Thanks for listening to my rant!
a new battery, because they told me mine
was dead after trying to start it. I notice that
after I leave the dealership the gear
light and odometer light now don't work.
They say instrument cluster & they need
$400 more to fix it as this are
in no way related although it appears
to have happened at the dealership. Any
way these are related? or not?

things! Thank goodness I have a great dealership here in Phoenix (Midway) who fixed it right the first time and was reasonable too.
My parents have been GM / Chevy people ever since I can remember. I think their first was a 1962 Impala Station Wagon. Anyway, I was with them when they purchased their Trailblazer. What a piece of S*#T it is! All the same issues as everyone else has been stating. Stalling at lights and pulling into and out of the driveway and intermittent rough idle and high rapid idle for no reason at at 32,000 miles. 40,000 miles brought about incorrect inside/outside temperature readings and inability use climate control which was supposedly unrepairable. Seatbelts that don't release and just keep getting tighter and tighter ever since purchase and they can't seem to repair it or didn't want to. Let's see, at 67,000 miles had to spend $2,800 to replace the air conditioner! Numerous engine problems. Rear Window motor went at 70,000 miles. Transmisison shift linkage broke stranding me in the middle of know where unable to change gears from reverse to drive or even put in park at about 76,000 miles. Windshield wiper motor on slow or intermittent (didn't even bother spending more money to get that fixed). Passenger seat stopped working at 81,000 miles.
I had an accident with my 1997 Jaguar XJS (That plus my 1995 Jaguar Vanden Plas and 1997 Jaguar XJS were possibly the BEST cars I have ever owned apart from my Mercedes')
Anyway, my rental car for the month (yep it was a BAD accident) was a Ford Edge! For any of you looking to purchase a new SUV or Crossover, the Ford Edge IS the vehicle to buy! WOW! Has Ford far surpassed GM!!!! The ride was amazing. The fit and finish were beautiful! The electronics were far ahead of anything else out there! Voice activated everything and the vehicle drove like, well it was AWESOME! NO MORE GM FOR THIS FAMILY! MY PARENT NEXT VEHICLE (as soon as we can give away this piece of crap) IS THE FORD EDGE!
As for me, I just gave away my 1997 Jag XJS with 188,000 (still in incredible condition) as I did with my 1988 Mercedes 350SD (still in incredible condition). They still run and drive flawlessly! Yes, I guess I am a Mercedes owner for ever and ever. My 2006 Mercedes CLK has 112,000 miles on it and the only repair so far has been one electronic auto-open car door handle and the car still looks new and doesn't have a squeak, rattle or bump! It pays to buy quality!
Ok, my rant is finished. IF you're going to buy American, the ONLY way to go is FORD. IF you're going to buy foreign, well I'll let you research for yourself! HAVE FUN, BE CAREFUL AND USE EDMUNDS!
Gas gauge stopped at 1/2 full on my 05 Trailblazer (117,000 miles), fixed this with 1/2 price warranty sent by Chevrolet, now speed odometer goes to 110 mph and stops, headlight and brake lights constantly
replaced, and Now when its cut off and key is out and it is locked park lights mysteriously come on by themselves and next morning--battery is dead--changed air filter---check engine light comes on--no codes shows--put in a different air filter (same brand that was in it before I changed it) reset check engine light was off for two days back on--still no codes show up
My next resort is to change the instrument cluster that all the post are about--I have seen the check engine light on and have put more money in this vehicle than all the 5 other Pontiacs I have owned together--Really!!! How many does it take to get a recall?
2004 Trailblazer LT instrument cluster issues. See many complaints about this. GM should recall and repair at no charge. Their Customer Service SUCKS! They just don't care!
I have Chevrolet TrailBlazer LS 2008 having 65000 miles
.
I am facing problem of dropping of temperature gauge while driving. It comes automatically after some hours during driving. One of the mechanic has replaced temperature sensor but problem still persists. Moreover, once temperature needle goes down to zero during driving, Airconditioning COOLING system also stops working during that period. Please help me.
2003 Trailblazer nightmare! My daughter's truck is not running currently. Many of the problems that her truck has are already listed here. When calling customer service Monday and waiting for one half hour the phone disconnected after giving her name and the last 8 digits of the VIN. Would one of the customer service reps please list the email contact info so that an email can be sent.
Thank you.
