NHTSA Complaint #10474259 — 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT

THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH NORTH BOUND ON DAVIS BLVD. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 80 MPH THEN WHEN STOPPED IT WAS STILL READING 80 MPH. IT THEN MOVED PAST THE GAUGE NOT ALLOWING TO KNOW MY ACTUAL SPEED. THIS TO ME IS A CAR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR MORE THAT 24 MONTHS. THE CAUTION LIGHT (YELLOW) TURNS ON WHEN YOU NEED TO FILL THE TANK SO WE HAVE BEEN USING THIS LIGHT TO FILL THE CAR WITH GAS. THE GAUGE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE THE CAR IS NOT ABUSED WE FILL THIS IS SOMETHING WHICH SHOULD HAVE LASTED THE REGULAR 100,000 MILES BEFORE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER. FROM TALKING TO OTHER USERS AND REPEATED SEARCHES ONLINE IT SEEM TO BE A REGULAR FAILURE ITEM. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. MANY DRIVERS HAVE HAD TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY TO HAVE THIS ITEM FIXED IN LESS THAN AVERAGE MEAN TIMES BETWEEN FAILURE OF (100,000 MILES). *TR
