TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY.

Mileage: 130,000

DRIVING CONDITIONS DARK, 11PM, UNLIT, STARS VISIBLE PAVED COUNTRY ROAD WITH HILLS, CURVES AND 2-5 FOOT DITCHES. WEATHER WET BUT DRYING. VISIBILITY GOOD. VEHICLE IN MOTION NEAR LEGAL SPEED LIMIT 80 KM/HR. OCCASIONAL ONCOMING TRAFFIC, SO OCCASIONALLY SWITCHING BETWEEN LOW AND HIGH BEAMS. NOTICED LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED OCCASIONALLY. EFFECT WAS ONLY VISIBLE AFTER ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD PASSED, BEFORE SWITCHING BACK TO HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I HAD ATTRIBUTED THE EFFECT TO MY EYES ADJUSTING AFTER THE ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS. ON ONE OCCASION, AFTER THE ONCOMING VEHICLE HAD PASSED, I SWITCHED BACK TO LOW BEAM SETTING, BUT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATING THE ROAD AT ALL. ALL I COULD SEE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF YELLOWISH LIGHT OFF TO THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE OTHER RUNNING LIGHTS, INCLUDING YELLOW LIGHTS ON THE SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS. THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT LIGHT TO SEE ANY DISTANCE DOWN THE ROAD, SO I CEASED TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND COVERED THE BRAKE APPLYING GENTLE BRAKING. I STILL HAD MY FINGERS ON THE LEVER AND WAS ABLE TO SWITCH BACK TO HIGH BEAMS AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS. FORTUNATELY THE HIGH BEAMS STILL WORKED. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE SAFE OPPORTUNITY, TO ASSESS WHAT HAD HAPPENED. ALL OTHER LIGHTS, INCLUDING THE FOG LIGHTS WERE WORKING. I DROVE AT REDUCED SPEED ALTERNATELY USING THE FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS. THE LOW BEAMS OCCASIONALLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. BY THE TIME I WAS HOME, THEY HAD CEASED TO WORK. I REPLACED THE GM HDM MODULE, AND THE LOW BEAMS WORKED FOR A YEAR OR SO UNTIL THAT MODULE FAILED. THERE IS A RECALL TO REPLACE GM HDM 15016745 WITH GM HDM 13506836 BUT THE RECALL APPARENTLY DOES NOT APPLY TO MY 2004 MODEL YEAR. NHTSA RECALL NO. : 15V-519 MANUFACTURER RECALL NO. : 14291 I CONSIDER THIS TO HAVE BEEN A SEVERE LIFE THREATENING EVENT.

THE PROBLEMS STARTED IN 2006 AND WERE VERY INTERMITTENT. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, LIGHTS, BATTERY , AND OTHER UNKNOWN ITEMS. THE DEALER CHECK THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN IT STARTED, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SOMETIMES, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, CHECK ANY FUSES AND RELAYS, AND THEN THEY WOULD COME BACK ON. THE NEXT ELECTRICAL ISSUE WAS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, WHICH ON A TRIP ACROSS TO FLORIDA IT WOULD BE ERRATIC AND INDICATE I WAS TRAVELING OVER 120 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY GPS SAID I WAS DRIVING AT 65. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH REPLACING MULTIPLE BATTERIES WHICH GO DEAD EVERY 4 OR 5 DAYS DEPENDING ON USAGE. AFTER THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, EACH OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL ITEM WORKED ON AND OFF. THIS INCLUDES THE GAS TANK GAUGE, THE AMMETER, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, TACHOMETER, AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THEY ALL WORKED ON AND OFF FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS, AND NOW NONE OF THESE VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES HAVE WORKED FOR OVER 2 YEARS. I WONDER IF THE ELECTRONICS THAT EFFECT THE AIR BAGS WOULD WORK IF I EVER HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE REPLACED MANY BATTERIES, I STILL HAVE TO CHARGE EACH ONE EVERY 4 OR 5 DAYS OR I CANNOT START THE TRUCK. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER, AND THEIR RELATED GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HEAR THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE GMC-ENVOY WHICH IS THE SAME RELATED PARTS VEHICLE BUT THERE IS NOT ONE FOR THE TRAILBLAZER? I AM DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES AND HOPING FOR THE RECALL THAT WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. THANK GOD I HAVE A 97 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT RUNS WELL. I WISH [XXX] WOULD READ THIS. I ALSO HAVE PHOTOS OF THE NON-WORKING INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE 120MPH SPEEDOMETER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I CAN START MY VEHICLE AND THE GAUGES STARTED STICKING. I AM CONSTANTLY BEING SHOCKED BY THE DRIVER DOOR. MY GAUGES NO LONGER WORK AT ALL AND HAVE COMPLETELY WENT HAYWIRE. I HAVE NO DASH LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE, HOW FAST I AM GOING. MY CRUISE CONTROL EITHER AT TIMES INCREASES MY SPEED OR DOES NOT HOLD THE SPEED. I HAVE TO USE A GPS DEVICE TO KNOW APPROXIMATE SPEED. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS TONS OF ISSUES. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT AN ELECITRICAL MESS. FIRST MY HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT ONCE A MONTH, THEN A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH, THEN ONCE A WEEK. MY BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED DOING THE SAME. OUR FAMLIY MECHHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT, HE JUST KEPT REPLACING THEM AND SENDING THE BAD BULBS IN FOR WARRANTY. A COUPLE TIMES THE PIGTAILS AND LAMPS HAD TO BE REPLACES. ALSO 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING. AND I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK WITH NO HEAD LIGHTS ON. I TOOK IT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AFTER THE THIRD TIME ABD APPARENTLY MY FUSE BOX WAS MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SPENT OVER 1000.00 DOING THAT AND IT WORKED OKAY FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THEN HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING OUT AGAIN AND BRAKE TLIGHTS AS WELL. NOT ONCE A WEEK, BUT STILL ABOUT ONCE A MONTH OR EVERY OTHER MONTH. RECENTLY MY DRIVERS WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE MASTER SWITCH TO LOCK MY CAR OR ROLL UP MY WINDOWS. THE CLUSTER PANEL IN THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, HAD TWO SENSORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE, PARKING BRAKE, AND CRUSIE CONTROL WOULD STOP WORKING ALL AT ONCE AND THE LIGHTS WOULD BE LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I WASNT' ABLE TO USE ANY OF THEM UNTIL THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. ALSO THE POWER SHORTED OUT IN MY SIDE MIRROS, SO I CAN'T ADJUST THE MIRRORS WITH THE CONTROL OR THEY START TILITING BACK AND FORTH LIKE CRAZY ON THEIR OWN. I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND ADJUST THEM MANUALLY. GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL, THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I WILL NOT BE BUYING A GM CAR WHILE I LOOK FOR A NEW CAR SOON. *JS

THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. YOU CAN SWITCH TO THE HIGH BEAMS AND THE HIGH BEAMS WILL WORK. AFTER ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, YOU CAN PUT THE LIGHTS BACK TO NORMAL AND THEY WILL OPERATE ON THE LOW BEAMS. IT MAY BE A MONTH BEFORE THIS OCCURS AGAIN.

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I CONTACTED CHEVY DEALER AND ADVISED OF SO MANY ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE THE PURCHASE MAINLY MOST RECENT IS THE DRIVER SIGNAL LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON AND IT WAS RECALLED 2004 RECALL# TURN SIGNAL 05V198000 IN WHICH THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE CAMPAIGN HAS EXPIRED AND THEREFORE MINE CANNOT BE REPLACED. I HAVE ALREADY ALMOST HAD 3 CAR CRASHES BECAUSE THE SIGNAL IS NOT WORKING. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHEVROLET DID NOT REPLACE WHEN IT IS CLEAR THIS IS LIFE THREATENING REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE RECALL WAS PUT INTO FORCE. *TR

Mileage: 125,000

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT NOTICED NO LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS. FLIPPED TO HIGH BEAM AND THEY WORKED. CALLED A FRIEND WHO SAID TO CHECK THE RELAY BY SWITCHING THE FAN RELAY WITH LOW BEAM RELAY. THAT WAS PROBLEM. PURCHASED A NEW RELAY NEXT DAY AND INSTALLED IT. 2 DAYS LATER, NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS AGAIN. POPPED COVER ON RELAYS TO FIND A MELTED MESS. LOW BEAM RELAY HAD MELTED ALONG WITH THE 15 AMP FUSE ADJACENT TO IT AS WELL AS THE FUSE BOX. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH ON LINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'M CURRENTLY HUNTING DOWN A USED UNDER HOOD FUSE/RELAY BOX TO REPLACE THIS ONE WITH. *TR

Mileage: 112,252

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. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS WENT DARK. ALL THE OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORKED WELL (RADIO AND STUFF) AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STREET, MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I PULL IN... USUALLY IT LASTS ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND THEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. THE HIGH BEAMS STILL SEEM TO WORK, THOUGH. *TR

Mileage: 85,000

THERE ARE A FEW THINGS. AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL OR POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUE AT HAND. THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THE RPM GAUDGE. IT WILL STICK AT 3000RPM OR HIGHER. BUT THE ENGINE IS NOT OVER REVING AND THE NEEDLE STILL MOVES UP AND DOWN AS IF IT WOULD WHEN READING CORRECTLY. BUT DOESN'T DROP BELOW THE 3000RPM. THEN IT RANDOMLY RESETS AND WORKS CORRECTLY THEN WILL AGAIN RANDOMLY STICK AT 3000 EMPTY OR HIGHER. THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS IS THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY FLICKER. NOT ALL THE TIME JUST AT RANDOM. I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND ITS HOLDING A CHARGE JUST FINE. THE WEIRD THING NEXT WAS I KILLED THE POWER. NO KEY IN AT ALL AND IT STILL FLICKERED ON MY DASHBOARD. THEN STOPPED THE NEXT DAY. ANOTHER THING I WAS DRIVING HOME 1 NIGHT FROM WORK. TURNED MY BLINKERS ON TO TURN ONTO MY ROAD AND MY INTERIOR LIGHTS SLOWLY COME ON AND SLOWLY TURN BACK OFF. MY HEAD LIGHT WIRE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BURNT OUT ABOUT A YR AGO WHICH I REPLACED. NOW I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE BULB FOR MY LOW BEAM IS NOT BLOWN. IF U HIT IT COMES BACK ON. MY DRIVERS SIDE SPEAKER HAS NOT WORKED SINCE I PURCHASED MY TRAILBLAZER. AND IT WILL RANDOMLY WORK. THIS IS RECENT. I REALLY THINK THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AND MY CONSENT IS A FIRE. IVE HAD IT JUST UNDER 2 YRS. AND I'M ONLY THE 2ND OWNER AND IT HAD 34000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN JUNE OF 2011. *TR

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I THOUGHT I HAD A GREAT SUV. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNING IT DID I MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 KIDS. I CHECKED OUT THE CRASH RATINGS AND THEY WERE GREAT!! I LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT MY TB. LOOKING BACK, AFTER THE 4TH PROBLEM WITHIN THAT FIRST MONTH. I SHOULD HAVE RAN AWAY SCREAMING FROM IT, AS I DO NOW DAILY. THE LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN YOU DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO OUT. THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE TACH GOES CRAZY. THE "BELL" FOR THE LIGHTS (WHEN YOU HAVE THE KEYS OUT AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON, OR WHEN YOU HAVE THE KEYS IN AND THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN) WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE BATTERY GAUGE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. THE GAS GAUGE HASN'T HAD A PROBLEM LATELY. I AM WONDERING...DOESN'T ALL OF THAT CONSTITUTE AS A SAFETY PROBLEM?? I HAVE HAD THE LIGHTS LOOKED AT AND AM TOLD THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE..REALLY?? I AM GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE GAUGES LOOKED AT NOW AND FROM WHAT I SEE IT WILL COST ABOUT $600-$800. WHERE OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE HAD, THE O2 SENSOR, TEMP GAUGE, OTHER LIGHTING ISSUES THAT I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF BUT THIS IS GETTING TO BE A BIT MUCH. I SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT CAN'T BE FROM NORMAL WEAR ON THE VEHICLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE'S FAMILY REALLY GETS HURT, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER; WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY; ALL GAUGES, LIGHTS, ETC. ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING AND CONTINUE TO NOT WORK. I RESEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND IT COULD BE WHAT IS CALLED THE "CLUSTER BOARD". I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER IN DAYTONA BEACH FL. THEY INSISTED IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THAT MECHANISM FOR JUST UNDER $300. THE FOLLOWING WEEK (THIS OCCURRED IN 2010); THE EXACT SAME SITUATION RECURRED; SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY THEN AGREED IT WAS THE CLUSTER BOARD WHICH WOULD NOW COST ME CLOSE TO $700.00. IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING RIPPED OFF TO THE TUNE OF ALMOST $1K; I PURCHASED A GPS UNIT SO I COULD AT LEAST MONITOR MY SPEED. THE SPEED/RPMS NEVER REGISTER CORRECTLY; HOWEVER, SO FAR THE OTHER GAUGES SEEMS TO BE OK (EXCEPT FOR THE OIL PRESSURE, IT GOES OUT OF WHACK FREQUENTLY SO I JUST BRING IT IN QUICKLY TO MAKE SURE I HAVE SUFFICIENT OIL AND THAT IT'S CLEAR/CLEAN). MOST RECENTLY MY HEADLIGHTS JUST GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING; I AM ABLE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS, BUT OF COURSE THAT PUTS ME IN JEOPARDY OF GETTING A TICKET. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER - I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE CLUSTER BOARD AND THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES (LIGHTING). I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHEVROLET TAKE ON SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COST OF THESE FLAWS IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS VEHICLE. *KB

SINCE PURCHASING OUR BLAZER, WE HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS NUMEROUS OF TIMES INCLUDING THE SOCKETS FOR EACH SIDE. MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO WORK ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT. OR WE CAN SIMPLY TAP IT AND IT WILL GO OUT/COME ON. IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE BULB ON THE DRIVER SIDE REPLACED TWICE! WE HAVE SPECULATED THAT THE WIRES ARE LOOSE BUT WHEN INSPECTED, THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE. I HAVE HAD MY CAR AT THE SHOP (NOT CHEVY THEY COST TOO MUCH) AND THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING MORE THAN A BURNT BULB. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD THAT WAS NOT WELL LIT AT ABOUT 10P WHEN BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. AFTER PULLING OVER & DECIDING THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT HOME WAS TO DRIVE WITH MY FLASHERS ON, I CONTINUED MY WAY HOME. HALF WAY HOME THEY CAME BACK ON BUT BEFORE I GOT HOME THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? AGAIN, I WOULD SAY IT'S A LOOSE WIRE, BUT WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT ON BOTH SIDES? NOW,TONIGHT, WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING (11P) WITH 2 FRIENDS WITH HIM, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT; BUT CAME BACK ON. MY LIGHTS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO FLICKER, LIKE THEY ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER/TOO MUCH. I HAVE CALLED A LOCAL DEALER & AM TOLD THEY CAN RUN A TEST TO SEE WHAT THEY FIND. THAT WOULD BE GREAT, IF I HAD THE CASH FLOW FOR IT; AS IT'S NOT CHEAP JUST FOR THEM TO "RUN" THE TEST NOT FIX IT...THAT WILL COST EXTRA. I AM NOT SURE HOW CHEVY FEELS THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS? IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT MY ISSUE IS PLEASE TELL ME SO THAT I CAN HAVE SOME ONE I CAN AFFORD TO PAY, FIX IT. BUYING BULBS IS THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES IF THAT WAS THE ONLY ISSUE. BUT FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S AN ISSUE! I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU, CHEVY, REALIZE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE & REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY HEAD LIGHTS DON'T COME ON RANDOMLY. RANDOMLY THEY DO. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. NO, IT'S NOT LIGHT BULB REPLACEMET ISSUES.....OTHER BLOG SITES HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. VERY DANGEROUS!!!! THE GAS GAUGE ALSO IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE GAS GETS LOW IT BLINKS ON FOR A SECOND THEN ADDS MORE GAS TO THE PANEL. PEOPLE COULD RUN OUT OF GAS UNKNOWINGLY. ALSO VERY DANGEROUS! *TT

THERE ARE SEVERAL DEFECTS ON CHEVY TRAIL BLAZERS MINE IN PARTICULAR IS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL BECAUSE IT STOPPED RECORDING THE SPEED, AMOUNT OF GAS IN MY VEHICLE, ESSENTIAL TO DRIVING SAFETY, PROPER SPEED MAINTENANCE AND ENSURING IT WONT STALL OUT DUE TO LACK OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. IN ADDITION THE NIGHT LIGHTS TURN OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THAT IS DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY CHILDREN WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WHICH I DO OFTEN TO COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK. THERE ARE DIFFERENT DATES FOR THE DEFECTS THE CLUSTER PANEL GAGE WAS PROXIMATELY 6 OR 8 MONTHS OLD, THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED THEY STATED IT WAS NOT HAZARDOUS TO MY DRIVING AND THAT SINCE IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO BEING A 2004 THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS 10% OFF, I FELT IT WAS A HAZARD AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT THEY FIXED AN ISSUE WITH THE TURN SIGNALS BUT NOW MY HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AT NIGHT AND IT IS SCARY TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOUR LIGHTS GO OFF AND YOU CANT SEE A THING.

I WAS JUST READING THE COMPLAINTS & THOUGHT I WOULD SUBMIT A FEW OF MY OWN. GAS FILLLING IS ALWAYS A TASK AS TANK ALWAYS SEEMS TO "OVERFLOW" & GAS SPRAYS OUT EVERYWHERE. I WAS TOLD IT IS BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF FILLER LINE THAT GM USES. HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GOING FROM NORMAL TO DIM, TO DIMMER, THEN BACK TO NORMAL, REGARDLESS OF DRIVING CONDITIONS. SAW THE ONE FROM THE PERSON BEING SHOCKED, THIS TOO HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED TO ME SINCE THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT THE TRAILBLAZER. IF I TOUCH THE METAL OF THE DOOR UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE THERES A LARGE JOLT FROM STATIC ELECTRICITY I ASSUME. THE ARC FROM THIS JOLT IS VERY VISIBLE & I ESTIMATE IT TO 2 INCHES IN LENGTH AT TIMES (LONGER YOUR IN THE VEHILCE...BIGGER THE ARC). ALL THE RUBBER TRIM ON THE BACKHATH HAS COME OFF. PLASTIC LINING USED ON FENDERWELLS CONSTANTLY COMING LOOSE & MUST BE REATACHED. CARPET AROUND PEDALS HAS ALL COME LOOSE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NOV. 1 2004 & IT IS HARDLY BEEN DRIVEN WITH ONLY 6,000 MILES YET SEEMS TO BE FALLING APART ALREADY. *JB

WHEN HEADLAMP BURNED OUT IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR THAT THE BULB PLUGS INTO HAD BURNED AND MELTED. *NM

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS DIM VERY LOW TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME. DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALSO GO VERY LOW. VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP IN APRIL. TECH SAYS CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. CAR TAKEN IN AGAIN THIS TIME CD PLAYER WILL STOP PLAYING IF VOLUME IS TURNED ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR MORE THAT 2 MINS. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT PLAY AGAIN YOU HAVE TO EJECT CD AND REINSERT. RADIO WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ORDERED NEVER RECEIVED IT. CAR TAKEN IN AGAIN THIS TIME DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOUND PROBLEM WITH RADIO AND IT WAS REPLACED ASKED FOR THEM TO CHECK HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. THEY ALSO CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP CD PLAYERS STOPS PLAY AGAIN. SEPT 28, 2005 WHILE AT BANK DRIVE THROUGH CAR STALLS OUT, ABLE TO RESTART CAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM ABOUT THE STALLING OUT, HEADLIGHTS, AND CD PLAYER. AFTER HAVING MY CAR THERE A WEEK AND 3 DAYS THERE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE STALLING OUT WAS BECAUSE THE WAS CARBON BUILD UP IN THROTTLE BODY THIS WAS CLEANED OUT. MY CAR HAS 19,000 MILES AND IS A YEAR OLD I DON;T BELIEVE THIS IS THE PROBLEM. WHILE THERE A NEW CD PLAYER WAS PUT IN, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONE THAT WAS REPLACED BEFORE WAS A REFURBISHED ONE AND IT DIDN'T SURPRISE THEM THAT IT DIDN'T WORK. THE HEADLIGHTS WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE CRAZY AT FIRST AND THEN AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WHICH MEANS WE HAVE A 2ND AIR INTAKE ON IT THAT CAUSES THE ALTERNATOR TO DRAIN CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO DIM. GM HAS TOLD US THIS IS NORMAL!!!!!! I AM SORRY I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MY FAMILY LIVES ON THE LINE BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BUY A NEW CAR IN VIRGINIA THAT WAS MADE IN CALIFORNIA. I LEAVE IN A RURAL AREA NOT THE CITY SO IF I LOSE MY HEADLIGHTS THEN THAT MEANS I CAN'T SEE. THIS DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO THEM. WE DO HAVE A MEETING IN NOV WITH THE NORTHERN AREA MANAGER. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OPERATION OF A CAR NOR SHOULD IT BE DESIGNED TO DO THIS. *NM

MY COMPLAINT IS ON THE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. I HAVE PERSONALLY WITNESSED AT LEAST 8 INSTANCES IN MY AREA WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE TRAILBLAZER DON'T WORK. THE 3RD LIGHT ON TOP OF THE LIFT GATE WORKS, BUT THE REGULAR BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK. EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN BOTH OF THEM NOT WORKING. THAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT ISN'T JUST A BULB BEING BURNT OUT. I HAVE LUCKILY NOT WITNESSED ANY ACCIDENTS RESULTING FROM THIS ISSUE, BUT MY FATHER OWNS A TRAILBLAZER AND IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG ELECTRICALLY CAUSING THIS PROBLEM I DON'T WANT THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN TO HIS RESULTING IN HIM POTENTIALLY BEING REAR ENDED. I SAW ONE ON I94 JUST EAST OF I696 YESTERDAY. I NOTIFIED THE WOMAN AND SHE SAID THAT SHE KNEW SO HOPEFULLY IT IS JUST THE BULBS, BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. *NM

I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHT BULBS ON THE BACK OF MY CAR 3 TIMES AND ASKED THE AGENCY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PART OR CASING AFTER I FOUND A RECALL THAT THE TAILLIGHTS WERE DEFECTIVE. I INFORMED CHEVROLET OF WHERE I FOUND THE RECALLS , I WAS TOLD THIS WEBSITE IS ONLY OPINIONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. I WAS TOLD IN THE AGENCY THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY ON 2003 MODELS AND NOT 2004'S. THE AGENCY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE WHOLE PART ANYWAYS BUT THE NEXT DAY A POLICE OFFICER ALMOST GAVE ME A TICKET BECAUSE HE SAID I FAILED TO INDICATE I WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ON A ONE LANE ROAD. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE AGENCY TWICE FOR THAT PROBLEM AND OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVEN'T REPLACE THE PART. MY CAR IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD AND IT HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS BEYOND THAT ONE. *NM

TURN SIGNAL LIGHT NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER RECALL NOTICE HAS BEEN FIXED. THE SIGNAL LIGHT ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WAS CORRECTED IN NOVEMBER. IT IS NOW JULY AND I'M HAVING THE SAME SIGNAL PROBLEM AGAIN.
