Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE NORMAL, STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED, THE FUEL GAUGE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, BATTERY GAUGE, TACHOMETER, PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING THEN CAME BACK ON. ALSO, INSTEAD OF READING DRIVER LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES, THE PANEL WAS READING UNKNOWN DRIVER. THEN AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HOME, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND WOULD NOT COME BACK UP. AFTER WE GOT HOME, THE NEXT DAY THE PANEL WORKED FINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIME SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT IN 2011. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE FORUMS AND POSTS ONLINE FROM OTHERS STATING IT IS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER CHEVY MAKES BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. THIS IS A VERY SCARY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHEVY DUE TO THE NUMEROUS OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *JB
