| I am having multiple instrument cluster problems on my 2004 chevy trailblazer. they have done recalls on every type of chevy truck but the trailblazer. why not the trailblazer as well? i have been reading forums after forums and complaints about the same thing and gm refuses to do anything about it. this needs fixed otherwise there may be fatal accidents by engines blowing up from the oil psi gauge not working properly and so on. | |||

| We currently own three chevrolet trailblazers - 2004, 2005, 2006. on each on the three trailblazers, the dashboard instruments have failed, including the speedometer, oil pressure gage, fuel gage, and engine rpm instrument. the driver no longer has the ability to verify how fast the vehicle is traveling, or potential problems with the engine, or the remaing fuel in the gas tank. in taking the vehicles to the dealer, they insist that it will be a significant repair requiring diagnosis and removel of the entire dashboard cluster and estimate the costs to be well over $1500 for the repair. since the same problem has occurred on all three of our currently owned trailblazers, this suggests a manufacturers defect with the entire dashboard cluster. | |||

| 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. | |||

| I am in the process of having to replace the head unit for my stereo due to malfunctions, my driver side view mirror due to constant shaking, a seal in the window that was coming out, driver side door panel due to the plastic bowing up. occasionally the rear windshield wiper does not work, as well as the driver's seatbelt fails to release allowing me to put my seatbelt on. excess wind noise on the driverside possibly due to the windshield not being sealed properly.*ak | |||
