Consumer Description

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THE TACHOMETER DOESN'T REGISTER, NOR DOES THE BATTERY GAUGE AND UNCERTAIN IF THE READING ON THE OIL GAUGE IS ACCURATE. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT OPERABLE, THE NEEDLE IS EITHER PASS E(EMPTY) OR PASS F (FULL), I'M CONSTANTLY RE-FUELING FOR FEAR OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. WHEN FIRST STARTING THE ENGINE, THE SPEED INDICATOR MIGHT REGISTER CORRECTLY, BUT THEN IT FALLS BELOW 0 MPH WHILE TRAVELING SPEEDS OF 35 TO 55 MPH AND OTHER TIMES IT MAY INDICATE SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 100 MPH. PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER FIRST STARTED IN JUNE 2012 , I USED A GPS TO KEEP TRACK OF TRAVELING SPEED. AFTERWARDS, THE OTHER GAUGES STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED OR REPLACED.VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES, AS I OCCASIONALLY TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN TO APPOINTMENTS. HAS CHEVROLET MADE ANY AMENDMENTS TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS? ASSISTANCE NEEDED PLEASE. *TR
