NHTSA Complaint #10298451 — 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

IN SEPTEMBER 2009, MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER STARTED GOING HAYWIRE! IT LOST ALL POWER (WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE), THE POWER/CIGARETTE OUTLETS STOPPED WORKING, THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING THEMSELVES (SOMETIMES WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION) , THE RADIO WOULD GO LOUD OR STOP WORKING, MY SPEEDOMETER WENT NUTS (LIKE SAYING THAT I WAS DOING 65MPH, WHEN I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP OR 120MPH DOWN THE HWY), THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF,AND MY HEATER WILL NOT BLOW OUT THE VENTS IN THE DASH. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC. HE TRIED EVERYTHING FROM REPLACING THE BATTERY, FUEL FILTER, AND SPARK PLUGS. HE EVEN HOOKED IT UP TO HIS SCANNER (WHICH SHOWED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR) ALL THIS AND $700.00 LATER I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. NOW I'M TOLD THAT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST AROUND $500-$900!! IF YOU LOOK AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM YOU SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH THE SAME CAR AND THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE SOMEONE PUSHES CHEVY INTO DOING A RECALL? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN? I WAS SO GLAD TO GOOGLE CAR COMPLAINTS AND FIND THAT IT WASN'T JUST ME THAT WAS HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRAILBLAZER. *TR
