| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | DAILY FAILURE OF SEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THIS WAS IN ADDITION TO FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM WAS INCONSISTENT AND MADE ME QUESTION THE ACTUAL SPEED AT EVERY MOMENT AND MADE ME MEASURE BASED ON OTHER TRAFFIC. IT IS A VERY DISTRACTING WAY TO DRIVE WITH ALL GAUGES MOVING AT TIMES AND THEN RETURNING TO A FIXED SETTING. I HAD THE CLUSTERBOARD REPLACED BY THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED THIS WAS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM. INSTRUMENT PANELS ON 3 YEAR OLD CARS DO NOT FAIL UNLESS THERE IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. PLEASE PREVENT ACCIDENTS IN THE FUTURE THIS IS NOT A SAFE WAY TO OPERATE A VEHICLE. *TR |
