Multiple warning lights by model year
What owners say
Dash cluster, reads below 0 or over 100mph at times, sometimes sticks at 5 or 10mph. Sometimes buries speedometer and tach, all dash lights come on and car will shut down at speeds over 60mph. This sould be recalled! Have read of similar problems on all car forums and complaint sites and other google inquiries as well.didn't.
My 2004 chevy trailblazer instrument gauges started going haywire. Everything that I have read says the whole panel needs replaced. The oil, battery, temp and gas clusters stopped working then all of a sudden while driving down the road start working again. Then the speedometer and tach stopped and started and now nothing is coming on. I have no idea how much fuel that I have and all of the warning lights are all lit up. Waiting for the whole thing to blow. I currently have it at a gm dealer and they said that it will cost me 500 bucks to replace the panel. I told them to go ahead because I don't feel safe driving like that. I have to have this vehicle to work and I want gm to pay for this to be fixed. Major safety concern for me!

Since 2007 my instrument panel cluster of my 2004 chevrolet trailblazer (which I purchased brand new in 2004 from dealership) goes on and off some days it works and some days it does not. I could be driving down the road and all of the lights on the dash and gauges go out. I am unsure at times how much gas is in my car and just have to estimate and fill the tank. I attempted to have the dealership help me out because I purchased an extended warranty but they were bought out by another dealer. I wrote to chevrolet and they refused to help me out. I am unable to pay the $700 to $800 they have quoted me to pay to have it fixed. There are several other vehicles with this problem so it should be recalled by chevrolet. I feel this is a safety issue because all of the lights go out sometimes at night so I have refrained from driving at night very much.
All lights, and bells went off on instrument panel. Started with the check 4-wheel drive, then all other lights starting flashing on and off. The gauges kept going down to nothing. Have had it in to the shop 5 times so far. Isn't this under the lemon law? And it seems as though I have to look forward to my speedometer going out next. It only has 38,000 on it. I cant believe gm will not take responsibility for their mistake.
Instrument panel lights go out without notice. At times all lights and gauges are on. Other times no lights or gauges work at all. I know that the instrument cluster was recalled on various 2004 chevy truck models. Please check into this 2004 trailblazer problem.
