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. *TR

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. *JS

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE CLUSTER IS GOING BAD . FINDING OUT THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM . I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CHEVY AVALANCHE AND IT WAS RECALLED . I THINK THAT THIS A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING . I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. BECAUSE THE GAUGES GO OUT THE ON AND WHILE DRIVING. IT COULD HURT A YOUNG DRIVER THAT DOESN'T WHAT TO DO. GM KNOWS THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT . IT THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY DID A RECALL ON WITH THE TRUCKS. SO I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM. SO COULD YOU PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT BAD OVER THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU PLEASE HELP! *TR

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. *TR

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
