2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ext

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND THE REAR GLASS HAS SHATTERED 2 TIMES THE FIRST TIME WE REPORTED IT AS A WINDOW BEING SHOT OUT BUT IM NOT SURE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED NOW THERE WAS NO PROOF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED FOR SURE I OPENED THE OUTSIDE DOOR TO MY HOUSE THEN I SHUT IT TO HEAR MY WINDOW SHATTER INS PAID TO REPLACE IT AND THAT WAS JUST OVER A YEAR AGO IT COST A TOTAL OF 1200.00 TO GET FIXED THEN LAST NIGHT WE WERE GETTING STUFF OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CAR AND AS MY HUSBAND PUSHED IT SHUT THE WINDOW SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES THIS WOULD HAVE CUT HIM UP BAD IF IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COLD AND HE WASN'T WEARING HIS WINTER COAT WHAT IF IT WAS MY 8 YEAR OLD GOING OUT TO GET SOMETHING . NOT SURE HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET THE WINDOW REPLACED ITS CHRISTMAS TIME AND I CANT REALLY AFFORD IT HOPING THE GLASS COMPANY WILL HONOR THERE POLICY OF SAFE GLASS AND REPLACE IT. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE ARE UNRELIABLE. SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES SEEMS TO WORK BUT IS NO ACCURATE WHEN IT DOES SHOW A SPEED. FUEL GAUGE MOVES BUT IS USUALLY THE NEEDLE IS NOT EVEN IN THE NORMAL AREA IE. BETWEEN E AND F. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE, BUT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD RESOLVE AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS. *TR

WE ARE THE OWNER OF A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE 4 MAJOR CONCERNS REGARDING OUR VEHICLE. THE FIRST I HAVE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE CHEVY COMPANY. OUR TRAILBLAZER WAS SHUTTING OFF DUE TO A BAD SEAL SOMEHOW CONNECTED WHEN THE HEAT/AIR IS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF AND YOU LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL. WE HAD AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND IS THE LOSS OF OUR WINDSHIELD FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THEY NO LONGER WORK. THE 3RD IS THE REAR MOLDING BROKE LOOSE FROM WATER COLLECTING AND THEN FREEZING WITH NO WAY OF PREVENTING THIS FROM HAPPENING. WE LOST THIS PIECE OF MOLDING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HIT A SEMI TRUCK. THE 4TH IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BE ABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. EACH MORNING WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SUV WILL ACT LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND THEN START. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND PROBLEM WAS NOT FOUND. I AM QUITE CONCERNED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM NOTATED. WE ARE CURRENTLY ON OUR 3RD BATTERY SINCE 2004. *TR

MY WIFE'S 2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON IN LATE SEPTEMBER 2009. SHE HAD BEEN COMPLAINING OF A GASOLINE SMELL AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE OBDII CODE READ AND IT WAS CODE 0440 EVAPORATIVE FUEL SYSTEM - SMALL LEAK. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE GAS CAP, AND IT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT THE 2002-2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT HAD A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK FILLER NECKS DEVELOPING CRACKS AND CAUSING THE SES LIGHT TO COME ON AND GAS TO LEAK WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED OR NEAR FULL. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET, WHO STATED THAT OUT TRAILBLAZER IS NOT IN THE VIN RANGE OF TRAILBLAZER EXT'S THAT WERE COVERED BY A SPECIAL NOTICE THAT ALLOWED THE TANKS TO BE REPLACED UNDER A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $900+. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2004 TRAILBLAZER EXT, OUTSIDE OF THE NARROW VIN RANGE THAT CHEVROLET WILL ADMIT TO. ALL 2004 EXT'S SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. OUR VEHICLE JUST TURNED 60,000 MILES. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS FOR SOME TIME. AT FIRST IT WOULD MALFUNCTION FROM TIME TO TIME AT APPROXIMATELY 89,000. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. WHEN I STARTED INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT CHEVROLET HAS ANOTHER VEHICLE, "CHEVY TAHOE", THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY THERE IS A RECALL TO FIX THE TAHOE AND NOT THE TRAILBLAZERS? DEFINITE "DEFECT TREND" THAT SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL. I DON'T HAVE THE $600+ TO FIX SO MUST CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN IT. A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR ME AND THE OTHERS ON THE ROAD! WAITING FOR THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO FAIL AS OTHERS SAY HAPPENS NEXT! *TR
