What owners say
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet trailblazer. While driving all of the lights and functions on the instrument panel stopped working. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired.

Updated 1/19/2010 *cn the consumer stated the speedometer, tachometer and temperature gauge stopped working. Updated 03/31/11
Gauges and speedometer on 2003 trailblazer quit working. Problem eventually caused problems to the whole electrical system.. Headlights went out, all dash lights quit working and electric power to engine eventually shutdown while driving. Had to have it towed to dealer. If you look on the internet this is a very common and dangerous problem for trailblazers, but no recall?
While driving from work I stopped at a red light and the trailblazers RPM dropped down and the truck shut off in traffic. But all the lights were on. I had to restart the truck and it crank up. Three weeks later I was pulling up to a gas station and pressed on the brakes to stop and the truck cut off (same experience). Yesterday I was driving in 5 o'clock traffic and pressed on the brakes and it shut off again.
While driving 55 MPH, the vehicle shut down. The dealer stated that the ignition switch malfunctioned. *ak all of the lights on the dash board blinked before the consumer even realized that the vehicle had no power. *sc
Lost total electrical power/stalled while idling at first, then when going about 35 MPH. Dealer "reset" computer according to a service bulletin which says this is a known problem. Service bulletin says it is occurs when module on powertrain checks evap system, there is some type of a "glitch" which shuts everything down. According to gm, there is no fix yet for the problem. My concern is driving on the highway, this could happen and cause crash because there is no control of vehicle. If it happens during night, other drivers will not see me because all lights go out, power steering and power brakes are lost. Resetting the computer did not help as it happened within 2 days again. Please help asap because I'm afraid to drive this vehicle!
