Consumer Description

ON SEPT. 12TH, THE BATTERY ON MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER DIED. WHILE TRYING TO JUMP THE BATTERY, SPARKS FLEW AND THE CHARGE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED THAT DAY WITH A NEW ONE. ON SEPT. 16TH, THE DOOR CONTROL MODULE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STOPPED WORKING AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ERRATIC. ON SEPT. 22ND, THE ENTIRE CONTROL INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. NONE OF THE GAUGES OR DISPLAYS WORK. ON SEPT. 24TH, REPLACED THE DOOR CONTROL MODULE WITH A USED PART TO SAVE MONEY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STILL DOES NOT WORK, AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, BOTH ISSUES (DOOR CONTROL MODULE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL) ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH TRAILBLAZERS. CHEVROLET HAS NOT PUT EITHER OF THESE ON THE RECALL LIST. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NOT EXACTLY A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PART GO OUT ON ANY OTHER CAR I'VE DRIVEN. THE FIX IS $400-600 AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST ALONE IS $100. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED, AND NOT HAVING A SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE OR FUEL GAUGE IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR A SINGLE MOM AND 2 YOUNG KIDS! *TR
