Chevrolet Trailblazer Electrical System Safety Report | Jan 01, 2008
Reported on Jan 01, 2008
| I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHICH STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS ALMOST AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY WAS OVER. MOST OF THE GAUGES (SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, BATTERY INDICATOR, ETC...) IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE NOT FUNCTIONING OR FUNCTION ONLY SPORADICALLY AND ERRATICALLY. ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT GM EVEN SUED (AND WON) THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MANUFACTURER. HOWEVER NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON TRAILBLAZERS, MEANWHILE OTHER GM VEHICLES (I.E. CHEVY SILVERADO) THAT USES THE SAME INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THEREBY HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO EXHIBIT THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO EVERY VEHICLE THEY BUILT WHICH USED THIS FAULTY AND FAILURE PRONE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SINCERELY, OUTRAGED TRAILBLAZER OWNER. *TR | |
