Chevrolet Trailblazer Electrical System Instrument Panel Safety Report | Jan 29, 2011
Reported on Jan 29, 2011
| DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH AND THEN YOU SLOW DOWN. THE SPEEDOMETER STAYS AT 50 MPH THEN WHEN YOU SPEED UP IT GOES UP ACCORDINGLY. WHEN YOU STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS YOU ARE STILL GOING 30 MPH. THEN YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT TO TRY AND RESET IT. DOING THIS ONLY TAKES 8 MPH OFF SO IT TAKES A WHILE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE IN THE COLD WEATHER THAN IN WARM WEATHER. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST/ SLOW YOU ARE TRULY GOING. AND WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER DOES DECLINE WITH YOUR SPEED IT IS VERY JERKY AND STICKS. *TR | |
