It was raining went to turn on the back wiper blade and all I heard was a pop and the fuse blew, a few miles down the road engine still ran, but check engine light, airbag light, battery light, most of the instrument panel was out, the radio turned off, windows would not open and doors automatically unlocked, got to a safe spot to stop turned the blazer off let it set turned it back on, check engine light still on all the others went out and the windows opened when I hit the button. When one fuse cost 8.00 and blew as soon as I put it in, I can't afford to fix all this, and I am afraid to drive it on the expressway which is how I get to work, just in case of fire or additional problems.

Started up truck to warm up after about 3 minutes heard bang and both front airbags had deployed for no reason. Prior to this had issue with intermittent dash board lights (battery, speed odometer, seatbelt and airbag lights) being on. Gm refuses to cover because I did not take to "dealer". I took it to my local mechanic instead who could find no issue other than corroded grounds. Currently it is being repaired by my insurance company.

I own a 2004 chevy trailblazer which started giving me problems almost as soon as the warranty was over. Most of the gauges (speedometer, tachometer, battery indicator, etc...) in the instrument panel are not functioning or function only sporadically and erratically. Also the air bag light stays on continuously. I have been reading online that this is a fairly common problem on this vehicle and that gm even sued (and won) the instrument panel manufacturer. However no recall has been issued on trailblazers, meanwhile other gm vehicles (I.e. Chevy silverado) that uses the same instrument panel and thereby has the same problems have been recalled. General motors should not be allowed to exhibit this kind of behavior and a recall should be issued to every vehicle they built which used this faulty and failure prone instrument panel. Sincerely, outraged trailblazer owner.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated that the instrument panel has not worked since she purchased the vehicle brand new in january of 2004. The warning indicators are constantly illuminated. She took the vehicle to the dealer several times while it was under warranty, but they could not locate the failure. Due to the failure, she does not know how fast she is driving, how much fuel is in the vehicle, and cannot read the odometer. Recently, the headlights failed and she took the vehicle back to the dealer. The dealer charged $91 to diagnose the failure, which produced a failure code at the headlight low beam relay cluster switch. The dealer replaced the low beam relay switch and ignition switch, but the failure persisted. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty, the dealer has finally located a diagnostic code for the instrument panel failure. The dealer stated that the instrument panel cluster failed and would cost $600 to repair. The failure mileage was 9,000 and current mileage was 68,000.
