Consumer Description

I HAVE LOTS OF ISSUES WITH MY TRAILBLAZER. JUST TODAY MY A/C QUIT BLOWING. I'VE HAD ENOUGH SO DECIDED TO RESEARCH ONLINE. GLAD I DID BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THERE REALLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. FIRST OFF I MY GAUGES(ALL OF THEM, INCLUDING FUEL GAUGE) STARTED TO ACT UP. SOMETIMES THEY WORKED AND OTHER TIMES THEY WERE WAY OFF OR JUST HANGING. THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORK AT ALL. THIS ALL STARTED YEARS AGO. I HAVE JUST LIVED WITH IT AS I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THEM. MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AT RANDOM ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. ALSO SOMETHING I HAVE JUST LIVED WITH AS I DON'T DO TOO MUCH NIGHT TIME DRIVING. NOW THAT MY A/C IS NOT BLOWING I WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, AND AM NOT GOING TO ALLOW MY DAUGHTER AND I TO SWEAT EVERYDAY BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK AND SCHOOL TO HOME. THIS SUCKS!!! THEY REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE CONNECTIONS GETTING SO HOT THEY BURN UP.
