Consumer Description

MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT GAUGE CLUSTERS MALFUNCTION. ONE BY ONE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES HAVE BEEN FAILING. FIRST THE RPM GAUGE STUCK AT ZERO IN MARCH '08. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO (OCT '08), THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO AND NOW FLUCTUATES ERRATICALLY . OFTEN TIMES, RESTARTING THE CAR WILL TEMPORARILY RESET THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE UNTIL IT FAILS AGAIN. THIS MONTH (DEC. '08), THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE PEGGED HIGH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL TEMPORARILY HESITATE. THE ONLY GAUGE THAT APPEARS TO WORK PROPERLY IS THE FUEL GAUGE, AND I'M GUESSING THAT WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL TOO. DURING MY LAST OIL CHANGE AT A CHEVY DEALER, THEY INDICATED THAT MOST LIKELY THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/GAUGE DRIVERS ARE BAD AND CAN BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800. I'VE DONE A LOT OF SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH CHEVY VEHICLES, YET CHEVROLET HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT OR REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR
