2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer Complaint Log

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FAILS TO REGISTER THE ACTUAL READINGS FOR SPEED AND/OR RPMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES EXCLUDING THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS READING INACCURATELY. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT THE SAME SPEED REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST OR SLOW HE WAS DRIVING. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED HER THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WE HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LTZ. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS GOING ALL CRAZY. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON A LOT OF THE VEHICLES. WE AHVE TWO CHILDREN AND HATE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WE DON'T KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ONCE A MONTH AT FIRST AND NOW IT IS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. *TR

ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. FUEL GAUGE ACTS ERRATIC AT OR BELOW QUARTER TANK TO EMPTY. DON'T KNOW HOW MECH FUEL REMAINS IN TANK. *TR

ALL ELECTRONIC GAUGES WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED AT RANDOM TIMES AND VERY FREQUENTLY, LEADING TO THE CLUSTERS' CURRENT STATE, WHICH IS ALL GAUGES ARE NON-OPERATIONAL (DEAD). HAZARDOUS CONDITION CAUSED DUE TO SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. CHEVY REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TWO TIMES WHILE UNDER 36/36 MFG WARRANTY. CHEVY REFUSES TO REPLACE CURRENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SINCE 36/36 HAS PASSED. *TR

THE GAUGE CLUSTER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING OVER TWO YEARS AGO. FROM THE READOUT UPON MY DASHBOARD GAUGES, I HAVE NO IDEA AT WHAT SPEED I'M DRIVING, HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK, WHAT IS THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY FROM MY BATTERY, OR THE ENGINE'S OIL PRESSURE. THE TACHOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER PRM'S. THANKFULLY I USE A TOMTOM GPS TO GAUGE MY SPEED, AND THE ODOMETER DOES FUNCTION, SO I KNOW TO STOP FOR A FUEL REFILL EVERY 250-300 MILES TRAVELED. THIS WILL USUALLY PLACE ME AT BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND EMPTY. *TR *JS

MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION I HAD TO UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE BOTTOM OF MY STEERING TO PUSH THE BUTTON ALSO ALL OF MY INSTRUMENT GAUGE DO NOT WORK INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL GAUGES SO I NEVER KNOW MY TEMPERATURE OR FUEL LEVEL, OIL PRESSURE THEY ALL ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY MY SPEEDOMETER ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. ALSO MY ENGINE IS RUNNY ROUGH AND I HEAR A VIBRATION AND TICKING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS AND I'M GETTING CODE SAYING THERES A LEAK IN THE FUEL EVAP SYSTEM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2003 TRAILBLAZERS. WHY ISN'T CHEVROLET RECALLING THESE PROBLEMS ITS FUSTRATING THEY WANT SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I CANNOT AFFORD

THERMOSTAT HAS FAILED TWICE DURING LONG TRIPS. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RUN HOT OR COLD. I AM ON MY THIRD ONE AND HAVE CONCLUDED IT MUST BE A DESIGN DEFECT. FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL AND THUS STRAND THE DRIVER. *TR

IN JULY 2010 MY TRAILBLAZERS CLUTCH FAN AND THERMOSTAT WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS MODEL THAT WERE ON THE INTERNET. THEN IN OCTOBER MY TACHOMETER STARTED ACTING UP, IT BROKE NOVEMBER 24, 2010. THE SPEEDOMETER BROKE ON DECEMBER 3, 2010. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE CLUTCH FAN GOING OUT AND THE CLUSTER GOING OUT ON THE INTERNET. SOMEONE AT WORK HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENVOY AND IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT AND THEIR CLUTCH FAN GOING OUT. ALL AT FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM FOR NOT WANTING TO REPAIR THESE ISSUES SO THE CONSUMER BEARS THE COSTS OF REPAIR WHICH IS ABOUT 500 FOR THE CLUTCH FAN AND THERMOSTAT AND 400 FOR THE CLUSTER.

AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE VEHICLE BECAME UNDRIVABLE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT. PLANETARY FAILED AS WELL AS OTHER BROKEN PARTS. I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM COTTMAN'S TRANSMISSION FOR $3K. THE TRANSMISSION WAS WARRANTIED FOR 3 YR. IT HAS BEEN 5, AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS AGAIN FAILED. PLANETARY AGAIN BROKEN. VEHICLE NOW HAS 150,000 MI. I THINK IT IS ABSURD THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE BY NHTSA. NO RECALLS, COST ASSISTANCE, OR EVEN AN INVESTIGATION. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, ACTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN LONG AGO. EVEN GM ADMITS PROBLEMS IN SOME OF IT'S BULLETINS. WHY ARE YOU DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS.

FUEL TANK LEAKING AT FILLER NECK. LEAKING GASOLINE AND VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. NOTIFIED GM AFTER GETTING FIXED . ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL AVAILABLE FOR TEXAS. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. VERY THANKFUL IT DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

FILLED TANK, STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK TO LOCAL GM DEALER. FUELTANK LEAKING AT FILLER NECK. WOULD NOT LET ME LEAVE ,TOO DANGEROUS!! REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND TANK, $2000. REPAIR!!! GM WILL NOT COVER BECAUSE IT STATES IT DOES NOT COVER TEXAS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LTZ. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH, THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE 4X4 ACTUATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER FOR THE CONTACT'S EXTENDED WARRANTY ADJUSTOR ADVISED THAT ONLY THE SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID NOT AGREE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO PUT ON THE ROAD WITH ONLY REPLACING THE SENSOR AND NOT THE ACTUAL ACTUATOR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 67,064.

MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND I CAN NO LONGER TELL WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WILL COST ME AROUND $500.00 TO $700.00. MY VEHICLE IS A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 4WD. *TR

FUEL SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. *TR

FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER HAS INTERMITTENTLY WORKED PROPERLY. 90% OF THE TIME IT IS READING A FALSE SPEED. I NEVER KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM TRAVELING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT AND IT HAS STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS IS LEAKING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THIS IS MORE COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES THAN I WOULD OF THOUGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND A PART IS BEING ORDERED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL BE AT NO COST TO ME TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. I UNDERSTAND IT CAN FALL UNDER A SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT OR TSB# 05012. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS MAKING SURE THIS IS FIXED SO THAT A LEAK WILL NOT PUT ANY FAMILIES AT RISK. *TR

SIDE MIRRORS CONTINUE TO ADJUST WHEN NOT TOLD TO. EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS ARE MOVING ERRATICALLY CAUSING SEVERE INCONVENIENCE AND BASICALLY MAKING THE MIRRORS UNUSABLE UNLESS I WANT TO ADJUST THEM EVERY TIME I ENTER THE CAR. *TR

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. NO INDICATION THAT DOOR WAS OPENED. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT (ODI 10335683) ABOUT THE PASSENGER DOOR THAT I REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY. THIS WAS THE EXACT ISSUE FOR RECALL 05007. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN SPRING 2006. OBVIOUSLY G.M.S "FIX" IS NOT WORKING. LUCKILY THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKING UP ON OCCASIONS DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, BUT NOW IT IS LOCKED UP ALL TOGETHER. THE SEAT BELT IS INOPERABLE, MY FAMILY ALWAYS WEARS A SEATBELT, PLUS IT IS THE LAW! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH COUNTLESS OTHER 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS! *TR

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS UP AND YOU ARE SOMETIMES UNABLE TO USE IT. THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. AT FIRST YOU COULD KEEP MOVING IT BACK AND FORTH AND IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY COME LOOSE BUT AS TIME GOES BY, IT IS GETTING HARDER TO GET THE SEAT BELT TO COME LOOSE. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THAT HAS A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER. ALTHOUGH GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON OTHER TRUCKS AND SUVS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THE TRAILBLAZER HAS NOT BEEN MADE A PART OF THIS RECALL. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRAILBLAZERS, SO IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 64K MILES AT THE CURRENT TIME, WHICH WOULD FALL WITHIN THE REALM OF WARRANTY REPAIR FOR THE OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES. I AM AN AVID CHEVY OWNER, BUT I FEEL THAT GM HAS FALLEN DOWN ON ADDRESSING THIS CONCERN WITH TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. *TR

SAFETY PROBLEM WITH SEAL WHERE THE FILLER NECK MEETS GAS TANK. THIS SEAL CRACKS. GAS SPILLS OUT THIS SEAL WHEN FUELING AND EMITS A STRONG GAS ODOR WHEN ENGINE IS ON OR OFF, MORE SO WHEN CAR IS RUNNING. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM BUT ONLY EXT MODELS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE REPLACEMENT BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO EXT MODELS. SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS ARE USED ON NON EXT MODELS.
