I CAN START MY VEHICLE AND THE GAUGES STARTED STICKING. I AM CONSTANTLY BEING SHOCKED BY THE DRIVER DOOR. MY GAUGES NO LONGER WORK AT ALL AND HAVE COMPLETELY WENT HAYWIRE. I HAVE NO DASH LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE, HOW FAST I AM GOING. MY CRUISE CONTROL EITHER AT TIMES INCREASES MY SPEED OR DOES NOT HOLD THE SPEED. I HAVE TO USE A GPS DEVICE TO KNOW APPROXIMATE SPEED. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS TONS OF ISSUES.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED GOING BAD IN 2006 AND EVERY YEAR ANOTHER GAUGE IS FAULTY - FIRST IT WAS THE GAS GAUGE, NEXT THE OIL, ETC AND 4 YEARS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $800 TO FIX IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AT THE TIME AND THIS IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT FOR YEARS AND EVEN CALLED GM - NO HELP AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR THIS. I WOULD APPRECIATE HELP WITH THIS AND FEEL THAT GM HAS KNOWN THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. I DRIVE A LOT OF KIDS IN MY CAR AND I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

VEHICLE GOES INTO SHUTDOWN MODE WITH AN UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATOR. MOTOR STILL RUNS BUT NO ACCELERATION.

THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO BE ERRATIC AND WOULD NOT SHOW THE CORRECT SPEED. I COULD BE TRAVELING 40 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD SHOW 10 MPH. THEN IT WOULD JUMP TO 110 MPH, THEN ZERO. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD A NEW CLUSTER BOARD WAS NEEDED. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $600-$700. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT HIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT CHEV. HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, SUCH AS SUBURBAN, SILVERADO AND YUKON, BUT HAS NOT RECALLED THE TRAILBLAZER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. CHEVY MUST BE AWARE THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR TRAILBLAZER OWNERS THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OF THE CLUSTER BOARD ON THE TRAILBLAZER.

I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS IN REGARDS OF MY VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING, MY SPEEDOMETER IS READING OFF WRONG NUMBERS. FOR EXAMPLE, I CAN BE DRIVING 60MPH, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING AT 80MPH. IT IS A REAL CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE KNOW IDEA HOW FAST I'M DRIVING. NOW THAT A LOT OF CITIES HAVE PHOTO-ENFORCED CAMERAS TO RECORD HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING, I HAVE TO GUESS HOW FAST I'M GOING AND HOPE THAT I DON'T RECEIVE A TICKET IN THE MAIL. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS TOPIC. UNFORTUNATELY, MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I HOPE GM SEES THIS AND CONSIDER A RECALL

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 65MPH) WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET, WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY RESPONDED LIKE I HAD SLAMMED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR. MY SPEED CLIMBED RAPIDLY, BUT I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO DROP THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL (THE TACHOMETER CONTINUED TO BE AT ITS MAXIMUM LEVEL AND THE ENGINE STILL WHINED HIGH) AND STEER TO SAFETY, ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC, TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. WHEN I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN, THIS ISSUE WAS NO LONGER PRESENT.
