEARING FAILED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE OIL THAT WAS PLACED IN THE TRANSMISSION REVEALED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD PREVIOUS FAILURES. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE. THE X-TEND OIL MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF IT IS PROVEN THAT THE OIL WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 102,000.

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER V8 EXT SPEEDOMETER ACTING FUNNY COMPLETE STOPPED SHOES GOING 30. IT READS FASTER THAN I DRIVE SO I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE STOPPED SPEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH FAST I AM DRIVING. INTERNET HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND SIMILAR ONES LIKE TAHOE HAS BEEN RECALLED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO WORK OUT A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WITH CHEVY, TO NO AVAIL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AS REQUESTED BY CHEVY, THE TEST SHOWED THE CLUSTER IS BAD. OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH CHEVY, I WAS TOLD THEY ARE AWARE OF AN EXISTING PROBLEM WITH THE CLUSTERS, BUT ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A FAULTY CLUSTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 & 2004 CHEVY MODELS. CHEVY ADMITTED THIS TO ME, AND ARE FIXING "SOME" MODELS, BUT THE TRAILBLAZER IS NOT ONE OF THEM. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND! THERE ARE TWO CLASS ACTION SUITS, THAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET, CHEVY IS FIXING THE VEHICLES IN THOSE TWO STATES, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ONES OF US WHO DON'T LIVE IN THOSE STATES? I HAVE NOT MADE THE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE, I BOUGHT A GPS TO KEEP ME WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT. ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER IS APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ALL GAUGES HAVE FAILED. ONE BY ONE, SPEEDOMETER, GAS, OIL, TEMP, TACK. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD ADDRESS. *TR

CLUSTER NOT WORKING IN 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. CHEVY RECALLED CLUSTERS IN OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES BUT NOT TRAILBLAZER. *TR
