I never received a call back. I had to call back again, go through everything again only to be told that they don't recognize automotive forums as valid areas of comlaint. I asked to speak to the manager of the managers  and they told me that if I wanted to take the complaint further, then I needed to write a letter.

I had the same problem with my 04 TB. I called and got nowhere with GM. So I had the problem fixed and I was out 451 dollars. I then ran into a lawyer friend of mine and this topic came up and he told me to write a letter to GM. That letters are taken more seriously than calling. Well, I did just that and mailed it. In three days, I received a call back from GM. I provided more information to them and was told I would get a call back in 24 hours. To my surprise...I got that call back and that gentleman wanted more information that I had to mail to him. I mailed out a copy of my title and registration, proof of paying for the repair and the original repair receipt. I got all that mailed out the following day and three days later I received a call from the same person telling me that I will be getting 50% of my total cost back. The check went out yesterday.
WRITE THE LETTER!!! 225 dollars is now bonus money to me since the 451 is long gone.

I dont remember the exact address. I just used the main Detroit address that I found on the internet. I then wrote on the bottom of the envelope..."Attn Warrenty"
Good luck!!!

I called GM from the number listed on this post and spoke to a girl at GM. She was awesome. They said they couldn't help me with the total repair, but she said talk to the dealer I bought it from. I did this and they took care of the entire repair NO Charge!!!! They said that they could get GM to pay them back for some or all of the repair. The representative from GM said she would call me back for a follow up and make sure the care got repaired. She followed up at the exact time she said, actually she called me 5 times over 2 weeks to check on the repair and how it was doing!!!! I have been looking at a new cross over to purchase and I was going to buy either a NIssan or Hyundai. After this great service I went and bought a new SAturn Outlook on friday. I love the outlook already!!
Call the number!!!

Another TB....

My wife has an 02 TrailBlazer. The gauge cluster went bad about a year ago. The tach stopped working and it made a weird scratching noise kinda like plastic gears slipping. It WAS still in warrenty so the dealership replaced it.
Now it's gone out again right after the warrenty. Same with the OD but the tach started getting stuck then would start from it's stuck position until until it's now stuck pointing straight down.
Just to make life more fun, now the A/C controller won't work at setting 5. 1-4 work fine but 5 is the same as off. Another dead piece of plastic.
Makes me glad I drive a Honda.

My speedometer started going crazy about 2 weeks ago. I thought it was just my car, but today my brain kept telling me to check the web and I did!! I was so excited to know that it was not just my problem, however, I was highly disappointed with the response I recieved from Chevrolet. I contacted them today and basically all I got was "This is not currently being recalled, sorry". This is highly unacceptable and should be addressed because obviously this is a problem with Trailblazers all over. Mine is a 2004. I'm soooooooo angry right now. I say let anyone and everyone know to call in and complain. Where is the customer satisfaction???

I am (was) the proud owner of a 2004 Trailblazer LT. Speedometer went out on my way to Tiajuana and now chevy is making me pay 100 pesos to just get a "diagnosis".
After reading some of these other comments, i think it has somthing to do with using cruise control b/c thats when my speedomter flipped out on me too.
If you are experiencing this problem too, file a complaint, ya never know, maybe that smelly bamboozler, Mrs. GM, will do something to take care of her customers.
Signed,
I feel like Chuck Norris b/c my car says im going 120mph ALL THE TIME.

I have an 04 Trailblazer LT with all of the problems that you have listed. My speedometer went right around 41,000 miles, then the oil gauge at 46,000, finally the gas gauge at 66000. My Chevy dealer told me this past May that they are replacing them free of charge up to 65,000 miles. Mine went at 41,000, but the recall didn't come out until it was too late! I drive my gas off the miles that I go and try to guess my speed. I have tried calling to no avail and the dealers are pretty much saying sorry about your luck. It is infuriating. Then around 50,000 the Service Engine light came on, which was the infamous O2 sensor. My parents have a 05 Silverado and got the Class Action Lawsuit letter which covers just about every Chevy product EXCEPT the Trailblazer. I can't even trade the thing in because it is worth pennies. I cannot wait to finish paying it off and go buy a new Nissan. I will never buy another GM product.
