Consumer Description

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT WITH 76,500 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS READING MAXIMUM. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER IN THE DARK ON A BUSY HWY TO CHECK OIL AND IT WAS FULL. THEN APPROX 2 WEEKS LATER THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS POINTING DOWN AND STAYS THERE. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING 80 MPH EVEN WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER THE GAS AND WATER TEMP GAUGE IS READING CORRECTLY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALREADY FILED ABOUT THIS MODEL AND MANY OTHER CHEVROLET MODELS. RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON SOME MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THIS ONE. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THIS MODEL ASAP AND CORRECT THE INFAMOUS PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AND ONE THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. *TR
