2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer equipment problems

“THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THE TACHOMETER DOESN'T REGISTER, NOR DOES THE BATTERY GAUGE AND UNCERTAIN IF THE READING ON THE OIL GAUGE IS ACCURATE. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT OPERABLE, THE NEEDLE IS EITHER PASS E(EMPTY) OR PASS F (FULL), I'M CONSTANTLY RE-FUELING FOR FEAR OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. WHEN FIRST STARTING THE ENGINE, THE SPEED INDICATOR MIGHT REGISTER CORRECTLY, BUT THEN IT FALLS BELOW 0 MPH WHILE TRAVELING SPEEDS OF 35 TO 55 MPH AND OTHER TIMES IT MAY INDICATE SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 100 MPH. PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER FIRST STARTED IN JUNE 2012 , I USED A GPS TO KEEP TRACK OF TRAVELING SPEED. AFTERWARDS, THE OTHER GAUGES STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED OR REPLACED.VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES, AS I OCCASIONALLY TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN TO APPOINTMENTS. HAS CHEVROLET MADE ANY AMENDMENTS TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS? ASSISTANCE NEEDED PLEASE. *TR”

“FAILURE OF THE GAUGE CLUSTER ON A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER CURRENTLY WITH 59,300 MILES. ABOUT JUNE 2009 THE TACH CONTINUALLY READ INCORRECTLY. DEALER TRIED TO MISLEAD ME TO BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AT A COST OF APPROX. $100 I TOLD THEM ITS BROKE WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS. I HAD READ ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON -LINE AT EDMUNDS,COM.,MY SUV HAD 41,000 TO 42,000 MILES ON IT. IN JULY 2010 MY GAS GAUGE STARTED TO OCCASIONALLY MALFUNCTION, NOW JAN. 2011 IT IS INCORRECT. IN NOV. 2010 MY CHARGING GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. I ALSO HAVE SINCE READ ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER SIMILAR YEAR GM TRUCKS ANS SUV AND THEY HAVE RECALLS ON THEM. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME FOR THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE TO READ INCORRECTLY. PLEASE HELP, THESE MALFUNCTIONS ARE NOT SAFE. *LN”

“1. NORMAL DRIVING, 2. THE CD PLAYER WILL NOT EJECT THE CD, 3. ATTEMPTED TO GET IT OUT AND THEN RESEARCHED FOR HOW TO'S AND FOUND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX WITHOUT GETTING A NEW STEREO. *TR”

“ALL OF MY GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND THEN RANDOMLY TURN BACK ON. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AROUND WITH NO SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, OLIL, BATTERY, TACHOMETER OR ODOMETER ON. THEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL TURN ON. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $500 IF NOT MORE TO HAVE THEM TAKE APART MY DASH AND LOOK AND THEN POSSIBLY SEND IT OUT TO SEEIF IT CAN BE FI.XED THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE I HAVE FOUND ONLINE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.”

“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 WITH ABOUT 79000 MILES ON IT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED BEING INCORRECT ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD AMONG TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. THE GAUGES STICK. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED IT WAS JUST THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE RPM GAUGE, BUT NOW ITS THE MENTIONED GAUGES PLUS THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE HAD A TRAFFIC STOP AND WAS GIVEN A WARNING FOR DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL IN PLACE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AS A PROBLEM BY A LOT OF OWNERS AND THE COST IS AROUND $500. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY NOT AN OWNER INITIATED PROBLEM BUT A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.”
