The instrument panel failed. The speedometer reads between 60 (at a stop) and >120 (highway speed). The tachometer arm points straight down at all times. I am planning on replacing it myself, knowing a recall will take too long for me to wait because of the obvious safety concerns. I have read many forums and talked to others with gm vehicles around this year. I know of the recall on the 2002 models and it seems gm didn't try that hard to fix future models. Please fix this safety concern and save other's money and, more importantly, lives because of this carelessness displayed by gm.

Instrument panel failure, ran out of gas on a busy four lane highway during morning rush hour. I was in the left hand lane and was unable to move to the shoulder. I now became a major traffic problem until some nice citizen helped me push the truck out of harms way, having to stop both lanes of traffic so I could cross. Had I a working gas gauge I feel this would not have happened, none of the instruments in the vechile work, chevy has recalled other models of this year with the same problems,but not the Trailblazer. Why?.

2004 chevy Trailblazer. Instrument panel fails. No speedometer, gas gauge, battery, oil, etc.
I have a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. All the gauges in the instrument panel are failing! first the speedometer stopped working, then the rpm gauge, and now the oil pressure gauge.
Instruments on the instrument panel began to fail one at a time starting with tach then oil pressure and now speedometer. Started a couple of months ago and have not had the money to fix. Have to fix it now that speedometer doesn't work. Problems started at about 75,000 miles now at 92,000 miles.

My 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4x4 v6 is experiencing some instrument panel cluster problems. This is the second time as I had the instrument panel cluster entirely replaced once already. The fist time, the tachometer stopped working and the speedometer malfunctioned showing incorrect speeds at different times, including showing 80mph when sitting still in the driveway. Now the instrument panel has malfunctioned again. Now my battery gauge, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, and temp gauge stopped working and and are at zero as if the car is off. Most of my warning lights are on also. The abs, seatbelt, battery, and parking brake lights stay on. Also, the gear indicator light telling me if I am in p,r,n,d, etc no longer highlights the gear I am in and the cruise control light doesn't come on when I engage the cruise control. However, I would say once out of every 15-20 times I drive the car the instrument panel and gauges work flawlessly. Obviously this time it is not the motors of the gauges that are the problem, but something power and/or electrical. I'm worried about knowing how much gas I have left and, more importantly, what my speed is, whether the engine temp is ok, and whether the oil pressure is normal.

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!.
