DID SOME INTEMET RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT GM HAD A TSB ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN #05012), BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2002 EXT MODELS. SINCE THIS IS, IN REALITY, A FIRE SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL GM SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF AGE OR MILAGE. UPDATED 01/20/11 *BF

THEY TRIED A SILICON ON THE LEAK WHICH DID NOT WORK SO THEY SAY THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOTICED THAT OTHERS WHERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD IN ANY WAY COVER THE REPAIR OF AN KNOWN ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT HAS OVER A 100,000 MILES THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING!

NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING UP AND SHOWING I AM GOING 85 WHEN I AM GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR, OR SHOWING 30 WHEN I AM COMPLETELY STOPPED. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ON OTHER POSTS ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I AM WONDERING WHY YOU HAVE NOT RECOMMENDED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, I PERSONALLY LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF CHEVROLET HAD TO STAND BEHIND THIS, JUST AS WE STOOD BEHIND THEM WITH A BAILOUT! *TR

IN 2010 I HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION STARTER SWITCH BECAUSE MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT START. THIS COST 300.00 PLUS THE TOW CHARGE. ON MAY 7TH. 2015 I HAD TO HAVE THE SAME SWITCH REPLACED AGAIN, NOW NOT TWO WEEKS LATER THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY TRAILBLAZER, AND I COULD CONTACT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND SEE IF THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO. I KNOW WHAT THAT INFORMATION WILL BE, BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL REPAIR IT, AND THAT WILL COST ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. THANKS TO GENERAL MOTORS.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT .AND WILL CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS UNTIL ALL OF THE CONSUMERS ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM IS NOT WILLING TO HOLD THEIRSELFS LIABLE FOR THESE ISSUES ,BUT PEOPLE SPEND PRETTY PENNIES OUT OF POCKET TO PURCHASE VEHICLES FROM THESE MANUFACTURERS TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AFTER JUST A SHORT WHILE OF OWNING THESE . I HAVE RESEARCHED ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE , AND I AM HAVING ALL THE ABOVE LISTED ISSUES , AND DO NOT WISH TO SPEND LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO PAY FOR THESE COST CONSIDERING I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE . I JUST SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTIVE ABOUT THESE COMPLAINTS ,AND HAVE SET UP AN APPOINMENT TO PAY A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS , BUT AM HOPING THAT I CAN GET CLOSURE ON THESE ISSUES WITHOUT PAYING BIG EXPENSES. I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE WILL FOLLOW SUIT AND KEEP INPUTTING YOUR COMPLAINTS UNTIL THEY ARE RESOLVED. MY VEHICLE ISSUES ARE THE FAN CLUTCH NEEDS REPLACED, MY GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED ALREADY,JUST REPLACED MY SERPINTINE BELT THIS MORNING, MY EXTERIOR LIGHTS (BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL) HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES OVER TWO MONTHS, AND ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON , SOMETHING DOESNT SEEM RIGHT UNDERNEATH THIS VEHICLE EITHER. I JUST FEEL LIKE I AM PAYING FOR A PEICE OF JUNK ON TOP OF PAYING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING. OH YEA THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF BODY WORK DONE AS WELL THANKS TO MOTHER NATURE. I JUST HOPE THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THIS RESPONSIBILTY OF THEIRS ,NOT OURS. *TR

A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD NO GO OUT ON A CAR, NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES AND IF IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INSTANCE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.
