| I was wondering how come their hasn't been a recall for the chevy trailblazer ext for the throttle body i see that they have recalls on other chevy cars with the same issue this is a very dangerous issue as when this goes you have a reduce engine light that comes on which i didn't know what that meant until my car wasn't going no more than 20 mph this is very dangerous to be on the road like i was and can't speed up or better yet trying to turn when you don't have the power to do so also i see that there were also alot of issues with the speedometer which also i had that problem has too pay too muc money to get this fixed as how they would say their are manufacter parts which definetly hurts your pockets if they know that they have these issues thye really need to retify because both of these issues causes some serious problems on the road i know there are wear and tear on cars / trucks but if you have too many people having the same problems i think they should so something to resolve these issues | |||

| This vehicle had been been parked in the driveway from 7:45 pm, (august 10, 2011). i was awakened at approx. 3:55 am on 8-10-2011 by hearing a muffled boom. at 4:00 am (aug. 11, 2011) i heard a loud bang type noise. i immediately got up and went to investigate. i went outside and found my 2004 trailblazer (ext) on fire from the engine bay and just beginning to flame inside the vehicle's passenger compartment at the dashboard..it only took minutes before the vehicle was fully involved. the fire began in the engine bay. the fire marshall report is still pending and i was informed it would take 6 to 8 weeks before it was available. approx. two to three months prior, i took the vehicle to a repair garage to fix the low beam headlights (they had failed and changing the bulbs was no help. it turned out that it was a failed relay, which was replaced. it was a couple of weeks later that i had to replace the vehicle's battery as it had gone dead and would not take a charge. the old battery was about three years old. there were no other battery/headlight issues after these repairs. no tools or other parts were dropped into the engine bay, or left in the bay. i was an aircraft mechanic and old habits of keeping rack of my tools never die and all tools used were accounted for. the roads were dry where it was driven there was no rain at the house all night. i reported this to chevrolet that day. as a result of the fire, the eaves of the house over the garage caught fire, my wife, son and myself had minor carbon monoxide poisoning, my work truck was damaged by the heat of the fire, so i cannot work (self employed) until i get a replacement (no rental company will let me use a truck to work from as i need to carry large quantities of chlorine in my pressure cleaning business. there have been no other problems of this kind before with this vehicle | |||

| Not sure what to file this under, so i put it under unknown and other. about 4 months ago my service engine soon light came on. it stayed on for a few days then went off, a few days later it was back on, then a few days later went off, then it came on for a longer period of time and do the same thing, eventually it stayed on. took it to the chevy dealership where i bought it and they said the gas tank had a crack in it and needed to be replaced. said it was probably from the gas nozzle hitting the tank when filling it up. don't see how that is possible, when it is only me or my husband filling it up & how hard would you have to hit it for it to crack? had it replaced the next month. now the service engine soon light is doing the same thing. haven't taken it back in yet. | |||

| Speedometer was reading 90mph on a trip and cars were passing me, when i stopped the speedometer read 35mph standing still. it did this for about 3 days, then went back to normal. the other day coming home from a trip it seemed like it was acting up again, but my husband was driving, he thought it was acting up too. it is back to normal, haven't done anything about it. | |||
