The whole instrument cluster does not work anymore, does not let me know how fast I'm going or how much fuel I have, oil pressure gauge doesn't work, temperature gauge doesn't work... Why hasn't this been recalled? This is very dangerous, considering I have 4 kids that are constantly in the car with me and I have no idea what is going on with my vehicle?? And it also tells me that my fuel level is low, even after I fill my tank. This seems like a very common problem in these vehicles, why has it not been considered a safety issue????

I bought 2005 chevrolet trailblazer and the fuel gauge is defective. It is crazy to hear beep sounding all the time telling me the gauge is empty when I know for sure is not. I wish it could be fixed, because I have many others things in my plate that need to worry, I really don't need another one.

For the 3rd time the cluster has gone out. This results in the speedometer, temperature gauge and others to stop working. Each time I AM expected to take my vehicle to a chevrolet mechanic for diagnosis and part replacement at $700.00+ each time. This model has no recall. I AM fed up with paying this much every 3-4 years for a defective part. There has never been any sign before it goes out.

Our 2005 chevy trailblazer speedometer stopped working. This has happened on many of these vehicles. It is a very expensive fix and it's a danger to drivers not knowing how fast they are traveling.
