Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS. BOUGHT IT NEW OFF THE DEALER'S LOT. IN 2007, APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES LATER THE TACHOMETER BEGAN TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. AT 120,000 MILES, IT QUIT ALL TOGETHER. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. NOW IN 2009 AND 150,000 MILES IT DOES NOT WORK 90+% OF THE TIME. WHEN IT DOES, THE SPEED INDICATION IS UNRELIABLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR ESTIMATE; $800 TO $1000 ALL DAY SITUATION. HAVE TAKEN IT TO OTHER REPAIR SHOPS, BUT THEY REFER BACK TO THE DEALER IN ORDER TO OBTAIN PARTS. SO FAR, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE VEHICLE, BUT AWAITING THE NEXT GAUGE TO FAIL. *TR
