2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Exterior Lighting Problems

The headlamps have quit working when driving at night but will come back on later. This has happened several times. I found GM recall number 14291 that is supposed to include 2006 Chevy Trailblazers and pertains to this problem. The local dealership told us that our vehicle has a vin number that is not covered. It would seem that all model 2006 Chevy Trailblazers would use the same HDM modules in them when they were built. Is ours covered?

Just need a recall sheet for shipping vehicle.

LOW BEAMS SOMETIMES FLICKER ON AND OFF AND THEN AT NIGHT WHILE IM DRIVING THEY WILL JUST GO OUT AND STAY OUT.

While driving both low beam headlights turned off. This has now happened on more than one occasion.

Low beam headlights stop working, when driving at night. This problem is happening frequently.

WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCATIONS DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT. THE FRONT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND OR THE FRONT HEADLAMPS JUST SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND JUST SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT!!

ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES IT WILL START AGAIN. ALSO I HAVE HAD THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT DRIVING AT NIGHT THEY WILL SUDDENLY GO OUT.

MY PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN WORKING DUE TO THE WIRING MELTING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT HAPPEN

Mileage: 120,000

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I STILL HAVE HIGH BEAMS, MARKER LIGHTS, BUT NOT LOW BEAM. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME THAT I NOTICED THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 213,000

THE AIRBAG DEACTIVATED LIGHT ON THE DASH CLUSTER COMES ON AND OFF BUT MOSTLY STAYS ON NOW. NO CODES SHOWING THE CAUSE. WHILE DRIVING BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF, LATER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT MELTED BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHT CONNECTORS AND WIRES AT THE BULB END, NEW CONNECTORS WERE INSTALLED. TWO DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN 1YR THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR RELAY HAS GOTTEN HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE CONNECTOR AND BURN OUT THE RELAY, CONNECTOR REPLACED TWICE AND CURRENTLY MELTING AGAIN AS FAN SPEED 1, 4, AND 5 HAVE AGAIN STOPPED WORKING. HEATER BLOWER MOTOR ALSO REPLACED TWICE CONCURRENT WITH RELAY.

THE GAUGE CLUSTER WHERE IT SHOWS THE CARS MILEAGE AND IF THE CAR IS IN PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OR DRIVE. THE LIGHTING FOR THIS PART OF THE GAUGE CLUSTER GOES OUT AND IS NOT VISIBLE AT ALL. THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR YEARS ON THE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND SIMILAR VEHICLES.

DAYLIGHT/HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES DO NOT TURN ON UPON STARTING TRUCK AND ALSO HAVE SHUT OFF SEVEN DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ON ENDANGERING NOT ONLY THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT MY FAMILY WHICH INCLUDES A 5 AND 9 YEAR OLD CHILD. AS STATED IN THE RECALL AND WHICH IS THE EXACT ACTION OCCURRING NOT EVERY TIME BUT (7 TIMES)1 TIME ALONE IS ENOUGH TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME AND MY FAMILY, THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) MAY OVERHEAT AND FAIL, CAUSING THE HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE.THIS IS THE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE CURRENTLY WHICH 2006-2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS, YET HENDRICKS CHEVY SAYS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY?S SAFETY AND LIVES ARE SERIOUSLY IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE TRAVEL OR DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE RECURRING ISSUE OF THE LIGHTS NOT BEING RELIABLE AT ALL TIMES OF TURNING ON DUE TO AN OVERHEATING ISSUE, THAT ONCE AGAIN IS OCCURRING IN THESE MODELS YET MY VIN IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE WAS ON JULY 12, 2019! PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE TO HAVE OTHER VIN NUMBERS APART OF THIS RECALL WITH WHOM EVER NECESSARY SO MY FAMILY?S SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVER?S SAFETY ARE NOT AT RISK EVERY TIME WE GET INTO OUR 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER! AGAIN THE MAIN ISSUE AT HAND IS HEADLAMPS THAT DO NOT ILLUMINATE REDUCE THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE THE ROADWAY AND REDUCE THE VEHICLE'S VISIBILITY TO ONCOMING VEHICLES, BOTH OF WHICH INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

MY LIGHTS STARTED GOING OUT QUITE A WHILE AGO, FOR NO REASON AT ALL. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THEY WOULD GO OUT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND AS TIME WENT ON I HAD TO REVERT TO USING MY HIGH BEAMS, BECAUSE AFTER CHANGING 3 SWITCHES, PUTTING NEW LIGHTS IN, HAVING THE WIRING INSPECTED WIRE BY WIRE, (IN SURCH OF A BAD WIRE). THE LOW BEAMS MIGHT COME ON FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS WHEN I FIRST START MY ENGINE, (MIGHT) EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, AND THEN THAT GO OFF AND I'M BACK TO USING THE HIGH BEAMS. I HAD TO ADJUST MY HIGH BEAMS DOWN SO I'M ABLE TO HAVE LIGHTS, WITHOUT BLINDING ON COMING TRAFFIC. THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE ANY "HIGH BEAMS" WHEN I NEED THEM. MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL, YET MY LIGHTS ARE DOING WHAT MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN DOING. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS IF NOT LONGER. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M DRIVING STRAIGHT, TURNING A CORNER OR JUST SITTING STILL, IF THE LIGHTS WANT TO TURN OFF OR COME BACK ON THEY'LL DO WHAT THEY WANT, WHENEVER THEY WANT. THE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK FOR OVER 4 MONTHS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY'RE COMING ON AGAIN FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THEY STARTED COMING ON AS I'M COMING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNING OFF MY HIGH BEAMS. BUT AGAIN JUST FOR A FEW MOMENTS. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I'M GOING IT HAPPENS FROM ZERO TO 70+.

REF:14V755000 PER HTE ABOVE RECALL, AS PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED I HAD REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BULBS AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN A 1 1/2 YEAR PERIOD. THE LAST TIME THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE I LEFT IT AS IS AWAITING A FIX. ON OR ABOUT THE FIRST OF THIS MONTH WE CAME OUT OF AN ESTABLISHMENT AFTER DARK AND AS I STARTED TO DRIVE OFF IT BECAME APPARENT THAT NEITHER LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE LIT. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE HOME WITH HIGH BEAMS ON, CREATING A SAFETY CONDITION FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS IT PROBABLY BLINDED THEM. I ONCE AGAIN INSTALLED 2 NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS. IT IS APPARENT THAT GM DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AS BEING SERIOUS AS THEY HAVE NOT MADE A FIX FOR IT. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD HIT THEM WITH A MILLION DOLLAR FINE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION TO GET THIS SAFETY ITEM CORRECTED. WE ARE PERHAPS FORTUNATE BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE DRIVING AND NOT THE WIFE ON A DARK COUNTRY ROAD AND IT SUDDENLY BURNT OUT. YOU HAVE NOW BEEN NOTIFIED TWICE, IN THE EVENT SOMEONE BECOMES INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFLECT I OF COURSE WILL USE THESE ADVISEMENTS TO YOU IN COURT PROCEEDINGS.

MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALER, HERTRIECH'S IN EASTON MD, THEY CALLED THE FOLLOWING DAY AND CANCELED THE APPOINTMENT ADVISING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. SINCE THEN MY WIFE HAS BEEN STOPPED 3 MORE TIMES AND ISSUED WARNINGS, EVEN AFTER SHOWING THE OFFICERS THE RECALL LETTER. WE DECIDED TO DO A FOLLOW UP ON THE REPLACEMENT PART AND HERTRIECH HAS STATED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IS NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR UP TO A YEAR. IN THE MEANTIME THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE AT RISK FOR INJURY OR EVEN DEATH IF THE OTHER HEADLIGHT DECIDES TO QUIT WHILE DRIVING ON DARK ROAD AT NIGHT.

LAST YEAR, I WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER FOR A BURNED OUT HEADLAMP. I HAD IT REPLACED AND IT BURNED OUT AGAIN ON MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER. THE MECHANIC WHO LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE TOLD ME IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR MANY GM VEHICLES, NAMELY AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE. I SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I NOW SEE THAT THE THERE IS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN GM MODELS - INCLUDING SOME 06 TRAILBLAZERS. HOWEVER, CHEVROLET TELLS ME MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS AN ISSUE & MORE VEHICLES SHOULD BE INCLUDED. *TR

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

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.

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
