I feel it is absolutely ridiculous to haft to ride in my car in this condition after 44000 miles.The car has been parked the duration of its life.Well, driven back and forth to work.Now I cant tell how fast,how much gas if its hot or cold or even if my batteries low.And then the thought enters your mine I shouldve bought Japanese.If Chevrolet continues to go at this rate not respecting the well being of its buyers they could add me to there list also.They should look into fixing this inconvenience.

As with many of you we like the Trail Blazer for its size and looks. However we are much less than pleased with the instrument cluster problem. We have talk we our dealer and of course it's not covered under the extended warranty. We called GM and they told us if the dealer said it was a manufacturer defect that they (GM) would fix it. We did what they said and the dealer said it was a manufacturer defect. Of course when we contacted GM again they said there was NO RECORD OF OTHER COMPLAINTS and they would not do anything. We have not given up fighting to get it fixed. Anyone else with this problem should keep fighting also.

I will NEVER buy another Trailblazer! This is my second and it has just as many problems as the first one. I though maybe I got a lemon the first time, but no these just Suck!

53,000 miles. Tach quit working first. Then all dash warning lights came on & all gauges quit working. Underpowered engine light on and vehicle won't run just idles. Shut vehicle off & restarted it.lWarning ights went off and it ran OK to get it home. Replaced dash cluster module. GM parts employee said he hoped we got a good dash cluster module as GM has several bad ones.
Vehicle ran for about 2 weeks and exactly same problem occurred. GM "moonlighting" mechanic checked wiring and replaced 1 connector (by the way, he charged $300 to do this--wouldn't recommend this guy) & told us to get new battery (which we did). Still same problem.
Now going to replace the dash cluster AGAIN (hope we got one of the GOOD ONES this time). Hope this fixes it.
GM shame on you. You know about this problem, why don't you recall and fix the problem before someone gets hurt or killed.
