NHTSA Complaint #10311143 — 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN 2004. IN 2007, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION EXHIBITING ERRATIC FUNCTION. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. NOW, HERE IT IS, 2/2010 AND THE CLUSTER IS DOING THE VERY SAME THING THE ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE CLUSTER WAS DOING. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND READ WHERE MANY, MANY OWNERS OF CHEVY PRODUCTS FROM 2003 ON ARE HAVING THESE COMPARABLE ISSUES AND THAT CHEVY HAS SOME SORT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY ARE OFFERING FOR MANY GM PRODUCTS WITH THESE DEFECTIVE CLUSTERS. I AM DISGUSTED BY THE FACT THAT, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO AN INADEQUATE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS NECESSARY TO WARRANT COVERAGE. IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE TRAILBLAZER HAS THE IDENTICAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS THE OTHER GM PRODUCTS COVERED IN THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY. AT THIS POINT, I AM ADDING MYSELF TO WHAT I'M SURE IS A GROWING NUMBER OF UNHAPPY GM OWNERS COMING TO YOU IN HOPES THAT GM WILL BE MADE HELD RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE A THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR
