Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Accelerating on it's own and idling
Gear shift locked into the parked position while vehicle still moving and in drive. Brake pedal also locked.my autistic son was in the vehicle with me. Gm knows about this issue as far back as 2002 . Do they care about the impact ? I am the 3rd owner ,bought this vehicle because of safety rating and that it has less than 92000 miles on it. I have owned it for 5 years.
The speedometer and all other gauges except the gas gauge have stopped working.
Speedometer and tachometer. Both have not worked properly for a few months now... Un safe will be getting it fix unfortunately its going to cost alot of money but will save lives...I have heard many complaints about this same issue did some research and there were quiet alot of ppl w same problems.. Something needs to be done to prevent any and all safety issues.
I have 2004 trailblazer in jan my tach and speedometer have not worked properly ...I cannot afford the 500 dollar plus fix on this vehicle. I have read many complaints in regards to the same situation. Apparently no one has taken care of this problem. Ifrom my understanding there have been recalls on most other vehicles with the same problem, I do not understand why there isn't one for the trailblazer.please advise what to do.
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.
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.
While driving the vehicle it began to smoke. The car wouldn't accelerate so I stopped the car shut it off, popped the hood, and it was engulfed in flames. I grabbed my 2 children out of the car and called 9-1-1 the car was a total loss!
Speedometer gets stuck at random places. Impossible to know how fast you are going. All other controls have also gone out too. The oil pressure gauge was the first to stop working and the rest have gone out about a month or 2 apart.
