2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Exterior Lighting Problems

FOR SEVERAL YEARS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. NOW, THEY ARE MOSTLY OFF WHICH MEANS I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT ANYMORE UNLESS I WANT TO BLIND PEOPLE OR GET STOPPED. I HAVE CHANGED HEADLAMPS, RELAYS AND FUSES TO NO AVAIL. NOW, I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL SUV HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. IF YOU WILL ISSUE A RECALL FOR ONE YEAR MODEL HAVING A PARTICULAR ISSUE, WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO THE SAME WITH ALL YEAR MODELS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE? COME ON CHEVROLET AND NHTSA, LET'S GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED TO SAVE SOME LIVES. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND A MAJOR PAIN TO HAVE TO BE SURE YOU ARE HOME BY DARK OR NOT BE ABLE TO GO OUT AFTER DARK BECAUSE YOUR HEADLAMPS ARE OR MAY STOP WORKING.

My lights come on and turns off at night sometimes and now My right low beams stopped working. I noticed when I was getting in my car at night.

MOST RECENT, I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT. NOTHING ELSE, JUST THE MAIN HEAD LIGHTS. ALL.OTJER LIGHTS STAY ON. HIGH BEAMS WORK, PARKING LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS IS NOT SAFE!!!

Mileage: 168

LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF SETTING STILL

Mileage: 19,000

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT MY DIM LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REMAINDER OF THE WAY WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS BLINDING CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND IN COMING. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.

Mileage: 90,000

MY GAS GAUGE IS SITTING ON BOTTOM INSTEAD OF TOP WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IN MY CAR. AN I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS AN ONE HAS A HEART CONDITION. AN I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. AN ALSO MY HEAD LIGHTS GO OFF AN ON ALL THE TIME DAY OR NIGHT. *TR

Mileage: 7,156,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF FREQUENTLY. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE ACTIVATED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOM GILL CHEVROLET (7830 COMMERCE DR, FLORENCE, KY 41042, (859) 371-7566). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,800. *TT CONSUMER STATED HE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2006 OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM, HIS WAS ON 2005.*JB

Mileage: 91,800

I HAVE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS,BUT I DONT HAVE MY REGULAR HEADLIGHTS,SOMTIMES THEY COME ON THEN THEY GO OUT,IVE CHANGED THE MODULE UNDER THE HOOD & IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING,IT HAPPENS WHEN IM GOING DOWN THE ROAD

Mileage: 100,000

WHILE DRIVING LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. HIGH BEAMS WILL WORK. SOMETIMES LOW BEAMS WILL COME BACK ON DURING SAME TRIP. REPLACED HDM MODULE PER ISSUES WITH 2006 BUT HEADLIGHTS STILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING.

Mileage: 80,000

BOTH HEADLAMPS WENT OUT SAME NIGHT. HIGH BEAMS WORK. CHECKED FUSES ALL ARE FINE. VERY DANGEROUS AS HIGH BEAMS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE USED IN THIS FASHION. I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS ON SAME MODEL OTHER YEARS.

Mileage: 115,951

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON AT NIGHT.

Mileage: 50,000

WHEN LEAVING WORK AT NIGHT ON 8/21/18, STARTED THE CAR AND THE LOW BEAMS CAME ON, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT OFF. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. HAD TO DRIVE HOME USING THE FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS. HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A WEEK. DOESN'T SEEM SAFE. SEE THAT LOTS OF TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. LOOKS LIKE RECALL BEGINS WITH THE 2006 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 113,000

LEAVING FROM WORK AT NIGHT AND WHEN CAR INITIALLY WAS TURNED ON, THE LOW BEAMS ILLUMINATED, BUT THEN WENT OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME USING FOG LAMPS AND HIGH BEAMS ONLY. THEY NEVER DID COME ON IN A 25 MINUTE DRIVE. I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, AND IT APPEARS THAT THE 2006 ARE IN A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT NOT THE 2005. VERY UNSAFE! MY KIDS ARE SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE!

Mileage: 113,000

THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AFTER A WHILE OF USE AS IF THE OVER HEAT AND GO OFF ONCE THEY COOL OFF THEY COME BACK ON BUT THEY GO OFF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS OF USE. ONLY THE BRIGHTS WILL WORK AT THIS TIME. SO NOT ONLY IS IT A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME THAT MY LIGHTS JUST GO OFF OUT OF NOWHERE THEN I HAVE TO TURN MY BRIGHTS ON WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHER PEOPLE AND AGAINST THE WALL YOU HAVE A RECALL ON THE 2006 MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHY WOULD YOU NOT HAVE THE RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS THE SAME ISSUE THEY GO OFF ON BACK ROADS THEY GO OFF ON THE HIGHWAY THEY GO OFF IN THE CITY THEY GO OFF IN THE COUNTRY THEY GO OFF ANYWHERE THAT I'M DRIVING ANYTIME THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THAT WILL GO OFF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF USE WHETHER THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN OR IT IS STATIONARY. THIS IMHAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FOR MANY YEARS BUT I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT IT FOR MYSELF AND I FEEL IT'S AN ISSUE THAT YOU ALL SHOULD RESOLVE I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE

THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I CAN'T SEEM TO TURN THEM BACK ON, I HAVE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I TUN THE SWITCH ON AND OFF AND NOTHING HAPPENS, I'VE HAD THE FUSSED AND HEADLIGHTS CHANGED AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A SOLUTION. THE SEEM TO JUST GO ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. THIS IF A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I HAVE FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY CHEVY OWNER THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND I'S SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS UNSAFE DEFECT!

Mileage: 45,000

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE THE HEADLAMP LOW BEAMS JUST GO OUT. I HAVE MOVED RELAYS AROUND BUT IT DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY POLICE SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE I AM BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS LIT. I SEE THEY RECALLED THE 2006 AND LATER MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WORK AT A SHOP AND WE SEE , ON AVERAGE, 10 PER YEAR THAT ARE 2005 AND THAT'S JUST IN OUR SMALL COMMUNITY. IF I SET A HALF HOUR, SOMETIMES AN HOUR THEN THE DIMS START WORKING AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS MAY 5TH OF 2018

Mileage: 155,000

LOW BEAMS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOT EVERY MORNING BUT 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK THIS HAPPENS TO ME. IT IS DANGEROUS BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY SCARE ME ANYMORE. IT HAS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN I STOP AT THE END OF MY ROAD.

Mileage: 180,000

MY HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE ANYTHING. LOOKED ONLINE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE YET NO RECALLS WHEN ENTERING MY VIN. THANK YOU.

Mileage: 110,000

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AND THE RELAY SWITCH. THEY WILL WORK FOR A WHILE AND THEN WILL GO OUT AGAIN. SOMETIMES THEY WILL COME BACK ON. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS WILL WORK ONCE IN A WHILE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A FEW YEARS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY LIGHTS BACK ON AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE 2005 SEEMS TO BIG A BIG ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. THE DATE I SELECTED BELOW FOR WHEN THIS HAPPENED IS THE MOST RECENT.

Mileage: 1,800,000

I WAS DRIVING IN THE DARK AND MY AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. I PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO GET THEM BACK ON. I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH TWO TRACTOR TRAILORS TO MY RIGHT AND TRAFFIC TO MY LEFT. SUDDENLY IT WENT DARK. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I GOT AROUND THE TRUCKS AND PULLED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. BEFORE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEY TURNED ON AND STAYED ON. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IN THE DARK A LONG DISTANCE UNTIL THE OTHER NIGHT. MY HEADLIGHTS MAY HAVE BEEN TURNING OFF AND ON IN THE DAYLIGHT WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. I CHECKED AND THERE WASN'T ANY OPEN RECALLS. ALTHOUGH THE 2006 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING.

HEADLIGHTS ON 2005 TRAILBLAZER GO OUT OCCASIONALLY WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED AND DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES.

Mileage: 207,000

WHILE DRIVING THE DIM LIGHTS TURN OFF BY THEM SELVES. NOW THEY WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED RELAYS AND FUSES. NO HELP.

Mileage: 177,480

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IN THE DARK. HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME FRAME, BUT GENERALLY IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM 10- 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I SUSPECT IT IS HEAT RELATED. I HAVE CHANGED THE HEADLIGHT RELAY #46, BIT IT ONLY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A WEEK. AGAIN THE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MINUTES. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. COULD THIS BE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THERE ARE ALSO MULTIPLE FORUMS EXPLAINING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH EARLY 2000 MODEL TRAILBLAZERS. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO. LAST WEEK WE RAN INTO ANOTHER PROBLEM. OUR ABS LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. LIKE THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME ANYWHERE FROM 10 MINUTES TO 30 MINUTES. AGAIN, I FEEL IT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS/WIRING IS OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THESE ISSUES. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS THIS ISSUE AS IT IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS USA WIDE.

Mileage: 95,000

WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES THE HEAD LIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT OR DIMMED A LOT.

Mileage: 114,000

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT RELAY. THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ON DIM OCCASIONALLY. THE LIGHTS WILL ALSO STAY ON WHEN THE SWITCH IN SHUT OFF. THEY WILL ALSO COME BACK ON AFTER GOING OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR 2006 MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NONE FOR THE 2005. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 140,000

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2009. IT HAD ABOUT 60000 MILES ON IT. 1) THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WITH IT WAS A BURNOUT OF THE HAC BLOWER PLUG, THAT PART OF THE WIRING HARNESS HAD TO BE CUT OUT AND REPLACED WTH A COMPLETELY NEW PLUG( BOTH HALVES) AND REWIRED IN FOR A COST OF 125.OO AND 3 HOURS OF LABOUR. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET VERY COMMON PROBLEM 2) RIDER SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL STOPPED WORKING WITH STRONG ODOR OF BURNT PLASTIC. AGAIN LOOKED UP AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT ONLY 2006 VEHICLES 3)BRAKES BURN OUT OF ROTORS ONLY ON RIGHTSIDE- LEFT SIDE ROTORS WERE FINE, BRAKE JOB WITH REPLACEMENT OF 2 LEFT ROTORS I FRONT PISTON AMD ALL 8 PADS 650.00. FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET 4) FAILURE OF IGNITION SWITCH WITH ERRATIC ELECTRICAL FUNCTION OF RUNNING LIGHTS, RADIO AND DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTATION. HAPPENED ON THE ROAD EARLY TWILIGHT VERY DANGEROUS HAD TO GET A LOCAL TOLL FOR 75.00 ALL OF THESE FAILURES HAVE MADE ME VERY WARY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THEY OCCURRED AT VARIOUS TIMES OVER LAST 4YEAR SOME HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AS NOTED ABOVE. PRESENTLY WAITING FOR IGNITON SYSTEM REPAIR.

Mileage: 105,000

PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES OVER THE 5 YEARS WE'VE OWNED IT. HAD A RELAY SWITCHED OUT THAT HELPED FOR A LITTLE BIT. ALSO HAD TO CHANGE THE WIRING RIGHT BY THE HEADLIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS BURNT UP. WE TOOK IT TO CHEVY IN DEVILS LAKE, ND. I SEEM TO NOTICE OTHER TRAILBLAZERS DRIVING AROUND WITH THE SAME HEADLIGHT BURNT OUT. *TR

DAY/DIM LIGHTS KEPT GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT DARK. AND NOW THEY WONT COME ON AT ALL. HAVING TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON. JUST WANDERING WHAT DO I DO. OR HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO FIX IT . IM TIRED OF GETTING BRIGHT LIGHTED FROM OTHER CARS THAT I PASS. THERE'S BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THERE. NOT SURE ON THE DATE BELOW, JUST AND ESTIMATE. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS AND GAUGES KEEP DIMMING WHILE DRIVING.THEY WILL FLASH.THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN COME BACK ON AFTER A MINUTE OR SO.IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME TROUBLE.THE 2006 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE 2005 MODELS WERE NOT.WHY WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUES?THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THE LIGHTS GOING OFF CAUSING A WRECK.THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ALLOT EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRAILBLAZER SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

Mileage: 100,000

THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE REPLACED THE HDM SOLID STATE RELAY TWICE, BUT AFTER A TIME. 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR, THE FAILURE OCCURS AGAIN. ONCE THE HDM MODULE BECAME TO HOT TO TOUCH UPON FAILING. THIS LAST TIME, THE THIRD, THE LIGHTS MAY COME ON AGAIN AFTER SOME TIME HAS PASSED. IT IS AS IF THE MODULE IS SHORT CIRCUITING OR OVERHEATING LEADING TO A SHORT CIRCUIT.

Mileage: 243,000

OCCASIONALLY HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I SEE THAT 2006-07 WERE RECALLED BUT MANY OTHERS WITH A 2005 ALSO COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING.

Mileage: 115,000

2005 HAS THE SAME HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTION AS THE 2006 HEADLIGHT GO OUT BY THEMSELVES, THUS CAUSING A UNSAFE CONDITION ON THE HWY. THEY SHOULD BE ON RECALL TOO. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE I 1 OWNER HAD VEHICLE.

Mileage: 5

MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS LOW BEAMS COME ON AND OFF, I REPLACED THE DRIVER CONTROL MODULE RELAY, THE BULBS, FUSES UNDER THE HOOD, AND THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH. MY LIGHT'S STILL COME ON AND OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW ABOUT THIS MATTER. PLEASE HELP ME. IT HAPPENS ON STATIONARY, IN MOTION ON CITY AND HIGHWAY STREET AT RANDOM. I HAVE NOTHING TO UPLOAD THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE BY ME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR JUST ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW, I CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT.

Mileage: 12,600

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS GO OUT COMPLETELY. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK AND ARE THE ONLY OPTION FOR GETTING HOME. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE WERE TRAVELING AWAY FROM HOME. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND REALIZED THAT WE HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FROM LOOKING ONLINE - THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITHOUT A SOLUTION. SHOP CAN'T HELP UNLESS THEY ARE DOING IT AT THE TIME.

Mileage: 135,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED AND ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS ALSO ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE WHEN ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. VERY SCARY

LOW BEAM LIGHTING WAS OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON AT 2030. IT DID NOT COME ON WHILE DRIVING (20 MINUTES) SO I HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS. I DID CHECK MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING.

Mileage: 131,500

I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AT DARK AND MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE WORKING. AFTER EXITING THE PARKING LOT TO THE ROAD, I NOTE THAT THE LOW BEAMS WERE OUT. I THEN HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH TOWN ON THE BUSIEST ROADS WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 2100 AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 70'S.

Mileage: 131,500

WHILE DRIVING AFTER DARK, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR SOME TIME. THE LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL THE CAR WAS LEFT PARKED OVERNIGHT.

Mileage: 131,000

WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON I-75 IN MICHIGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 9:10 PM ON AUGUST 16, 2015, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT NEAR MILE MARKER 180. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS REMAINED OFF UNTIL AFTER I EXITED I-75 AT THE SOUTHBOUND 155 EXIT. AFTER LEAVING THE EXIT AND DRIVING AN ADDITIONAL 4 MILES, I AGAIN TRIED THE LOW BEAMS AND THEY WORKED. I LATER GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE (AFTER IT WAS OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES) AND THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE AGAIN OFF. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON AND I LEFT THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE FUNCTIONING AGAIN. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE EXECUTIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE AT GM AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL AND THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT.

Mileage: 131,000

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO NOTICE. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS ON LAWNDALE/7 MILE ROAD IN SAGINAW COUNTY MICHIGAN IN JUNE 2014. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, MOST RECENTLY ON 8/8/15 ON GREENWOOD ROAD IN ALGER MI. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS GO OUT FOR NO REASON AND CANNOT BE TURNED BACK ON. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WILL WORK. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WILL LATER TURN ON ON THEIR OWN. IT GENERALLY TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED ON DARK, COUNTY ROADS WHICH INCREASE THE DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE AND OTHER PASSENGERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEIR EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT WHILE THE ISSUE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR, BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN JUNE 2005 IT IS NOT COVERED.

Mileage: 120,000

THE DIM HEADLIGHTS WILL START FLASHING FOR NO APPARANT REASON.

Mileage: 117,000

LIGHTS GO OUT/DIM WHILE DRIVING. NO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL ITEMS IN USE-HEATER, AC, GPS, RADIO, CIGARETTE LIGHTER. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED OR CAUSED BY SPEED, ACCELERATION, DECELERATION. FULE TANK WILL SOMETIMES REGISTER EMPTY WHILE MOSTLY FULL. DO NOT NOTICE PROBLEM DURING DAYLIGHT DRIVING.

Mileage: 74,000

WHILE DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT AROUND 9:30 PM FROM THE LOCAL WAL-MART, I TURNED OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY/PUBLIC STREET AND MY HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON NO MATTER WHAT I DID. I WENT HOME THINKING MY LIGHTS WERE COMPLETELY OUT BUT WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE AND HIT THE HIGH BEAMS THEY WORKED JUST FINE. MY LOW BEAMS DID NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL EARLY THE NEXT MORNING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR

Mileage: 125,826

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE HEAD LIGHTS AND NOTICED THEY WERE MELTED ON THE INSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

Mileage: 108,000

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY NOW. THEY HAVE GONE OUT INTERMITTENTLY BEFORE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL ON THURSDAY, APRIL 9TH, 2015, AND HAVE NOT COME ON SINCE THEN. *TR

Mileage: 114,000

THE HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN SHUT OFF. (ON THE WAY TO WORK IN A DOWNPOUR, NO LESS) DASHBOARD LIGHTS PARTIALLY WORKING. (IF I GO OVER 40 MPG CAN'T TELL WHAT MY SPEED IS) WAS WORKING CORRECTLY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW NOTHING. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2006-20XX (NHTSA 14V755000 ) JUST WONDERING, AFTER FINDING ON THE INTERNET, NUMEROUS 2005 OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM, WHY THIS MODEL WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS? I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM OF THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED AND INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

Mileage: 160,107

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS WILL MALFUNCTION AND TURN ON AND OFF, AT RANDOM DRIVING SPEEDS UNDER MANY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRAILBLAZER EVEN AFTER THIS OCCURRED. JUST NOT AS OFTEN. IF THE HEATER WAS ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD SHORT THE HEATER WOULD STOP AND THEN TURN BACK ON. THE FAN TURNS ON AT RANDOM, FIRST IT TURNS ON WHEN DRIVING AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FAN WILL TURN ON AT RANDOM TIMES WITH A HIGHER SPEED AND SOUND. I HAVE HAD THE INSPECTION COMPLETED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A MECHANIC RE-ASSURING THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME DUE TO COMPUTER ERROR AND IS A $500.00 FIX. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED AND BEEN REPORTED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM KENDAL MOTORS IN LEWISTON IDAHO. I FIND THAT THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO FIX THIS VEHICLE IS OVERWHELMING AND TO SEE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS UNDER 100.000 MILES IS FINANCIALLY DISTRESSING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE FUEL PUMP PORTION REMOVED AND FIXED TWICE, I HAD TO PURCHASE A LOCKING CAP. THE STEREO REPEATEDLY JAMS WITH NEW CD'S EVEN. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE FLASHED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST. ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER 2, 2014, WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I TURNED ON MY FOG LAMPS TO GET HOME. I CHECKED ALL FUSES AND RELAYS AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. I ALSO TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO SECURED A LOOSE GROUND WIRE. THIS DID NOT HELP. THEN I HEARD THAT GM WAS DOING A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT IT IS FOR MODELS 2006-2007, AND MINE IS A 2005. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHEN THEY KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE. *TR

WHILE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO 4X4 HI, LO, OR ALL WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRANSFER CASE NEVER DOES FULLY PUT IT INTO 4X4. WHILE DRIVING, THE DIM LIGHTS TURN COMPLETELY OFF. THE BRIGHTS WORK, BUT THE DIMS DO NOT. THESE WILL NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF OR A PROPER BUMP IS HIT. THE HEATER BLOWER IN THE FRONT SOMETIMES WILL NIT COME ON. THE BACK WILL BE BLOWING, NOT THE FRONT. ALSO IF A BUMP IS HIT IMPROPERLY, THE BACK SPEAKERS WILL START BUZZING. *TR

Mileage: 87,000

MULTIPLE TIMES MY TRAILBLAZER HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM IN A STOPPED POSITION. WHETHER IT IS AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST STOPPING IN GENERAL. IT TAKES A MINUTE AND THEN RESTARTS. *JS IT HAS ALSO MULTIPLE TIMES LOST HEAD LIGHTS. THE LAST TIME WAS AT 9PM WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND THE ONLY WAY MY LIGHTS WOULD WORK WAS IF I HELD MY HIGH BEAMS ON.

Mileage: 10,000

THE DATE, MILEAGE AND MPH WERE EITHER ESTIMATED OR JUST UT IN SINCE OPTIONS DID NOT INCLUDE "UNKNOWN". WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES TURNS OFF. ONLY THE LOWBEAMS TURN OFF, BUT WHEN DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS IT IS DANGEROUS BUT NECESSARY (ESPECIALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAYS). I CALLED GM AND THEY PRETTY MUCH CLAIMED THAT NO ONE HAD EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. BUT I DID RESEARCH AND IT HAPPENS A LOT. *TR

THE POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS, RADIO, DOME LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER. SEEMS LIKE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *TR

I WENT INTO TOWN TO GRAB DINNER AND AS I AM DRIVING ALONG, MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINED ON, WERE THE ORANGE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS. I FRANTICALLY TURNED THE HEADLIGHT KNOB ON AN OFF AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY, HOWEVER IT WAS NIGHT TIME AND I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I ENDED UP PULLING OVER TO THE GRAVEL SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. NOW I AM STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT TIME, WITH NO WORKING HEADLIGHTS. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT, TAPPED THE HEADLIGHTS AND LOOKED FOR ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND DID NOT FIND AN ANSWER. UPON STARTING THE CAR AGAIN, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TURNED ON A VACUUM CLEANER. THE NOISE PITCHED UP FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE PITCHING BACK DOWN. AFTER RE-STARTING THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MOVED FROM ITS NORMAL POSITION AT "12 O'CLOCK" TO AN ABNORMAL "6 O'CLOCK". I TRIED TO CALL ONSTAR FOR A VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC, HOWEVER NOW MY RADIO WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. I TRIED THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN, AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT TURN ON. I TURNED ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND PROCEEDED BACK HOME. WHILE EN ROUTE MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 10MPH OVER MY ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 10MPH. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE AS A COINCIDENCE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I LOST THE ABILITY TO SEE AT NIGHT, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO MONITOR MY SPEED ALL WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE MOTORISTS WHO WERE BLINDED BY MY HIGH BEAMS ON THE WAY BACK. *TR

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT(AND DURING THE DAY), WITHIN (15-20 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE) MY HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND DO NOT COME BACK ON FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I USUALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME(15-60 MINUTES). THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND I CAN NOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. BUT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH THAT THIS POSES A GREAT SAFETY RISK TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

Mileage: 60,000

WHILE DRIVING IT APPEARS THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE RECEIVING A SURGE OF POWER WHICH CAUSES THEM TO BLINK AS IF I AM FLASHING MY HEADLIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. SINCE THIS HAS STARTED I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY HEADLIGHTS ABOUT EVERY 6 TO 8 MONTHS. AFTER THE THIRD TIME I REPLACED THE SAME HEADLIGHT MY MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE FUSE AND STATED THAT IT SEEMS THERE IS A SURGE OF POWER THAT CAUSES THE FUSES TO BLOW. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT MY HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BLINK ON THEIR OWN EVERY NOW AND THEN AND WE DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MID 2000 MODEL TRAILBLAZERS. I CONTACTED GM TO MAKE THEM AWARE WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A, "SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE". I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH MY DOOR ELECTRONICS. YOU CAN HEAR THE POWER WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AS IF THEY ARE BEING ENGAGED WITHOUT BEING OPERATED. THE SPEAKERS IN THE DOORS DO NOT WORK AFTER IT RAINS OR IN VERY HUMID CONDITIONS. THE POWER WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCK BUTTON LIGHTS WORK ON AND OFF AND BLINK. THE DOOR/KEY CHIME RARELY WORKS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS MODEL. I RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL STARTING WITH 2006 MODELS WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND I REALLY BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ISOLATED TO THE ELECTRONICS IN THE DOOR, BUT THE OVERALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS CONSIDER AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL INTO THE FULL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE AS IT COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD RISKING FIRE. *TR

THE TRAILBLAZER I BOUGHT SEEM TO BE MORE OF A HEADACHE THE A SPORT VEHICLE. I WISH I HAD LOOK BETTER AT ALL THE INFORMATION THE WAS OUT THERE. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE, OR RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. SORRY I BOUGHT IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY WENT TO 100 MILES AN HOUR. I KNEW THIS COULD NOT BE THE CASE AS MY GPS SHOWED I WAS TRAVELING AT 55MPH. IT THEN WENT TO 120MILES AN HOUR AND FLIP. FLOPPED BACK AND FORTH. I WENT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS, CHEVROLET WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. THE COST TO ME WOULD BE OVER $500 I LIVE ON A SMALL SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK, SO COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR IT. NEXT AT 85,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE WENT HAYWIRE AND WOULD NOT REGISTER ANY FUEL ALTHOUGH I WOULD FILL IT COMPLETELY. ALSO, THE LIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON WHEN I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT, SO, I AM AFRAID I WILL BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE IN THE DARK WITH MY CAR QUITTING ALL TOGETHER. THIS WAS MY LAST CAR PURCHASE BEFORE I RETIRED AND I AM JUST SICK THAT THE CHEVROLET COMPANY WILL NOT FIX THESE DEFECTS...THEY FIX THE SAME CLUSTER IN THEIR CHEVROLET TRUCKS....WHY NOT IN THE CARS? BY THE WAY, I JUST GOT A LETTER LAST WEEK SAYING THEY WOULD "SPLIT THE COST " TO FIX THE FUEL GAUGE...(MY COST IS $200 1/3 OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!! *TR

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE MY HEADLIGHTS (ONLY) WILL NOT COME ON AT NIGHT OR THEY WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. AGAIN IT IS ONLY MY HEADLIGHTS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. ONE DAY IT WILL DO THAT AND THE NEXT DAY IT WON'T SO OF COARSE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT EVERYTHING IS FINE. HOWEVER I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE BECAUSE OF THE WEB SEARCHES I HAVE DONE ON THE ISSUE I CAN SEE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. *TT

FIRST WAS THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT CAUGHT FIRE AND BLEW FUSES, THEN I GET POWER SURGES THAT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RANDOMLY AT THE WORST TIMES AND/OR WILL ALSO STALL OUT, WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS OR END IN A FATAL ACCIDENT, IT DROPS IN RPMS AND LIGHTS DIM THEN IT ACCELERATES... AND THE LAST THING IS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES DRAMATICALLY AND YOU CAN NEVER TELL HOW MUCH FUEL YOU REALLY HAVE... DRIVE 10 MILES AT QUARTER OF A TANK AND IT EITHER STAYS CLOSE TO THE SAME SPOT OR DROPS AND THE LIGHT COMES ON FOR LOW FUEL. *TR

Mileage: 7,600

HEADLIGHTS JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. PULLING OVER AND FLICKING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF FOR A WHILE USUALLY GETS THEM BACK ON. EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE CURRENT PROBE INTO THE SAME MODEL YEAR OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER MINIVANS! *TR

SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE HOW FAST SHE WAS TRAVELING OR WHETHER OR NOT SHE HAD A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ALSO SHUT OFF ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS WHICH CAUSED HER TO CHANGE THE BULBS FREQUENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAD IT BEEN REPAIRED.

I BOUGHT A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, IT ONLY HAD 49,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE RIGHT TAILLIGHT IS NOT WORKING, IT HASN'T WORKED SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM TWICE AND IT JUST NEEDS TEARING UP. I FEEL THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE A LOT OF DEATHS BECAUSE A PERSON CAN NOT TELL IF YOUR SLOWING DOWN AND CAUSE A WRECK. I FEEL LIKE CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MINE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT IS TORE UP AROUND MY SMALL TOWN OF 17,000 PEOPLE. I HAVE NOTICED AT LEAST 5 MORE JUST IN THIS TOWN THAT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY EITHER. *TR

IN 2006 WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS NORMAL. NOW WHEN DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS WILL CUTOFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AND WILL THEN CUT BACK ON. IT CAN BE AFTER DRIVING FOR 2 MINUTES OR 30 MINUTES. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE "REGULAR" HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT. FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND OIL PRESSURE GAGE DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I CAN BE STOPPED AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW I AM GOING X MPH. IT VARIES ON THE AMOUNT OF MILES THE SPEEDOMETER IS OFF. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ALWAYS SITS BELOW THE LOW LINE. THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT CORRECT BUT DOES MOVE. THIS VEHICLE IS A PEACE OF JUNK.

Mileage: 36,000

MY EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING AND STAY OFF FOR 1-10 MINUTES. THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE CAR ACTUALLY DOES IT WHILE THEY HAVE THE CAR. IT ONLY DOES IT EVERY FEW WEEKS, SOMETIMES A COUPLE OF MONTHS. *TR

Mileage: 85,500

I WAS AT THE GAS STATION FILLING MY TANK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND THEN THE LOW FUEL WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON IN THE MESSAGE CENTER ALONG WITH THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR BY THE FUEL GAUGE. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND ON AND THE WARNING MESSAGE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYED ON. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE, IT EVENTUALLY GOES OFF, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER MORE THAN A 1/4 OF A TANK EVEN WHEN FILLED UP AND THE WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON ALONG WITH THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR AS SOON AS I START THE TRUCK AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND WHEN THE TRUCK IS IDLING, THE LOW FUEL MESSAGE AND LIGHT COME ON. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK IS THAT THE LIGHTING SYSTEM DIMS WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN I BOUGHT THIS ISSUE UP AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK, BUT DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

NO CRASH OR INJURY, BUT AM REALLY AFRAID OF SOMETHING HAPPENING WITH MY SON IN THE SUV.

I REACHED 55,000 MILES ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAIZER. NOW, MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT STICKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT EVEN MOVE OFF THE 0MPH. BETTER YET, MY HEAD LIGHTS ARE RANDOMLY TURNING OFF. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONE A DAY. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CHEVY CAN TELL ME THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT LIVE IN A PLACE THAT HAST DAY LIGHT 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK AND AM FORCED TO DRIVE DURING THE NIGHT HOURS. IF MY LIGHTS ARE OUT AND AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED, I WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I'M SURE I WILL EVENTUALLYG ET PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE, IT'S JUST I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR. WHAT DO I EXPLAIN TO THE OFFICER, "SORRY MY LIGHTS ARE OUT AND NO, I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING?" THIS IS A JOKE! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET , YET CHEVY WILL NOT ADMIT TO THIS "CLUSTER" ISSUE BEING RELATED TO SAFETY? SO WHEN I GET TICKETS FROM THE POLICE, FAIL MY MASSACHUSETTS STATE INSPECTION AND MAYBE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, DO I FORWARD ALL BILLS TO CHEVY? AND IF A LIFE IS LOST, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RELACE THAT? WHY CAN'T THEY JUST RECALL THIS ISSUE BEFORE THIS HAPPENS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED YET? *TR

I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I AM ASTOUNDED THAT THERE IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ADDRESSING THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE USE OF THE HEADLIGHTS! I WOULD THINK THAT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WOULD BE A DEFINITE SAFETY RISK! *TR

HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY 'FLASH' FOR A SECOND DURING FIRST 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. HAVE REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND IDLER PULLEY. GM SUGGESTS LETTING VEHICLE IDLE 1+ MINUTE AFTER START BEFORE ENGAGING GEAR; THIS SOMETIMES WORKS. DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING TO OTHER MOTORISTS, AS IT APPEARS TO THEM LIKE MY VEHICLE IS FLASHING ITS HIGHBEAMS. *TR

THE DEALER MADE REPAIRS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN 48 HOURS. THE DEALER FOUND WIRING IN A DIFFERENT AREA THAT FAILED AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT SHOWS *BELOW* ZERO WHEN I'M MOVING. LAST NIGHT, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 65-70MPH, I ASSUME, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 30. WHEN DECELERATING, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STICK AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, AND THEN JERK DOWN SUDDENLY. MY TRAILBLAZER ONLY HAS ABOUT 53,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE BEGINNING AT 30K, BUT MOST KICK IN AT AROUND 50K. I AM CALLING THE SHOP TODAY. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, IT'S RELATED TO A FAULTY STEPPER MOTOR. IF I AM ABLE TO UPDATE THIS REPORT, I WILL. HOWEVER, I THINK THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND AM NOT GOING TO WAIT TO REPORT IT UNTIL AFTER THE REPAIR; I'VE SEEN AT LEAST 40 (I STOPPED COUNTING) OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER IN 05 TRAILBLAZERS ON ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM (I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH DIMMING LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS FLASHING AT NIGHT). *TR

I TOO NOTICE IT MORE IN THE COLDER MONTHS. I AGREE -THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAY NOTHING CAN BE DONE. PURCHASED THIS SUV BRAND NEW, HAD PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING. TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD BE ASHAMED. *TR

MASSIVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 1. WHILE GOING 10 MILES AN HOUR, THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPS TO 120MPH THEN TO 50MPH THEN TO 120MPH AGAIN. 2. WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE GAS GAUGE STATES THAT THE TANK IS STILL EMPTY THEN MOVES TO FULL THEN TO A 1/4 THEN TO FULL THEN TO HALF ETC... 3. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS GO HIGHBEAM TO LOW BEAM AS IF I AM MANUALLY FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT OTHER CARS. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME MODEL OF CHEVROLET SUV AND THAT GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. -I CALLED GM AND ADVISED THEM OF THE ENTIRE ISSUE. THEY ADVISED ME TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AS THIS WAS NEEDED BEFORE THEY COULD HELP ME. -I WENT TO THE DEALER AND PAID $115 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC, NEEDLESS TO SAY THE REPAIRS THAT THE DEALER FOUND RANGER OVER $3000.00 DOLLARS. -I THEN CALLED GM BACK AND THEY TOOK THE INFORMATION THAT THE DEALER GAVE ME (DONNA AT 1-866-790-5700 X21153) -I JUST GOT A CALL BACK FROM GM STATING THAT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON THE SUV THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING (THEY KNEW ABOUT THE MILEAGE BEFORE THEY SENT ME TO THE DEALERSHIP!). SO I WASTED $115 DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT NEEDED BY GM, AND THE FACT THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE MILEAGE TO START OFF WITH IS A WAY TO LET THE DEALER MAKE SOME MONEY OFF THE CONSUMER. *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. ALSO WHILE DRIVING MY LIGHTS WILL DIM AND THE BLOWER FOR HEAT & A/C WILL SLOW AND THEN PICK UP TO NORMAL SPEED AGAIN. IT ALSO REVS BY ITSELF, EVEN IN PARK AND WILL GO FORWARD SLIGHTLY WHEN IT DOES SURGE. THESE PROBLEMS ONLY STARTED AFTER THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE LIGHTS FLICKERING AND ENGINE SURGES. *TR

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WORKS YET THE OTHER TWO BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT. THE BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. ALSO, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER TO HIGH BEAM AT NIGHT FOR NO REASON. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE AN 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT THE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY ARE FLASHING. THEY DIM AND THEN COME VERY BRIGHT AGAIN NON-STOP. THIS CAN NOT BE SAFE BECAUSE FOR SEVERAL INSTANCES THEY ARE SO DIM THAT YOU CAN'T SEE IN THE DARK. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND GM SAID IT WAS NORMAL WHEN THE FAN KICKS ON. WELL IT IS NOT NORMAL OR IS IT SAFE. I CAN NOT MANUALLY FLICK THE LIGHTS AS FAST AS THEY FLICKER WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND GM NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR IT. *TR

I CONTACTED GM WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL TO WARRANT A RECALL. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THE FAILURE IN THE MODELS BEING RECALLED ARE THE SAME AS THOSE IN TRAILBLAZERS. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS THE DIMMING/FLICKERING LIGHTS AT NIGHT. GM HAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT THAT SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. THERE HAS TO BE A REASON FOR THESE ISSUES. I DON'T CALL LOSING LIGHTS AT NIGHT NORMAL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN OR IDLING, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT NIGHT WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT OFF, ONLY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON SIX OCCASIONS. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE DEALER REPLACED ONE OF THE CIRCUIT PANELS, BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONTINUES TO FAIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS GIVING THEM THE RUN AROUND AFTER EXTENDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES. SHE ALSO STATED THAT THERE HAS BEEN ELECTRICAL FAILURE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. UPDATED 12/04/07 *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHCLE DIMME D INTERMITANTLY. IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND OFTEN WHEN I REMOVE THE FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL. IT MAY HAPPEN ONE NIGHT AND NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL 3 TO 4 NIGHTS FROM THEN. *AK IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS 4 TIMES. ONCE, THEY STATED IT WAS A BAD GROUND, NEXT TIME THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY AND THE NEXT TIME THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THEN I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED OUT THE ALTERNATOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OTHER DRIVERS ALNG WITH MYSELF BECAUSE OF THE BLINKING HEADLIGHTS. THE AMP METER OF THE DASHBOARD FLUCTUATES WHEN THIS OCCURS.

IN MARCH 2007 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON . I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP EITHER CLOGGED, NOT RUNNING OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WITH IT. EVER SINCE THEN ALL THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS BECAME BRIGHT THEN DIMMED FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. AFTER LEAVING FOR WORK AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE TO TURN, AND THEN AGAIN A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE HEADLAMPS STARTED TO FLICKER. SOMETIMES IT FLICKERED A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO WORK , ONLY 25 MINUTES FROM HOME. I HAVE NOTICED THE BATTERY GAUGE FLUCTUATED WHILE THIS IS HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. ALSO, I AM NOT SURE THIS WAS RELATED, BUT EVER SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE"LIGHT PROBLEM THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT DIDN'T WORK ON 5, BUT IT DID BLOW SOME ON THE OTHER LEVELS, AND THAT VARIED TOO. I HAVE HAD THE AIR CONDITIONING RECHARGED, TO NO AVAIL, IT ACTED LIKE THERE WAS A LEAK SOMEWHERE. HOPEFULLY ,GM OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL FIND THE SOLUTION BEFORE THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR EVEN A CASE OF ROAD RAGE DUE TO OTHER DRIVERS THINKING I WA S FLASHING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS AT THEM. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT GM SAYS IT IS NORMAL AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN REGARDING THIS. HOW SAFE CAN IT BE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH HEADLIGHTS DIMMING OUT? *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HEADLIGHTS DIMMED WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO DEALER, THEY STATED IT WAS NORMAL DUE TO AN AIR PUMP TURNING ON AND OFF. I FELT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO OTHER DRIVER'S THINKING I AM FLASHING THE HEADLIGHTS AT THEM. THAT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES A WEEK WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE FOUND ONLINE MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THE LINK BELOW HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TUCLLQK4UIF5NA0UT. AK

THE HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN IDLING BUT MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE CHECKED THE PROBLEM AND PERFORMED ALL APPLICABLE TSBS AND REPLACED THE BCM WITH NO DIFFERENCE IN THE PROBLEM. THE LIGHTS WILL DIM ENOUGH THAT WHEN DRIVING ON DARK COUNTRY ROADS I AM NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE EDGES OF THE ROAD. TECH SUPPORT CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM. *JB

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER'S HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED ON AND OFF. **CC SOMETIMES THE FLICKERING LAST FOR A FEW SECONDS OTHER TIMES IT HAS LASTED UP TO 10 MIN. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT STATED THERE WAS A TSB FROM CHEVROLET WHICH STATED THE FLICKERING WAS NORMAL. THEREFORE THERE WERE NO REPAIRS ATTEMPTED. THE BRAKES PULSATED DUE TO RUST ON THE ROTORS. *NM

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER - VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FLICKER WHILE OPERATING. CONDITION EXISTS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED RESULTING IN A SAFETY HAZARD TO BOTH THE DRIVER, OCCUPANTS AND OTHER MOTORISTS. CHEVROLET REPRESENTATIVES HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR, AIR PUMP AND FIXED A POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL GROUND WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. AT THIS POINT CHEVROLET REPRESENTATIVES ARE STATING THAT THIS ISSUE CAN NOT BE FIXED AND SHOULD BE ACCEPTED AS A NORMAL DRIVING CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *JB

NIGHT DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THE VEHICLE A CHEVROLET TRAILBLZER LS 2005 HAS A PROBLEM THAT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS. THE TRAILBLAZER DECIDES TO DO THIS TOTALLY ON ITS OWN AT RANDOM. THIS CAUSES A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND YOUR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND DECIDE TO COME BACK ON AT RANDOM INTERVALS MAYBE APROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 SECONDS APART. SEVERAL ATTEMPS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. THEIR COMMENT IS THAT THEY EITHER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR THEIR IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT EXPLAINS THE ISSUE. I HAVE DONE THE PROCEDURES THAT THE DEALERSHIP DESCRIBED IN THE SERVICE BULLETINS WITH NO SUCCESS. CURRENTLY MY TRAILBLAZER IS BEING REPAIRED ONCE AGAIN AT TERRY LEE CHEVROLET AS OF 12-19-06. THE LAST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIR TERRY LEE CHEVROLET REPLACED WHAT THEY HAD THOUGH WAS A FAULTY BODY CONTROL MODULE. REPLACING THIS MODULE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND ON THURSDAY 12-14-06 THE PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN RETURNED. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDEREN AND WIFE WHO HAVE BEEN DRIVING PRIMARILY AT NIGHT. I HAVE BECOME SKEPTICAL ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO ACTUALLY DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHTS WILL DECIDE TO TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE THEM TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. *NM

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT MOMENTARILY AND I ALSO NOTICE A FLICKERING ON THE DASH LIGHTS. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND CONTINUES FOR THE 15 MINUTE COMMUTE. SO FAR I ONLY NOTICE THIS HAPPENING AT NIGHT. I NORMALLY DRIVE ABOUT 10 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK. I WORK 12 HOUR SHIFTS BOTH DAYS AND NIGHTS. AS A RESULT, I TEND TO HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND HOME IN THE DARK. I AM WORRIED THAT THE SYSTEM WILL TOTALLY FAIL. FURTHERMORE, WHEN I AM DRIVING BEHIND PEOPLE AND THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP FLASHING AT THEM IT CAUSES ME TO WORRY THAT THEIR ATTENTION IS NOW FOCUSED ON MY HEADLIGHTS INSTEAD OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD MY RADIO, REAR-DEFROST AND HEADLIGHTS ON. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY/CHARGING GAUGE DROPS BELOW 10V WHEN THIS HAPPENS. HOWEVER, THE SAME CONDITION HAS BEEN REPEATED WITH ONLY THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT RUNNING. FOR EXAMPLE, HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, AND DASH LIGHTS, ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT OFF. I CURRENTLY HAVE BEEN DOING A SOME READING ON-LINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NOT REPLACED ANY PARTS YET. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 36K; THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 24K MILES. *JB

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW VEHICLE, I DROVE AT NIGHT. WHILE DRIVING, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT DIM UPON DECELERATION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT FIX IT. NOW, I AM TAKING IT BACK AGAIN AND HAVING THEM DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM NOT WILLING TO LIVE WITH AND WANT IT FIXED. *JB

WHILE I DO NOT OWN A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, I FREQUENTLY AM DRIVING BEHIND THESE VEHICLES AND NOTE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER IS OFTEN BURNT OUT. SEEMS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM OF SOME KIND OR MAYBE TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE JUST PRONE TO NOT CHECKING THEIR LIGHTS. *NM
