Radio/tape Cd Player problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer

In novemeber 2014 I started the car and I had no guages(gas,temperature,oil,rpm. Mph, and the mileage display) the other electric components worked, like the radio and the small orange light for awd. I took it to my mechanic twice, but it never acted up for him. It happened twice again in December, but it really acted possessed in Jan 2015, some of the guage needles were going round in circles, and some were not moving at all, so we were able to take a video of some of it, and show our mechanic. He called us today and said he is following a lot of burnt wires, and our car could have caught on fire. I thought this potential fire hazard should be reported.

Back hatch and window will only open occasionally if I'm lucky. Tail lights went out once and I was able to get the hatch open to fix it. They are out again and I can't get the hatch to open now. I have been replacing head lamps about every 8 to 10 months. Head lights are now going off for no apparent reason while I'm driving at night. I can flip on the brights and then wait a few minutes and flip back to low beams, sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't. The dome lights will not come on and stay on after I turn it off. Half of the dash lights for the radio are out, sometimes they will come on if I tap them. The feature that lets you turn the vehicle off and the radio will continue to play and the windows will still roll down as long as you don't open the door, is not working. Both O2 sensors are out and have been for a long time. I purchased this SUV brand new from a chevy dealer. I have paid it off and kept up all of the general maintenance on it. When I took it in to get these issues fixed I was told it would be over $2500. 00 to fix and that did not include labor. This SUV is a lemon, if I was in a position to trade it in or buy a new one I would, and I would not be getting another chevy. I have never been notified of any recalls. I only found out about the electrical recalls on the turn signals and tail lights because a friend had heard about them and suggested a website to check. I'm calling the dealer today to see if I can get these issues taken care of. Another reason I will not be buying chevy again.

I am in the process of having to replace the head unit for my stereo due to malfunctions, my driver side view mirror due to constant shaking, a seal in the window that was coming out, driver side door panel due to the plastic bowing up. Occasionally the rear windshield wiper does not work, as well as the driver's seatbelt fails to release allowing me to put my seatbelt on. Excess wind noise on the driverside possibly due to the windshield not being sealed properly.
