Oct 10,2009 58500 mile on trailblazer. Driving from work pass a police running 110 MPH. I was only going about 50 MPH. Then the tach started messing up too. Still ongoing problem. Can gm have a recall to fix all these complaints. They have fix other model doing the same thing.
The tachometer needle points straight down and does not respond to engine speed. According to information online, the problem will progress to the other gauges inside the instrument panel of my vehicle. It will be a safety issue when the speedometer stops working. Gm has made repairs for some models but not the trailblazer.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet trailblazer. All of the gauges on the instrument control panel failed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The failures were contributed to the instrument panel cluster. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time. The failure mileage was 60,000. The current mileage was 100,000.

I own a 2004 chevy trailblazer that recently has began to give me problems with the instrument panel not reading correctly. My speedometer sits at 0 even when I'm doing 65 MPH. My tach reads the same. Upon checking this out, I found that this is a ongoing problem with this particular vehicle that gm has no recall as of to date. Other have issues with their gas,voltmeters and oip pressure gauges. I find these issues not only annoying but unsafe while going down the freeway not knowing if your speed is correct. The average cost of repairs for this is about $500 to $700. There are many of these cases going on with this particular vehicle. A safety recall would be nice.
2004 chevy trail blazer, speedometer, tachometer and gas gauge all failed while on the road. A speedometer is a must. I saw on the net where this is not an uncommon problem and the site said that gm has already won a law suit but has not issued a recall.
Instrument panel (speedometers, gas gauge and water temp gauge) on my 2004 chevy trailblazer lt-a is defective but chevy will not recall and fix this problem even though they have recalled and repaired others models with this problem.
Headlights continually burn out. Replace every month! Just replaced on 2 days ago and already out again! Speedometer does not work.
Speedometer and tach work intermittently. I believe this is a safety issue, drivers need to be aware of the speed they are traveling.
While driving along my tachometer and speedometer on my 2004 chevy trailblazer dip below zero. I took it to my mechanic who said the electrical is shot in the dashboard area. My vehicle has to be running for 30 min or more for it to act up. If I leave cruise control on the needle stays ,once cruise is turned off I'm doing (hopefully) 70 while my speedometer says I'm doing 20. Searching on the internet I'm not the first to complain about this. Has chevy recalled the dashboard unit in the 2004 trailblazer yet?
Speedometer on my 2004 chevrolet trailblazer no longer functions properly. Shows the vehicle is moving at 15 - 20 MPH sitting in the garage. Have no idea how fast the vehicle is traveling when driving on the road. Gm has recalled the full size vehicles (I.e. Tahoe/escalade) that have exhibited the same failure mode in the instrument cluster. The trailblazer/envoy chassis use the same cluster as the full size vehicles, no idea why they are not included in the recall.
Instrument cluster just quit working, speedometer, fuel gauge, tach, ampmeter, temp gauge, oil pressure are all not working. All warning lights don't appear to be functioning. The odometer is not displaying the mileage.

Instrument panel/cluster stopped working in my 2004 chevy trailblazer. At first the gas gauge and tac stopped and then would work occasionally. Now they do not work at all and neither does the speedometer. Over the past week my entire panel, electronics, radio readout, digital readout, temp readout all go blank and then it will come on sometimes.
I own a 2004 chevy trailblazer lt and in the last six months my speedometer stops working. It freezes either at 10 MPH or goes all over the 120 MPH. When I received my recent oil changed I asked for them to check it and than said they would need to replace cluster kit to the tune of $500.00. But they wanted me to check with gm and see if there was recall because they have seen several 2004 trailblazers with the same problem. When I looked up gm there was no recall issued, so now I have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed. I was told to file a compliment.
Speedometer and tachometer stopped working at 50,000 miles.
2004 chevrolet trailblazer speedometer is consistently incorrect. The speedometer will frequently reset the point of zero MPH. E.g. Zero will be set at 50 MPH so when the vehicle is actually traveling 20 MPH, the speedometer will read 70 MPH. The only way to reset the point of zero is to turn the vehicle off and start the car over and over again, lowering the point of zero by about 5 MPH at each vehicle start.
The speedometer in my 2004 chevrolet trailblazer ls is not working properly. The needle is pointing at 120mph while the vehicle is stopped and the needle continues clockwise past 120mph as I accelerate, therefore I am not able to accurately determine the speed at which I am traveling causing a safety hazard to myself and other persons on the roadways. This did occur as I was traveling on interstate 30 in central arkansas. I was going 70mph and the speedometer gradually dropped to 0mph then later the needle moved to 120mph.
Speedometer will not display accurate reading, additionally headlights flicker as if I am flipping from bright to dim - causing other drivers to become angry with me - when checked with gm they said it was a problem with the electrical system of my model but there was no recall. I have seen numerous other complaints from other owners with the same problem.
I purchase brand new 2004 chevrolet trailblazer 3.2l v6 as of right now it only has 25,800 original mils. And all the gauges on the instrument panel (oil pressure, speedometer, fuel, and tachometer has stop working while on the highway my god that was scary. Also, this has drain the battery had to replace it the cluster instrument panel is being replace it is coasting me $580.00. I think there should be a recall on this issue due to this can cause traffic accident. As I was at the chevrolet dealership at the service center today there was another trailblazer with the same problem.
I am a military member and have been back and forth to iraq and afghanistan, I own a chevy trailblazer 2004, the speedometer has been messed up for several months showing 30 MPH at a stop and changing every day to a new speed. It is a very stressful knowing that your spouse is in the states driving a unreliable vehicle, on top of the stress from the deployment itself. To get this fixed its going to cost 400-600 dollars which should not have to paid by the vehicle owners since it is a large complaint for most of the chevy models from 04-06.
I have a 2004 chevy trailblazer and the speedometer is not working properly I have been on the internet and found out this is not the one with this problem.
The speedometer on my 2004 chevrolet trailblazer gives the incorrect speed most of the time. When I compare the speedometer reading to my GPS, it will sometimes read anywhere from 10 to 40 miles per hour too high or too low. The temperature gauge is also malfunctioning. I had a similar problem with my 2003 chevrolet silverado and the instrument cluster was replaced under a recall. At this time, no recall has been issued by gm for my 2004 chevrolet trailblazer.
Why has chevy not included the 2004 trailblazer on their recall list when thousands of people around the country are posting problems with their instrument clusters? My entire panel goes in and out but mostly out. I never know if I need gas or how fast I am going. Some of the time every light that is built in the dash is on at the same time. This is a very serious problem that is occurring in many of chevy's other vehicles yet they will not add the trailblazer to the recall list. Please help the public in this very important safety issue. Thank you.
