#43 of 92 Re: Trailblazer Speedometer Issues [kiya2jordyn] by rk9404 Aug 19, 2008 (4:45 pm)
Replying to: kiya2jordyn (Jan 30, 2008 6:42 pm) 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. Replies to this message: dalamak (Feb 09, 2009 6:55 pm)

#45 of 92 Just got Screwed by work4docs Oct 15, 2008 (11:16 am)
No longer a proud owner of a 2004 TB and a 2005 Saturn ION (wife)   I had this problem (speedometer crazy and then fuel gauge etc...) on my 04 TrailBlazer back in Jan-Feb 2008. Finally I decided to google the problem and I came to this forum. I called the 800 number and spoke with Derek who was very nice and professional. He had me take my SUV to the dealership who confirmed that the Instrument Panel was bad and would need to be replaced. Derek escalated my call to Brittney who called me today to tell me that GM would not assist me with the repair as my vehicle was a Trailblazer and NOT a Tahoe which was covered. Geee Whiz that's nice... since I bought the 30,000.00 vehicle and not the 40,000.00 vehicle I get screwed!!!   I have to get my car later but I will NOT purchase another GM vehicle.

#47 of 92 speedometer stuck by hvd10215 Nov 28, 2008 (8:56 pm)
My TB 2004 speedometer just stopped moving this afternoon. It's only has 51,000 miles. I found this forum and now know it is a common problem with GM vehicles! It's so sad that our own American car companies cannot produce a better product than Japanese counterparts. Just watch three CEOs testified in front of congress make me sick of them. Why bail them out while we have to pay for bad products they produced.

Replying to: hvd10215 (Nov 28, 2008 8:56 pm) EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION!!!!! You need to write a letter to the GM complaints department. I just did this and they are reimbursing me $300 out of the $600 it cost to repair the instrument cluster on my 2005 Trailblazer. Write the letter!

Replying to: hvd10215 (Nov 28, 2008 8:56 pm) customer loyalty to one dealer does pay off. I called my dealer I buy all my cars from. I was horrified what I had read here. My car was out of warranty for time not mileage. He said he would call me back. 10 minutes latter I got a call and he told me he would take care of the whole thing and not to worry. That may be why I am loyal to one dealer. It pays. I trust my dealer on price and value and advice. He is the professional in the car business not me. Oh it is a very small town in the middle of no where. My part will be in next week. 30 minutes to change the cluster.

#51 of 92 2003 Avalanche 110,000 Getting Fixed by eltonb Dec 30, 2008 (5:54 am)
I called GM at 800 222-1020 and complained about my speedometer. I have a 2003 Avalanche with 111,000 miles. He said it had too many miles. I said "yeah, but I read online that GM is fixing many of them that are out of the service agreement anyway and I started experiencing the problem before 70,000 miles but just found out that GM was repairing them" he said OK. He asked what dealer I used, he put me on hold and called the dealer and scheduled an appointment for me. He said they will run diagnostics on the truck to make sure the speedo wasn't broken from misuse and if its determined that the speedo failed on its own they will pay for a new cluster AND the diagnostic and labor fee.   My appointment for the repair is Monday, January 5, 2009. If I am successful in getting this cluster repaired for free, I will post my GM claim number, so that others can use my claim number in defense of having theirs replaced for free as well.   When you call, have your VIN number, and the name and number of a dealer that you prefer.

#52 of 92 Trailblazer Speedomoter Recall Hope!!! by xx2slik4uxx Jan 02, 2009 (8:50 pm)
Hello everyone-- I like many of you have a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer. My speedomoter also has started acting up. Sometimes 70 acts as 0 and sometimes it is even 120. I brought it to the dealership and it was diagnosed as the speedomoter cluster. They told me that this is a very frequent problem!! They also advised me to contact GM and to contact my local Better Business Bureau. I did this and of course GM told me i was out of my warranty and they would not pay to fix this problem. What does it have to do with my warranty because they put in a defective part!! They have recalled this exact problem on vehicles simular to the Trailblazer though (which i am assuming is the same parts used). I am still working with the Better Business Bureau though to try to get this recalled. I would like to suggest everyone else that is having this problem to please go online and write their Better Business Bureau. They more complaints they get the more likely they are to do something. So please please please report this problem!! Thank you everyone who will take the time to do this. Also if you do get it fixed save your receipt and they will reimburess you if it does become a recall. And you can also still report it even if you have had it fixed.
