Consumer Description

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2009 FOR A OIL CHANGE & A EXHAUST LEAK WAS TOLD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOUND OUT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM WHEN MANUFACTURING THE VEHICLE USED BOLTS THAT WERE TO LONG MAKING THE MANIFOLD GET TO HOT AND THEREFORE LEADS TO IT CRACKING. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $319.50 & HAVING IT BACK FOR A MONTH & DRIVING IT 3 TIMES MY SPEEDOMETER WENT HAYWIRE REGISTERING A SITTING STILL SPEED OF 45 MPH. ONCE AGAIN LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THEY HAVE ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE CHEVY TRUCKS AND YUKON GMC FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL SO FAR ABOUT THE TRAILBLAZER. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME $516.33, BOTH OF THESE REPAIRS ARE DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING & SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL. I JUST HOPE THAT NONE OF THE OTHER ISSUES I HAVE READ ABOUT BECOMES A CONCERN FOR ME. *TR
