2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V248000 (Electrical System, Visibility). The contact stated that on several occasions while the vehicle was running or while driving at various speeds, the passenger's window switch was depressed from the driver's side door panel, and there was a clicking sound coming from the front passenger’s side of the vehicle, and the window failed to roll up or roll down. Additionally, the contact stated that on several occasions, when the driver's side window switch was depressed, the window failed to roll up or roll down. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

Car randomly locks automatically by itself while car is parked and running. I have been locked out on several occasions. Locks while keys are in the ignition or if there just sitting in cup holder or wherever.

Driving vehicle turn it off turn back on drive somewhere and turn it off and go swimming for an hour came back go to go start it and would not start I believe it's the anti-theft system as we replaced the ignition switch and the ignition cylinder but my illumination selector for my gear selector nor my tachometer works nor do my front two windows or locks

Several months ago, I was at a fast food drive up window. I had my drivers side window down while paying for my food and receiving my food. It was down pouring and the inside of my door got pretty wet. I wiped off the rain as best as I could but everything was soaked. The very next day the drivers side door controls started to go haywire. The window button stopped working and my door locks only worked occasionally until they stopped working all together. My side mirrors can no longer be adjusted from the drivers seat. I have to get out of the vehicle and manually adjust both driver and passenger side mirrors. I'm not sure if there is a short in the wiring from the rain or just what is going on. I asked a parts dealer to see how much it would cost to replace the drivers side door controls module and he was of no help except to say its a recall part because of moisture. I've looked this up and I see there was a recall but my VIN isn't on the recall list. I don't understand why my vehicle is excluded considering this appears to be exactly what this incident generated the recall in the first place. I further looked into the investigation you had on the Trailblazer's outside of the salt belt states having the same issues with the moisture and issues that arise from the damaged door controls. I'm not sure if I would be considered in the expanded recall but I'm certain I should be as this is exactly why my drivers side door controls failed. I feel this is a huge safety issue as i don't know if there is a electrical/wiring short and not being able to adjust the side mirrors is an impairment. There was no warning to let me know anything was wrong. The system just went out just that fast. Please advise me how to proceed with my next steps to get this resolved. Also, my low beams went completely out the other day and replacing the bulbs didn't fix that issue. I do have a recall scheduled for January to get the headlights fixed and I'd like them to fix both issues. Thank you.

.+Electrical system. Have read this speedometer issue can also cause other malfunctions on instrument panel such as cruise control issues. .+Driving a car with a broken or faulty speedometer is very dangerous. Not only can it put you in danger, but it can also jeopardize the safety of your passengers, and other drivers and pedestrians on the road. As for the law, you can also be ticketed for operating a vehicle with a broken speedometer, which can cost you fines and court fees, and even risk suspending your drivers’ license. .+My mechanic has not had the chance to look at it yet as he isn't open till Monday. .+No other warnings were given prior to failure.

STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HAVE HAD BRAKE FLUID, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, SENSORS AND TIRES REPLACED. TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS CHECKED; ALL IS GOOD. NO CEL CODE RELATING TO THIS ISSUE. TRACTION CONTROL OFF BUTTON DOESN?T WORK ONCE LIGHT APPEARS. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN DRIVING WHEN LIGHT IS ON. STILL HAVEN?T FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSES IT. BATTERY, POWER CORDS, AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED DO TO ISSUES WITH THE VOLTAGE OUTPUTS. NOW TO REPLACE FUSE BOX AND ECM DUE TO MORE VOLTAGE OUTPUT ISSUES. CEL HAS HAD NO INDICATIONS OF AN ECM, FUSE BOX, ALTERNATOR, OR BATTERY PROBLEM UNTIL THEY WERE BEYOND REPAIR (THIS ALSO HAPPENED WITH OTHER TRANSFER CASE LEAK, LOSS OF REVERSE GEAR, AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAK) . CEL COMES AND GOES BY ITSELF AT ANYTIME WITH NO DIFFERENCE IN DRIVABILITY OR CONDITIONS. EACH TIME IT REAPPEARED IT?S THROWN DIFFERENT SENSORS AND/OR CIRCUITS FAILING OR HIGH/LOW VOLTAGES INCLUDING O2, MAF, TPS, EVAP SYSTEM, WHEEL SPEED, FUEL PRESSURE, OIL PRESSURE, STEERING WHEEL, GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION, AIR BAG IMPACT, JUST TO NAME A FEW. MY CAR HAS RECENTLY STARTED GOING INTO LIMP MODE AT RANDOM DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ONLY REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM IS DISCONNECTING THE WIRING HARNESS AND ALLOWING THE FUSE BOX AND ECM TO COOL DOWN. AND FINALLY, MY OIL FILLER TUBE SEAL BROKE AND OIL WAS SPITTING OUT INTO ENGINE BAY. COINCIDENTALLY, MY PCV VALVE TUBE HAD ALSO BROKEN, AND THE TUBE WAS HANGING LOOSE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OIL FILLER TUBE. AS A RESULT, PCV TUBING SUCKED UP A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL INTO THE AIR INTAKE; WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION INDICATING ANY PROBLEMS DURING THE TIME OF FAILURE. MY AIR INTAKE SYSTEM IS NEARLY RUINED (NOT TO MENTION THE $$$ I SHELLED OUT IN OIL) AND THE WEAR DOWN ON PARTS HAS BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A CASH COW FOR GM. *TR

WHEN TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THERE ARE TWO SPEAKERS THAT CONTINUE TO MAKE STATIC NOISE, WHETHER I HAVE OPENED THE DOOR OR NOT. IF I BUMP OR HIT THE CENTER CONSOLE IT WILL MAKE THE SPEAKERS LOUDER OR TURN OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR MULTIPLE CODES, AND I HAVE WORN OUT SHOCKS. THE SHOCKS SHOULD MAKE ME FEEL AS IF I AM GLIDING, BUR I FEEL AND JERK TO EVERY BUMP.

Mileage: 185,000

WHETHER THE CAR IS TURNED ON, OR OFF WITH OR WITHOUT KEY IN THE IGNITION, IT HAS A SMALL SPEAKER OR TWEETER THAT STEADILY STAYS MAKING A FAINT BUZZ. THE CENTER CONSOLE IS VERY LOOSE, AND IF YOU PRESS OR KNOCK UP AGAINST THE RIGHT SIDE OR THE BACK SIDE, IT BECOMES LOUDER AND/OR QUIETER. THEN WHILE IN AUTO (2WD-4WD^OR4WDL) AND DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSIONS FEELS TO NOT SWITCH GEER AT THE RIGHT TIME, OR FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND BACK TO DRIVE IT JOLTS FORWARD OR BACK REALLY HARD.

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. I WILL GET READ OUTS ABOUT THE STABILITRAK NEEDS TO BE SERVICED OR THE STABILITRAK HAS KICKED IN WHEN IT HASN'T. THE STABILITRAK WILL TRY TO IN GAUGE FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN APPLING THE BRAKES. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, COMING TO A STOP OR JUST APPLYING THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. IT HAPPENS ON ALL TYPE OF ROAD SURFACES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS BRIGHT AND SUNNY OUTSIDE, ON DRY ROADS, HIGHWAYS, STREETS, DIRT ROADS AND DAY OR NIGHT. IT DOES IT AT FAST SPEEDS AND VERY LOW SPEEDS. IT MAKES A STRANGE NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENS HOWEVER THE STABILITRAK DOESN'T FULLY IN GAUGE. THE REPAIR SHOP LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME THAT THEY THINK THE COMPUTER MODAL IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. THIS STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO. SO I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS WILL AFFECT THE BRAKES WHEN DRIVING ON THE SNOW AND ICY ROADS. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUES.

ON 7/9/15 I BROUGHT MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER (PURCHASED USED IN OCTOBER OF 2013) TO MY MECHANIC AT MIDAS MUFFLER IN BANGOR DUE TO AN ISSUE I WAS HAVING FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS REGARDING THE ELECTRIC WINDOW/DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEREAS I HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENTLY UNABLE TO ROLL MY WINDOWS UP OR DOWN AND I HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN MY VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO GET OUT THREE TIMES. THEY REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND FOUND THAT WATER HAD BEEN LEAKING INTO THE DOOR AND CAUSED CORROSION TO THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THESE FUNCTIONS. I WAS TOLD THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY HAD CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD THEM THAT THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FULFILLED IN AUGUST OF 2013. ON 7/13/15, I CALLED GM TO INQUIRE REGARDING THIS RECALL SINCE WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, IT STATED THAT "PARTS FOR THE REMEDY ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE." I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTER STATING THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IT IS, IN MY OPINION, THAT THE "FIX" THAT WAS DONE IN AUGUST 2013 DID NOT "FIX" THE ISSUE AND THIS HAS CAUSED THE SAME PROBLEM TO REOCCUR. GM TOLD ME THAT THE FIX WOULD BE MY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE RECALL NOTICE ON YOUR WEBSITE ALSO STATES, "VEHICLES WHOSE MODULES WERE MODIFIED BUT NOT REPLACED AS A PART OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL REMEDY MUST HAVE THEIR VEHICLES REMEDIED AGAIN UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN." I AM NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT THE MODULE WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2013 AS I DID NOT OWN THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME, HOWEVER, I DO FEEL THAT THE REMEDY THAT WAS DONE ON THAT DATE DID NOT FIX THE LEAKAGE ISSUE AND THEREFORE GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE MODULE NOW AND ALSO FIXING THE LEAKAGE ISSUE SO THIS DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN AND UNABLE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE THREE TIMES ALREADY, AND ALSO, ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL RECALL, THIS CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD

THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE REAR LIFTGATE WIPER NOT FUNCTIONING. IT FIRST STARTED BY RUNNING SLOWER AND SLOWER, THEN FINALLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING COMPLETELY. I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE NOW, AND BOTH TIMES THE WIPER MOTOR WOULD FUNCTION FOR A VERY BRIEF TIME, THE FIRST TIME AROUND IT DIDN'T LAST FOR 36 HOURS BEFORE CEASING TO FUNCTION AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO NUMEROUS FORUMS TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM, SUCH AS TRAILVOY.COM, AND IT IS QUITE APPARENT TO ME THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, WITH LITTLE HOPE OF AN EASY REPAIR. IT APPEARS THE SUSPECT PART, THE LGM, CAN'T BE ORDERED OR REPLACED BY THE COMMON MAN, AND MANY OF US DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO CONTINUALLY BE TAKING THE VEHICLES TO THE SERVICE BAY OF OUR LOCAL CHEVY, GM OR BUICK DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MANY REASONS, BUT PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN A RURAL ENVIRONMENT OF DIRT/GRAVEL ROADS AS THE DRAFT AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ALWAYS CAUSES THE LIFT GLASS TO BECOME SOILED, REDUCING VISIBILITY TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES, WHICH MAKES FOR LESS SAFETY WHEN CHANGING LANES, BACKING UP AND SO ON. ADDITIONALLY, THERE HAS BEEN NO SOLUTION ISSUED YET FOR THE FLICKERING HEADLIGHT ISSUE THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR LAST YEAR FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS BECOMING MADDENING, IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG. APPARENTLY NONE OF THE HIGHER UPS AT GM LIVE IN REGIONS WHERE THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL DEER POPULATION. THANKFULLY I HAVE YET TO HIT ONE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GIVEN VERY LITTLE ATTENTION BY GM.

WE WERE TRAVELING FROM SPOKANE, WA TO PORTLAND, OR, WHEN WE GOT TO RICHLAND, WA THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE STOPPED AND SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND GAVE US A CODE FOR A FAULTY PEDAL SENSOR. WE ERASED THE CODE AND TURNED THE TRAILBLAZER ON AND IT CAME BACK ON IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WE READ ONLINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRAILBLAZER SS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUES AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SENSOR AND THEY ARE GETTING THEIRS REPLACED. I TALKED TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET AND CAMP CHEVROLET HERE IN SPOKANE, WA AND THEY BOTH HAVE HEARD OF THE RECALL AND THE ISSUE BUT SINCE IT WON'T SHOW UP UNDER MY VIN NUMBER THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL. THEY WON'T 100 TO 150 TO DIAGNOSE WHEN IT TOOK ME 5 SECONDS AND THEY WANT US TO PAY ABOUT 600+ DOLLARS FOR AN REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE FREE. I READ ABOUT THE SENSOR AND OUR TRUCK IS DOING EVERYTHING IT SAYS IT WILL DO. WHEN YOU ARE AT A LIGHT AND GO TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL IT BOGGS DOWN LIKE ABOUT TO DIE THEN LUNGES FORWARD AND SHIFTING HARD BETWEEN GEAR 1 OR 2. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS AND HELP US GET THE DEALERSHIP TO WORK WITH US. IF WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN ANY MOMENT. THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD!!! *TR

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] OWNER OF A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE IS THAT MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT DOWN A HIGHWAY IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN, DRIVING AT ABOUT 45-50 MPH AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN SHE LOST POWER TO STEER AND BRAKES. IF THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN THE CITY OR ON THE FREEWAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND STARTED A CLAIM, THE PERSON I TALKED TO COULDN'T SPEAK MUCH ENGLISH OR UNDERSTAND IT AS WELL. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEY WROTE BACK WITH A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY. THEY SENT ME TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, TO GET ADVISE. THE ONLY THING THEY COULD TELL ME WAS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THAT SWITCH. ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO WAS MAKE CHEVROLET KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE SITUATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21, 2015; I STARTED MY CAR UP TO LET IT WARM UP WHILE I DUSTED OFF THE SNOW. I NOTICE MY HEATED SEATS WERE NOT WORKING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AS SOON AS I RESTARTED IT THE CAR BEGAN TO BACKFIRE AND STALE. IT WOULD START BUT THEN STALE OUT. I HAD TO GET THE TRUCKED TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC. I PICK UP MY TRUCK THAT EVENING AND IT RAN FINE. THE NEXT MORNING THURSDAY JANUARY 22, I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. HOWEVER, EVERY STOP I CAME TO THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND THEN WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AT THE NEXT STOP. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL I WAS DRIVE TO THE MECHANIC. AGAIN THAT EVENING I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. FRIDAY JANUARY 23, I WAS DRIVING MY 7 YEAR OLD TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC. HE KEPT MY CAR FOR 4 DAY. I FINALLY PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY JANUARY 24 AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID HE IS STUMPED. IT DROVE GREAT AFTER PICKING IT UP. THEN THIS MORNING JANUARY 25, AS I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, MY CAR SHUT OFF 3 TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN TWO HILLS. THEN IT STALED 2 MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS A RED LIGHTS. I NEARLY MISSED TWO ACCIDENTS. BY DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CALL THE LOCAL CHEVY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS AN KNOWN PROBLEM. I CALLED CHEVY DIRECTLY AND THEY TOO ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I EVEN FOUND COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY SITE. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM GETS FIXED. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY DRIVERS DOOR FOR A PART THAT CATCHES FIRE, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE TRUCK JUST SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN MOTION. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. *TR

ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2014, AT APPROXIMATELY 11:30 A.M. WHILE MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE STANDING ROCK SIOUX RESERVATION MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER EXT CAUGHT ON FIRE. WE BOTH SMELLED SMOKE, PARKED (DIDN'T TURN OFF THE IGNITION) AND FLAMES BEGAN TO SHOOT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE GOT OUT AND RAN TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AS THE FIRE ENGULFED THE ENTIRE FRONT MOTOR AREA. MY PURSE WAS STILL IN THE BURNING VEHICLE AND I TOLD MY HUSBAND HE RAN BACK TO THE BURNING VEHICLE TO RETRIEVE IT. HE SUSTAINED BURNS TO HIS HANDS, FACE, LEGS AND FEET. IN ADDITION HE RECEIVED SMOKE INHALATION TO A DEGREE OF A "BLACK OUT" STAGE. WE WITNESSED THE TIRES BURN UP ONE AFTER ANOTHER, BEGINNING WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE, THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE REAR DRIVER'S AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE - AT THIS POINT WE MOVED FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BURNING VEHICLE AS WE EXPECTED THE CAR TO EXPLODE ONCE IT REACHED THE GAS TANK AREA, BUT SOMEHOW THE GAS TANK DIDN'T EXPLODE. IN FACT, THE SPARE TIRE WHICH SITS UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK RECEIVED A SLIGHT SINGE AND DID NOT BURN (ALONG WITH THE GAS TANK). THE ONLY WARNING WE HAD WAS THE "SMELL OF SMOKE" - THE TRAILBLAZER'S DASH WARNING LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR TO INDICATE ANYTHING WAS WRONG. IN ADDITION, ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 25, 2014, ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER (SAME AREA) ALSO BURNT UP (AS REPORTED BY BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT). *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING HOME FROM A WEEKEND OUT OF STATE. WE WERE COMING INTO CHICAGO TRAVELING TOWARDS WISCONSIN WHERE WE LIVE. JUST BEFORE THE FIRST TOLL BOOTH ON I80/I94 TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WE HIT A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE CAR. WE MANAGED TO COAST THE CAR OVER FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE OF A 5 LANE HIGHWAY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD OUT OF HARMS WAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A FIRESTONE DEALERSHIP ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON; WE WERE TOLD AFTER A SYSTEMS ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED THAT THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE TOWED TO A GM DEALERSHIP. THE CLOSEST WAS IN HOMEWOOD, IL. AFTER GM FIXED THE CAR, I ASKED WHAT WOULD CAUSE SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, IT IS SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENS. KNOWING THE GRAVITY OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, THIS IS VERY UPSETTING. I REALLY BELIEVE THE TRAILBLAZER SHOULD BE ALSO NOTED ON THE GM RECALL OF AUTOS BEFORE ANOTHER FAMILY HAS TO EXPERIENCE WHAT MINE DID OR WORSE. THANK YOU *JS

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 79 IN PENNSYLVANIA AT NORMAL SPEED WHEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT LIT UP AND MY AIR BAG DISENGAGED FLASHED, FOLLOWED BY MORE LIGHTS ON THE DASH GOING ON, AND TRACKING DISENGAGED FLASHED, THEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE FAILURE FLASHED AS I STARTED MOVING TOWARD THE RIGHT HAND LANE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. JUST AS I MADE IT TO THE RIGHT LANE MY POWER CUT OUT AND I WAS GOING 20 - 25 MPH IN TWO SECONDS FLAT. I SWERVED TO THE BERM OF THE ROAD AS THE FOUR WHEELER SEMI TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME NEARLY CLOBBERED ME. I INCHED ON THE BERM AT 20 MPH TO THE BRIDGEVILLE EXIT AND GOT TO THE COLUSSY CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE MY CAR STOPPED DEAD IN THE SERVICE DEPT. FIRST, THEY THOUGHT BATTERY, BUT THE BATTERY WAS FINE. IT WAS IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE WHICH CAUSED MY AIR BAGS TO DISENGAGE AND MY LOSING POWER. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED!! THE COST OF REPAIRS WAS $337 BUT I WAS TOLD THAT MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WAS NOT ON THE GM RECALL LIST, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE EXACT THINGS GO WRONG WITH THE VEHICLES ON THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL LIST. AND THEY REPAIRED IT THE SAME WAY, WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!! THIS IS NOT A "VEHICLE" RECALL, IT IS A "PARTS" RECALL AND MY VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. I CALLED THE GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL HOTLINE AND THEY ESCALATED MY CASE UP AND UP AND EVERYONE SAID THE SAME THING....THEY ARE SORRY FOR MY DISTRESS, MY INCONVENIENCE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST SO THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. PERHAPS IF THE SEMI TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME KILLED ME, THEY MIGHT ACKNOWLEDGE MY SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH (PART) AND NOT MY VEHICLE!!! *JS

I WASHED MY VEHICLE AND THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO USE IT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW PANEL WOULDN'T WORK. I HAD NOTICED A FUNNY SMELL A FEW TIMES BEFORE THIS BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I TRIED INTERMITTENTLY TO USE THE PANEL TO OPEN THE WINDOWS OR LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS TO NO AVAIL. TWO DAYS LATER WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME ALL 4 WINDOWS STARTED OPENING AND CLOSING ALL BY THEMSELVES. ONE WOULD GO UP AND THE OTHER WOULD GO DOWN. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THE ONLY THING I KNEW WAS THAT I HAD WASHED THE VEHICLE. OF COURSE THE WINDOWS WERE UP AND IN CHECKING I COULDN'T SEE WHERE ANY WATER COULD GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I WOULD NEED A NEW SWITCH AT THE COST OF ALMOST $300.00 FOR THE DOOR PANEL SWITCH. THIS WOULD NOT INCLUDE LABOR COSTS TO MAKE IT WORK ON MY VEHICLE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE JUST WASHING MY VEHICLE COULD CAUSE SUCH A PROBLEM SO I DECIDED TO GO ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND THAT THERE IS APPARENTLY A RECALL.

I BOUGHT MY TRAILBLAZER (WHICH I LOVE) IN THE SPRING OF 2012. A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I CAME TO LEARN THAT THE HORN NO LONGER WORKED. I KNOW THE HORN WORKED WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR BECAUSE I CHECKED IT. I BROUGHT IT IN TO A WELL RENOWNED REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEIR FINDINGS AFTER LOOKING IT UP WAS THAT THERE IS A SLIGHT GLITCH WITH THE HORN AND THAT, LIKE OTHER FORMS HAD STATED, THE MORE YOU USE IT THE BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING IT TO WORK. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE WAS READING THAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE HORNS ON THESE TRAILBLAZERS NEEDED TO BE MASSAGED A LITTLE IN THE CORNER AND THE WOULD WORK AGAIN. HE SAID THEY GOT IT WORKING. I HAVE YET TO BE ABLE TO GET ANY NOISE OUT OF MY HORN AT ALL.

MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND MYSELF WERE DRIVING ON IDAHO STATE HIGHWAY 70, A NARROW, WINDING, TWO-LANE ROAD WITH LITTLE TO NO SHOULDER, WHEN THE MOTOR STOPPED AND ILOST ALL POWER-BRAKES, STEERING ETC. I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OVER TO A WIDE SPOT ON THE SHOULDER AND STOP. I WAS UNABLE TO RE-START THE BLAZER AND CALLED AAA TO HAVE IT HAULED TO KNUDTSEN CHEVROLET IN COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO. IN ANOTHER HALF HOUR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE AND THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTEROUS IF THE CAR HAD FAILED THEN IN HIGH VOLUME TRAFFIC.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THESE VEHICLES ALSO AS PART OF THE GM RECALL. I WILL GET IT FIXED AND IT WILL BE OK FOR A BIT, THEN THE SAME THING STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING, MY HEADLIGHTS WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN FREQUENTLY BUT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS DURATION. I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS SAME EVENT ABOUT 6 TIMES BEFORE CONTACTING GM DIRECTLY. I CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WHICH TURN ON WHEN DARKNESS IS DETECTED. THIS AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION CANNOT BE OVERRIDDEN WITH MANUAL CONTROLS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER AND MANUALLY TURN THE HEADLIGHTS BACK ON WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION AND RESTART THE ENGINE WITHOUT RESOLUTION. NOTHING I COULD DO WOULD MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS TURN BACK ON. THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN AND WILL EVENTUALLY TURN BACK ON BUT THIS IS COMPLETELY RANDOM, SOMETIMES TAKING A FEW MINUTES OR MAYBE UP TO 20 MINUTES. A CERTIFIED GM SERVICE CENTER CLAIMED THE ISSUE TO BE WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR REPLACEMENT. I ELECTED TO NOT HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY. I INSTEAD STARTED SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER SOLUTION. I TURNED TO THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE SINCE AT LEAST 2002 CONTINUING UNTIL THE LATE 2000'S. GM INFORMED ME OVER THE PHONE THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. THE CERTIFIED GM SERVICE CENTER CLAIMED THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL TELL YOU A DIFFERENT STORY. I ULTIMATELY FOLLOWED THE DIRECTION OF A YOUTUBE VIDEO WHICH DIRECTED ME TO REPLACE A RELAY LOCATED ON THE VEHICLE'S FUSE PLATE. THE COST OF THE PART WAS APPROXIMATELY $30. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE WORKING AGAIN. IN MY OPINION GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART AND NOT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. *TR

THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE HAPPEN AND COULD (AND PROBABLY HAS) CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR SOMEONE TO BE STRANDED. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, THERE IS NO WAY ITS JUST A COINCIDENCE.

MY CAR WAS IN GARAGE WARMING UP ON A COLD DAY. AFTER ABOUT 1 MIN. IT STOPPED IDLING. I WENT OUT TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE KEY WAS IN OFF POSITION. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND LET IT IDLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MIN. I THEN BACKED OUT OF GARAGE AND PROCEEDED DOWN A HILL TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. MY SPEED AT THE TURN WAS 15 MPH. AFTER I MADE THE TURN, THE ENGINE QUIT. I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO A SAFE STOP. THE KEY AGAIN WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. I RETRIED TO START THE CAR, BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID TO HAVE IT TOWED. I TRIED ONE MORE TIME AND IT STARTED. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES TO HIS SHOP AND WHEN I PULLED UP IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE DOORS, THE ENGINE QUIT. WE COULD NOT GET IT RESTARTED. HE PLACED THE HAND HELD COMPUTER ANALYZER AND DETERMINED IT WAS IGNITION SWITCH WHICH HE REPLACED. COST WITH LABOR WAS $147.00. *TR

I JUST WANT TO GET SOME INFORMATION OUT THERE ON MY EXPERIENCE: BATTERY REPLACEMENT SEEM WAYS TOO OFTEN 8/2008, 10/2010, 9/2013 - AND THERE IS NO NOTICE UNTIL YOU CANNOT START IT ONE DAY. FIRST THING TO GO WAS THE IDLE PULLEY. I HAVE HAD THE WATER PUMP/THERMOSTAT/BELTS REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES 50K, 60K, 87K. HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS REPLACED AT LEAST 3 TIMES EACH. I HAVE HAD TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BLOCK PLATE MULTIPLE TIMES OR THE TB WILL STALL WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED OR HEAT/AC ON. I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY NON-OEM PARTS WHICH I NEVER REPLACED (I PURCHASED USED W/17K MILES) AND NOTHING SHOWED UP ON CAR FAX OR OTHER REPORTS ABOUT ACCIDENTS OR REPAIRS. I HAD THE GAS GUAGE/TANK/FLOAT REPAIRED WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY STILL AND THEN A YEAR LATER IT BROKE AGAIN, AND I AM STILL RIDING WITH IT BROKEN (AT LEAST THE LAST 5 YEARS), WHICH OF COURSE KEEPS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON NEARLY ALL THE TIME. I JUST LOCATED THE NOTICE THAT GM IS NOW DOING 100% OF THE REPAIR AND I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED AS I WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. I FILL EVERY 200 MILES. THERE ARE OTHER MINOR ISSUES SUCH AS INTERIOR LIGHTS GOING OUT, BOTH OF THE FRONT SEATS HAVE DETACHED FROM THE SIDE MOLDING (ONLY 1 LITTLE SCREW HOLDS THEM IN), THE REAR WASHER HAS NOT WORKED IN ABOUT 6 YEARS. I ALSO HAVE LOUD NOISES COMING OUT OF THE TIRES/WHEELS AND NO ONE CAN DETERMINE AN EXACT CAUSE, BUT IT'S NOT THE BRAKES OR ROTORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I CURRENTLY HAVE UNDER 89K MILES. I AM WAITING FOR THE DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO GO NEXT AS THAT SEEMS LIKE WHAT IS NEXT ON THE LIST OF TB ISSUES. *TR

Mileage: 92,000

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS, NEEDED TO REPORT THIS SINCE I BELIEVE THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. ON MY VEHICLE ITS ONLY THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT. IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE YOU CAN FIND OTHERS THAT HAVE SAME ISSUE BUT WITH BOTH LOW BEAMS GO OUT WHENEVER WITHOUT NOTICE. VERY DANGEROUS ON DARK ROADS. I'VE HAD MY HEADLIGHT FIXED MANY TIMES MYSELF AND THAN GAVE UP AND TOOK TO WHERE I BOUGHT VEHICLE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE BULB IS MAKING CONNECTOR HOT ENOUGH TO MELT TO BULB SO CONNECTOR AND BULB BOTH NEED REPLACE IT MAY LAST A YEAR MOST TIMES NOT. THERE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO CAUSE A FIRE BEFORE LONG. THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE. I REALLY NEED THIS IMPORTANT MATTER LOOKED INTO AND GM SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT'S A PROBLEM FOR LOTS OF PEOPLE. *TR

NOW COME TO FIND OUT AFTER HAVING MY BLOWER MOTOR REPLACED THE CONNECTOR FOR THE ELECTRICAL HAS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF MELTING ISSUE WHICH POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE!!! OF COURSE GENERAL MOTORS WANTS AND ARM AND A LEG TO REPLACE IT!!!! I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS! IF IT HAD CAUGHT FIRE WHICH I AM SURE IF PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD OR DON'T GET THEIR VEHICLES PROPERLY CHECKED THERE WILL BE ONE THAT HAPPENS TO, IT COULD KILL SOMEONE!

ENGINE LIGHT ON INDICATED VAPOR COLLECTION BOX UNDER CAR NOT WORKING PROPERLY,AND/OR NEEDING TUNE UP. PERFORMED TUNE-UP, ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. , THIS, ACCORDING TO MY LICENSED MECHANIC IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM. THAT HAVING THE BOX FOGGED FOR LEAKS AND SUBSEQUENT REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT RESULTS IN MULTIPLE SITUATIONS OF THE LIGHT ALWAYS COMING BACK ON. 2. THE MASTER SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS DOOR WENT OUT, DURING THE RAINY SEASON AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM, BUT GM, CHEV, AND/THEIR DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PART AND EVEN THOUGH I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY DID NOT SPRAY THE ONE I HAD INSTALLED, WAS NOT INTERESTED IN REPLACING THE ORIG DEFECTIVE UNIT WITH THE NEW ENGINEERED PART, WERE RUDE, OBNOXIOUS AND NON PROFESSIONAL TO MY HUSBAND, WHICH NOW HAS ME LIVID. WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, NEVER ANY MAIL PRIOR TO REPAIRING, WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (UNDER ANOTHER RECALL TOO, FOR FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $60.00 TO CHECK IT OUT. IS GM AND OR CHEVROLET FINDING IT NECESSARY TO DRUM UP REPAIR COSTS FROM THE CONSUMER TO THEMSELVES. THIS IS JUST A LITTLE MORE OR LESS LIKE SCAMMING. *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 2006 TRAIL BLAZER I HAD A DOOR SWITCH/LATCH MALFUNCTION. IN MY VEHICLE WHEN YOU PASS 15 MPH THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. AT THAT MOMENT THE DOORS SWITCHED TO LOCKED AND AT THE SAME EXACT TIME THE DOOR LOCK/LATCH FAILED AND THE DOOR OPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING. I MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER VIA CHEVY CUSTOMER CARE TO CORRECT A RECALL WITH THE DOOR SWITCH. WHEN I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK THE DOOR LATCH/LOCK WAS NOT FIXED. THAT PART WASN'T UNDER RECALL. THE PART THAT FAILED WAS THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WHICH IS AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE THAT IS PART OF THE DOOR SWITCHING/LOCKING SYSTEM. THE FACT THAT THE DOOR SWITCH WAS RECALLED DUE TO SHORTAGES IS QUITE POSSIBLY FOR THE FAILURE OF THIS LATCH/LOCK. I AM AN AVID SEAT BELT WEARER, LUCKILY. I AM GREAT CONCERNED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WITH THIS FAILURE IN OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE DEALER AND GM BUT WAS TOLD TOO BAD FOR THE DEALER AND HAVE BAD NO RESPONSE WHEN I MENTIONED THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY. THANK YOU *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: (23 AUGUST 2013) DRIVING TO STOP AT STOP SIGN AT APPROXIMATELY 15MPH , VEHICLE TURNED OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. SECOND INCIDENT: (26 AUGUST 2013) DRIVING ON HIGHWAY GOING CLOSE TO 65 MPH, ONCE AGAIN VEHICLE TURNED OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. HAD TO TURN HAZARDS OFF AND COAST TO SAFE ZONE WHILE CARS WERE PASSING ME GOING 65-80MPH. THIRD INCIDENT: (28 AUGUST 2013) DRIVING CLOSE TO 50 MPH, ONCE AGAIN VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. ONCE AGAIN HAD TO COAST TO THE MEDIAN AND HOPE NOT TO GET IN A CAR WRECK. ALL 3 OF THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO DONE RESEARCH THROUGH VARIOUS FORUMS AND WEBSITES. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX BY CHANGING THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT MONTHS LATER IT COMES BACK. THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CAN DO (FROM MY KNOWLEDGE) IS LET IT SIT FOR AN HOUR OR 2 AND THEN IT STARTS UP FINE, BUT WHEN YOUR DRIVING AT 70 MPH THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE EXACT SAME SITUATION AS ME HOPING THE NEXT TIME THEY GET INTO THEIR VEHICLE THEY WONT BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TT

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC IN ORLANDO (DISNEY WORLD COLLEGE INTERN) AND NOTICE SMOKE AND THEN FIRE COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE, UNDER THE DASH. CAR WAS IN MOTION, SHE TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND EXIT, HAD TROUBLE GETTING CAR TO STOP, AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK. FIRE RAPIDLY SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CABIN.

WOULD STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER IF IT WAS RAINING, THEN WOULD START TO WORK, WHEN IT HAD DRIED UP. I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, BUT WHEN I CALLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED SINCE I HAD NOT REGISTERED IN A LIST OF THE NORTHERN STATES. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AND DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS IN ONE OF THE NORTHERN STATES. WHY WOULD IT MATTER IF I HAD REGISTERED IT HERE OR THERE. THERE IS STILL A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE WINDOW MODULE. THE RECALL SHOULD FOLLOW THE VEHICLE NOT THE REGISTERED OWNER. *TR

THE MANAGER [XXX] SAID IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT COULD BE FIXED IN LIKE 5 MINUTES AND THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUSES BEING REPLACED BUT HIS SERVICE TECHNICIAN LEFT FOR THE DAY SO I SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN TOMORROW. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR [XXX], I WAS TOLD BY THE SALES MANAGER WHO'S NAME IS [XXX], THAT [XXX] WAS ON VACATION FOR 1 WEEK IN MEXICO. I EXPLAINED THE AIRBAG SITUATION AND[XXX]SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR [XXX] TO RETURN FROM MEXICO.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE. THE WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. IT WAS VERY APPARENT THAT SOMETHING IN THE DOOR HAD MELTED OR BURNED (NO VISIBLE APPEARANCE OF FIRE ON THE OUTSIDE, NO FLAMES). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, WHICH I OPTED FOR BASED ON THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUES AND WOULD OTHER CAUSES MAY BE AT WORK (WOULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? WHAT ELSE WAS AFFECTED?), AND THEY REPLACED THE DOOR CONTROL (NOT INEXPENSIVE). I BELIEVE THIS MATCHES GM#12180 AND NHTSA # 12V406000. THE ACTUAL EVENT OCCURRED A FEW YEARS AGO- THE DATE IS VERY APPROXIMATE AND MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. THE AREA IS NJ. THERE WERE NO OUT-OF-THE-USUAL CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THE USE OF THE VEHICLE. IN COMING ACROSS THIS WHILE RESEARCHING IT, I THOUGHT I WOULD INCLUDE MY EVENT FOR YOUR PURPOSES. THE RECALL PROCESS HAS BEEN SLOW; PERSONALLY NOT VERY SATISFIED, I'VE SPOKEN WITH GM AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON SENDING THE LETTERS TO REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO ACTUALLY ENCOUNTERED THIS. *TR

THE SUV WOULD NOT START IN OCTOBER 2012. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, SO I BOUGHT ONE RIGHT AWAY. I DRIVE THE SUV VERY INFREQUENTLY, MAYBE ONLY 40 MILES A WEEK. ON DECMBER 7, 2012 THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ACROSS THE CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE IN MARYLAND. THIS WAS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING DARK OUT. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO PARK THE SUV THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. EVEN AFTER MANUALLY TRYING TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS AND REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. FINALLY THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, BUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE SUV IN THE MORNING. WE TRIED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. THIS CAUSED SPARKS BY THE FUSE BOX AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CABIN BEGAN TO TURN OFF AND ON, EVEN WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO STARTED TO FLICKER OFF AND ON AND THE DOORS LOCKED AN UNLOCKED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW BATTERY. OBVIOUSLY THE BATTERY IS NOT THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT GM INTENDS TO DO ABOUT THE FAULTY WIRING IN THESE MODELS AND HOW THEY ARE GOING TO CORRECT THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED IN OCTOBER 2012. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 12180 AND I THINK THIS CURRENT PROBLEM IS RELATED TO IT. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND IT STATES THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND TO PARK THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE. I CALLED AND ASKED IF IT IS OK TO DRIVE THE SUV AND WAS TOLD "YES". SINCE I MUST DRIVE ACROSS A 5 MILE BRIDGE SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK, I AM CONCERNED THE TRUCK WILL BREAK DOWN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I AM ALSO CONCERNED A PASSENGER OR MY PET DOG COULD BE INJURED. *TR

THE FAILURE HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIME AND ALL WEATHER AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. I HAVE HAD IT AT TWO DEALERS AS WELL HAVE CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVE DEPT. THEY HAVE CLAIMED TO BE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT STILL FAILS. THE ISSUE AT HAND IS THAT IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS THIS FAILURE PROVES TO BE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ITS NOT A USED CAR ISSUE AS ITS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO HAVE A GM FIELD TECH COME LOOK AT THE CAR BUT, THEY INSIST THAT THE DEALER FIX IT. I NEED SOMEONE MORE TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE FAILURE COMES WITH AT GREAT RISKS OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

I HAVE A 2006 TRAILBLAZER AND A FEW WEEKS AGO MY DRIVER SIDE CONTROL PANEL STOPPED WORKING. COULD NOT USE MY REMOTE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND WAS UNABLE TO PUT ANY WINDOWS DOWN. I THOUGHT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRES SOMEWHERE BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY THE PANEL WORKED. NOW, TWO WEEKS LATER I STOPPED AT THE STORE AND WAS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AND AGAIN I COULD NOT LOCK MY DOORS USING THE BUTTON ON THE CONTROL PANEL. I LEFT THE DOOR UNLOCKED AND WHEN I CAME OUT (WITHIN MINUTES) MY DOOR WINDOW HAD GONE DOWN ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS IN THE STORE. WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR, MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. SHE IMMEDIATELY MADE ME GO TO THE GARAGE AND HAVE HER MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT. HE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE PANEL AND SHOWED US WHERE THE PLASTIC PART THAT GOES INSIDE THE HANDLE HAD MELTED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE IN THE CAR. HE CALLED AROUND TO TRY AND FIND A REPLACEMENT PART AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FIND ONE AND WAS QUOTED OVER $300 FOR JUST THE PART!! THEN, I HAD TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE IT INSTALLED BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE PROGRAMMED TO MY CAR AND I WAS QUOTED ABOUT $103 FOR INSTALLATION!!!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN LISTED AS A RECALL AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I PLAN ON GETTING A PHONE NUMBER FROM THE DEALER FOR THE GM CORPORATE OFFICE TO FILE AN AUTOMOTIVE COMPLAINT TOMORROW. I HOPE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS PART AND THE LABOR CHARGE.

OTHER 3 WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN FROM EACH DOOR BUT WILL ALSO AUTOMATICALLY ROLL UP WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED TO. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE UP BUTTON IS BEING HELD DOWN CONSTANTLY. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE A CHILD WHO'S HAND OR FINGERS COULD GET CAUGHT WITHOUT WARNING, AND NOT KNOWING IF THE WINDOWS WILL ROLL BACK DOWN IS CONCERNING. I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE OTHER WINDOWS FROM BEING CONTROLLED BY OTHER PASSENGERS. I HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES AND SO FAR THEY ARE OKAY.

FROM THAT POINT NONE OF THE WINDOWS OR DOOR LOCKS WORKED AND I COULD SEE SOME BROWN DISCOLORATION THAT HAD COME UP BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE PANEL FOR THE DOOR SWITCHES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I PULLED THE SWITCH PANEL UP AND THERE WAS A HOLE ON THE SIDE OF THE SWITCH PANEL AND PART OF THE PLUG WAS MELTED WHERE THE VERY SMALL FIRE HAD OCCURRED. I ORDERED A NEW SWITCH PANEL FROM A DEALER AND HAD THE DEALER FLASH IT SO IT WOULD WORK IN MY TRUCK AND SO FAR SO GOOD. I MAY HAVE THE OLD SWITCH PANEL IN MY GARAGE IF NEEDED FOR ANYTHING. *TR

ALSO THE DRIVE SIDE MODULE HAS BURN MARKS ON IT AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE BEEN LUCKY WITH NO FIRES IN THE DOOR BUT IF THIS DID ME OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY PART & FOR THIS ONE PART TO CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS TO SO MANY PEOPLE I THINK THAT THIS NEEDS TO GET LOOKED AT & FIX NOW BE FORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. *TR

I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND TRIED TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN WITH NO SUCCESS. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC, REMOVE THE MASTER SWITCH FROM THE DOOR. THERE BURN MARKS AND MELTING ON THE PLASTIC OUTSIDE COMPONENTS. I AM FEARFUL THAT THIS COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND ME OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY WOULD BECOME SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE.

2006 TRAILBLAZER 4WD. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BECOME ERRATIC DURING OPERATION AT FIRST. THEN ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS AFFECTED OVER NEXT DAY OR TWO, INCLUDING MAKING DOOR LOCKS OPERATE ON THEIR OWN, HEARD ELECTRICAL CRACKLING SOUNDS IN DOOR AND DASHBOARD. SMELLED ELECTRICAL FIRE FUMES SLIGHTLY ONCE. ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY LIGHT WARNING THAT STABILATRAK HAD ISSUES. TOOK IT INTO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP (HARBOR, 9911 W 300 N, MICHIGAN CITY, IN. PHONE (219) 210-4266.) AFTER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATED, THEY REPORTED THAT THE ISSUE WAS A BURNED OUT DRIVERS DOOR MODULE THAT HAD OBVIOUS CHARRING ON IT. THE SERVICE TECH NOTED ON INVOICE SHEET THAT HE FOUND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS INDICATING A P0171 DIAGNOSTIC ISSUE WHICH HE TRACED TO THE "FAILED/SHORTED" DRIVER DOOR MODULE. THE SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE MODULE AND PROGRAM THE NEW MODULE. THE NEXT DAY AFTER GETTING BACK THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. A CHECK BY ME USING MY OBD UNIT SHOWS THAT ONCE AGAIN THE P0107 IS THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO AGAIN HEARD CRACKLING IN THE DOOR, BUT NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES SEEN THUS FAR. WILL BE HEADING BACK TO DEALERSHIP FIRST CHANCE THAT I GET. COST OF THE UNIT REPLACEMENT WAS $524.62. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER I NOTICED THE STRONG SMELL OF AN ELECTRIC FIRE. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER NOTICING THE SMELL SMOKE BEGAN TO COME OUT OF THE DOOR PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. BY THE TIME WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ONTO A SIDE STREET (ABOUT 30 SECONDS) THE SMELL AND SMOKE HAD INCREASED CONSIDERABLY. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WE WERE TOLD THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH WENT BAD AND CAUGHT FIRE. WE HAD TO HAVE THE ELECTRICAL REPLACED ON THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

STARTED VEHICLE, WENT TO LOWER DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND IT WOULD NOT GO DOWN. MASTER WINDOW CONTROLS AS WELL AS OUTSIDE MIRROR CONTROLS AND REMOTE KEYLESS LOCKING/UNLOCKING OF DRIVERS DOOR WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. RESEARCHED THE MOST LIKELY PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING TROUBLE WITH THE "DRIVERS DOOR MODULE". I PULLED MINE OUT OF THE DOOR AND DISCOVERED THE MODULE WAS MELTED AND BURNED AND IT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO LEAVE BURN MARKS ON THE INSULATION INSIDE THE DOOR. THE ENTIRE SWITCH BURNED OUT AND APPEARED TO MELT/SMOLDER INSIDE THE DOOR. NOT SURE IF THIS HAPPENED THE INSTANT THE SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED OR IF IT HAPPENED SOMETIME ELSE WHILE PARKED. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT "THEY REPLACE THESE ALL THE TIME" AND WERE HAPPY TO SELL ME ONE TO FOR OVER $500 INSTALLED/PROGRAMMED. I DECLINED BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET A SATISFACTORY ANSWER AS TO WHY A FUSE DIDN'T STOP THIS FROM OCCURRING AND CAUSING SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT TO CATCH FIRE INSIDE MY GARAGE. UPON READING OF AN INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSB TONIGHT, I FEEL COMPELLED TO LET YOU KNOW THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE FIXING. BY THE DEALERS OWN ADMISSION THESE ARE REPLACED FREQUENTLY. GM DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ISSUE UNTIL AFTER MANY PEOPLE WERE INCONVENIENCED OR INJURED AND IT APPEARS THEY ARE DOING THE SAME WITH THIS SITUATION. BEYONE THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT THIS IS A FAULTY PART, PLEASE INITIATE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE IT CATCHES SOMEONES HOME ON FIRE WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE. *TR

THE 2006 TRAILBLAZER HAD ISSUES WITH THE 2-WHEEL DRIVE/4-WHEEL DRIVE ACTUATOR AND SENSOR. I HAD THE SENSOR REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE ACTUATOR HANDLE WAS IN A DIFFERENT RANGE THAN WHAT THE KNOB INDICATED. AFTER REPLACEMENT, THE TRUCK INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY CHANGE WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER TRAIN SYSTEM. THE TRANSFER CASE EVENTUALLY BURNED UP DUE TO CONTINUOUS SWITCHING BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW HEARS WHILE DRIVING.

WHEN I FILLED MY CAR UP IT WOULD SUDDENLY SHOW IT WAS EMPTY & A CHECK ENGINE ICON SHOWED UP & YELLOW LOW ON GAS WARNING LIGHT STARTED DINGING LAST FALL 2010. WHEN I DROVE APPROX 25 TO 30 MILES IT WOULD REGISTER GAS NORMALLY & ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO AWAY. I FILL UP EVERY 2- 3 WEEKS NORMALLY.

IT LOW GAS WARNING WILL STAR DINGING & I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR INTERSTATE FOR NO REASON & STARTLE ME. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO SUDDENLY JERK THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE I AM STARTLED & THAT IS DANGEROUS IN ITSELF. OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN OWNED GM CARS FROM THE MID 1990'S ON AND THIS HAS CAUSED A VERY UNSAFE FEELING FOR ME. I HAVE CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND I FEEL VERY UNSAFE FOR THE 1ST TIME IN THIS VEHICLE I AM SO NERVOUS JUST DRIVING TO WORK & BACK & MY EYES ARE CONSTANTLY MONITORING THE PANEL WHEN I NEED TO KEEP FOCUSED ON MY DRIVE. I AM SO CONCERNED THAT SINCE THE GAS GAGES ARE SO WRONG WHAT WOULD JUST KEEP IT FROM "SENSING" THERE IS NO GAS AND SUDDENLY STOP! I WOULD HATE FOR IT TO TAKE A DEATH TO PUSH THIS PROBLEM TO BE A RECALL. I AM ALSO A CONSUMERS REPORT PANELIST AND THIS WILL BE ON THEIR REPORT THIS YEAR FOR SURE. I HAVE DEALT WITH THE NOISE ISSUES AS YOU DRIVE & SMALL THINGS THAT HAPPEN AS TIME GOES ON, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE FOR RECALL. I NEED A SAFE VEHICLE AND TO TRADE IS NOT THE ANSWER YET AS I WOULD NOT BE HONEST IN SOMETHING ELSE BUYING THIS CAR AND MAYBE LOSING THEIR LIFE PLEASE I BEG LISTEN TO THE NOTICES YOU HAVE RECEIVED CONCERNING THIS, THESE ARE REAL AS I HAVE SENSED MYSELF IN THEIR CONCERNS & COMPLAINTS.

IN SEPTEMBER 2010 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING ALL OF THE TIME . THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THEM TO SHUT OFF OR TURN THEM BACK ON IS TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT. THIS IS SO INCONVIENT BECAUSE THE FUSE BOX IS LOCATED IN THE BACKSEAT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE . I HAVE TO LIFT THE SEAT UP AND REMOVE TWO BOXES AND PUT IN THE FUSE AND TO REMOVE IT I HAVE TO USE PLIERS TO GET IT OUT.... ALSO MY LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS SO I AM CONSTANTLY AT THE GAS STATION GETTING GAS SO THAT I AM AWAYS SURE TO HAVE GAS IN MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO PUT THE VEHICLE ON DIAGNOSTIC FOR $99 WHICH DOES NOT GO TOWARDS THE COST OF REPAIRS WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD BECAUSE I AM UNEMPLOYED.. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY INDICATE THAT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT REPAIR IT AND MAYBE GIVE ME 10% OFF OF MY REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM THEM......

2006 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER WITH APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE VEHICLE DIED ON ME WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. ALL THE ICONS IN THE DASH BOARD LIT UP AND ENGINE ALARMS WENT OFF BEFORE IT DIED. I TRIED TO RESTART, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO THE KEY LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. A GOOD SAMARITAN GAVE ME A JUMP START AND I MADE MY WAY HOME. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. A MONTH HAS GONE BY AND THE PROBLEM STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS TIME, I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND NOTHING HAPPENED. 5 SECONDS LATER ON IT'S OWN THE VEHICLE CRANKED OVER AS I WAS ABOUT TO STEP OUT OF THE CAR. I CONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER WEEK WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS WEEK IS ANOTHER STORY, IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAVE READ BLOGS ONLINE WITH MANY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR. ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT I HAVE A DEAD CELL IN MY BATTERY. OF COURSE A MONTH AGO, THEY SAID MY BATTERY WAS GOOD. MY BROTHER INLAW ALSO OWNS A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

HERE THE TAXPAYERS BAILED GM OUT , BUT THEY WON'T TAKE CARE OF THIS HUGE PROBLEM WHERE AN OPERATOR OF THIS VEHICLE COULD RUN OUT OF FUEL AT ANY TIME NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK BECAUSE IT READS EMPTY ALL OF THE TIME WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON AS WELL. WE AS TAXPAYERS CAN BAIL THEM OUT, BUT THEY WON'T TAKE CAR OF A PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATHS WHEN A VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF FUEL AT THE WRONG TIME, AND IN THE WRONG PLACE. IS THIS WHAT IS NEEDED BEFORE GM TAKES CARE OF THIS PROBLEM? THIS SEEMS TO BE THE CASE. ALSO WITH THIS PROBLEM IT SENDS SIGNALS THAT WON'T ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PASS NY STATE VEHICLE INSPECTION WHEN THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

IN MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, THE GAS SENSOR DOES NOT WORK AND CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL AS CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO REMAIN ON EMPTY REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK AND THE REPAIR WOULD COST ME $500 TO REPLACE A PART THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY FAIL AGAIN. GM HAS REFUSED TO COVER PARTIAL EXPENSES OF THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF SAID PROBLEM. I FIRST NOTIFIED GM ON 6/23/2009 AND THEY HAVE YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OPEN INVESTIGATION :ACTION NUMBER DP10001. *TR

HORN BUTTON IN STEERING WHEEL BECOMES PROGRESSIVELY MORE DIFFICULT TO ACTUATE, EVENTUALLY FAILING ALTOGETHER. HORN CAN NO LONGER BE SOUNDED BY PRESSING ON AIR BAG COVER ON STEERING WHEEL. CONSEQUENCE IS INABILITY TO SOUND A HAZARD WARNING TO OTHER VEHICLES DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH CAN RENDER A COLLISION UNAVOIDABLE. DEFECTIVE OR MISADJUSTED HORN BUTTON SWITCH IS PROVEN AS ROOT CAUSE BECAUSE HORN CAN STILL BE ACTIVATED BY REMOTE KEY FOB. *TR

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS OUT OF MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, BUT ALL HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW WITH 18 MILES ON IT. IT IS CURRENTLY AT 42K AND I AM JUST OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY. I FILLED MY CAR UP TWICE THIS WEEK AND THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED FULL AS I LEFT THE GAS STATION. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME ( APPROX 1 MILE AWAY ) THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR TURNED ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE CENSOR HAS GONE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT FREE. THE COST IS $457.00. UNFORTUNATELY IT COSTS ME ABOUT THAT MUCH A MONTH TO KEEP THE SUCKER GASSED UP SO I CANNOT AFFORD TO 'GIVE' GM ANY MORE OF MY MONEY. I AM DRIVING IT AS IT IS AND SEARCHING FOR A CHEAPER ROUTE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TO CHILDREN THAT I HAVE TO TRANSPORT AROUND AND I AM TERRIFIED THAT I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS IS SUCH AN EXTREME AND UNNECESSARY STRESS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

WE HAVE HAD TWO 2006 TRAILBLAZERS AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FOR US. THE FIRST ONE WE BROUGHT WE OWNED IT FOR SIX MONTHS AND WE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SIX TIMES (BROKEN SWAY BAR, HEATER TWO TIMES, WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID HOLDER TWO TIMES, SHAKY FRONT WHEEL AND MOTOR MISFIRING. WE TRADED IN HOPEFULLY TO AVOID MORE PROBLEMS AND WENT AHEAD AFTER ASSURANCE THAT THIS ONE MUST JUST BE BAD AND GOT ANOTHER 2006 TRAILBLAZER. THIS ONE WE HAVE ONLY HAD FOR 2 MONTHS AND WE'RE ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS. THREE DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT HAD TO GO TO THE SHOP FOR THE RADIO NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEN THE ENGINE STARTING MISFIRING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT WAS RUNNING REALLY ROUGH. THE TECH THOUGHT THAT IT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE GAS CAP WASN'T ALL THE WAY TIGHTENED. (WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON YOU LOOSE POWER AND I PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF A CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND BARLEY MOVED THAT'S HOW I FOUND THAT OUT.) WHEN HE CALLED ME BACK HE SAID THAT I HAD TWO CRACKED SPARKS PLUGS AND THE BATTERY CABLE WAS LOOSE MAKING IT START SLOWLY. THAT WAS FIXED BUT THEN 5-27-07 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH JUST LIKE BEFORE. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTIME THAT THE ENGINE GETS WET THAT IT MAKES IT MISFIRE. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THIS SEVERAL TIMES NOW. IT HAD BEEN RAINING THAT DAY. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN FOR THE ENGINE THEY TELL ME THERE IS A LOT OF MOISTURE UNDER THE HOOD ON THE MOTOR. IT'S IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW. *TR

I HAVE HAD MANY MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER MOST RECENTLY THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD, I HAD STARTED COMPLAINING TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AT AROUND 8,000 MILES, THE TRUCK NOW HAS 17,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR IT UNDER MY WARRANTY. THE DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE DEALER TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I WAS INFORMED OF THIS ON 5/4/2007. I HAVE HAD MANY MANY REPAIRS DONE ON THIS VEHICLE, SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. THE DEALER ALSO REFUSES TO FIX THE BRAKES, THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED THEM 3,000 MILES AGO AND TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THE BRAKES TO BE BAD AGAIN, THE DEALER SAID I NEED ROTORS, PADS, AND THEY DID REPLACE A LT FT CALIPER THAT THEY FOUND TO BE BAD. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE PADS AND ROTORS. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME TO PICK MY VEHICLE UP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT IN SAFE CONDITION TO OPERATE ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY, I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT I WILL LEAVE THE TRUCK THERE WHILE I CONTACT NHTSA AND WHOEVER ELSE I FIND THAT WILL HELP ME. IF THE DEALER INSIST THAT I REMOVE MY VEHICLE, I WILL HAVE IT TOWED, I WILL NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS, AS IT IS NOT SAFE. I WILL NOW LIST SOME OF THE ITEMS MOST RECENTLY REPLACED. ALSO, ABS , CHECK ENGINE, AND SERVICE 4WD LITE WAS ON AND OFF SINCE JANUARY 2007. THE GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS REPLACED TWICE, ALSO REPLACED THE RADIO, FRONT HEATER, REAR HEATER, DVD PLAYER, BOTH UPPER BALL JOINTS, BRAKES, FT WHEEL BEARING, LT FT DOOR CONTROL, FT CALIPERS, SOME KIND OF BEARING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FRONT SUSPENSION STILL MAKES NOISE, RATTLES (THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM) THERE IS MORE BUT THIS IS WHAT I REMEMBER RIGHT NOW WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR SO MANY THINGS TO BE WRONG AND HAS ACCUSED ME OF CHANGING PARTS OVER FROM ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER. *TR
