While driving home from work about 55 mph, my speedometer stopped working. I was 32 miles from home and after dark. I have a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer with 108,000 mi on it.

(1) I purchased my vehicle (2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4WD) in may of 2003. I have taken my car to be fixed on a couple of occasions. Namely recalls. Around August of 2005, my rear driver side window ceased functioning. The rear windows of my car have been the least used and for the forementioned window to cease functioning seamed odd. (2) because of the failure of the rear driver side window, I have to prop the window in place to prevent rain from coming in and ruining my vehicle interior. (3) nothing has been done to correct this failure. I have taken my car by the local Chevrolet dealership, but they wish to charge my around $250 to fix the problem. I am capable of fixing the problem myself for just under $100. Vehicle is no longer covered under warranty because at the time (which was under the 3 year warranty date) I had exceeded the 36,000 mile mark by about 4-5K miles. As a side note, I have spoken with a couple of other Trailblazer owners and others have had this same problem. If you are not familiar with the window regulator, its design allows for the pulley chords that connect to the top and bottom of the window to get caught with in the regulator. When this happens, too much stress and strain is put on the plastic regulator and a break will occur.

2003 Chevrolet trail Blazer lt. Window cable assembly- living in Florida, I have opened with windows maybe 25 times since the purchase of the vehicle. The cable jumped the guide track in the door and window failed to go up. Mileage warranty expired 7000 miles ago. Dealer states over $400 to replace the window cable assembly. Mechanics state it is a terrible design.

Since I bought this vehicle August 30, 2002 I have had to bring it back to the dealership on numerous occasions for several different items. I have had both the left and right brake lights gone out, the driver side head lamp went out, the air conditioner has gone out twice(four months apart), the driver side passenger window is inoperable(we have tried to get it fixed for almost a month now with no success) and the engine cooling fan was warped and the fan clutch malfunctioned. At this point we don't understand why they haven't just recalled the whole vehicle. Luckily we have the 36,000 mile warranty still in affect but what's going to happen when it is up and the same problems keep recurring?
