Consumer Description

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE VEHICLE RAN O.K. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING AND HE BELIEVED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS. IT WASN'T A RECALL SO WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OURSELVES AND SINCE WE REGULARLY CHANGE/CHECK OUR OIL I WASN'T TOO WORRIED. NOW WE HAVE NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS SHOT ALL THE WAY AROUND AND HAS STAYED BUT WHEN IT IS REALLY COLD OUTSIDE IT DROPS BACK TO NORMAL. THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE RPM GAUGE ALSO STICKS. SPENT MANY DAYS FOR A FEW YEARS TRYING TO SOLVE PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO AND DVD PLAYER NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SWITCHING STATIONS ON ITS OWN AND AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS FINALLY GAVE UP BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER CORRECTED. THIS IS A REAL CONCERN AS I DO TRAVEL BY MYSELF AND RELY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHEVORLET. *TR
