Keeps blowing #46 headlight relay. Happens every 2-3 weeks. When this happens the low beams stop working. I have to switch to high beams to continue driving.

I've had the brakes replaced because I thought they were an issue I was having with my ABS. But my car will randomly lock its brakes as I'm driving, no matter what speed. I'm scared to drive it. It also almost loses all power after breaking but then speeds up on its own making it almost impossible to slow down or brake.

My doors have had water seeping in them the whole time and I’ve replaced my speakers multiple times.

My headlights turn off bybthemselves while driving, other times they wont turn off at all after car is turned off even while in park, and other times they turn on while switched to off position randomly in the middle of te night resulting in a dead battery come morning. My driver window no longer works as well as driver power locks. Happening since 2020 random at first now permentant removal of fuse switch in order to shut off lights and the fuse switch is hot to the touch upon removal.

I NOTICED AROUND MARCH 18TH 2021,THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WAS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND JUST 2 DAYS AGO MY BATTERY DIED APRIL 12TH 2021 DUE TO MY IGNITION SWITCH BEING STUCK IT WAS PARKED ALREADY IN MY GARAGE

THE FIRST THING TO GO WRONG WAS THE POWER WINDOWS DON'T WORK PROPERLY IN THE WINTER, NOW THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR INTERMITTENTLY, AND THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM IS THE HEADLIGHTS WON'T WORK AT ALL, I CALLED THE LOCAL SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THAT THE ELECTRICAL RECALLS WERE VIN SPECIFIC, EVEN THO I HAD THE CORRECT MAKE MODEL AND YEAR MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL! I'M VERY UPSET THAT THEY CAN BE VIN SPECIFIC BUT I'M HAVING ALL THE ISSUES ON THE RECALLS!! I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY VEHICLE IF IT IS RAINING, FOGGY, OR DARK BECAUSE I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS!!! I ALSO LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR IN THE RAIN AND THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE STABILITRAK, THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, LUCKILY I STOPPED MY CAR BEFORE I CRASHED INTO ANYTHING

FFUSE BLOCK CAUGHT ON FIRE BECAUSE OF BAD RELAY. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT ON MY WAY HOME FROM MISSOULA MONTANA TO HAMILTON MONTANA. THANKFULLY THE HIGH BEAMS STILL WORKED . ON OPENING THE FUSE BLOCK THE DAY AND LOW BEAM LIGHS RELAY HAD MELTED A 1/2 INCH HOLE IN THE FUSE BLOCK.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT STARTED PRODUCING A LIGHT SMOKE THROUGH DEFROST VENT ON PASSENGER SIDE. I STOPPED AND OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE IF SOMETHING WAS ON FIRE IN THE ENGINE AREA AND THERE WAS NOT.

THE SPEEDOMETER KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STICKS AT A HIGHER SPEED AFTER DECELERATING OR STOPPING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHAT SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP, SPRING/SUMMER/FALL. MAKING A HARD BRAKING STOP, LIKE AT AN INTERSECTION, WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE THE NEEDLE TO DROP BACK 5-10 MPH, AS WILL TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. MOST SPECIFICALLY, YESTERDAY, MAY 31, 2019, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WOULDN'T GO BACK DOWN AT ALL, AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS "PEGGED" PAST THE TOP END OF 110MPH. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL.

SOLID STATE RELAY MODULE FOR LOW BEAM - HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. WAS ABLE TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS TO CONTINUE HOME, BUT NOT WITHOUT BLINDING OTHER VEHICLES. REPLACED THE SOLID STATE RELAY AT A LOCAL AUTOZONE STORE.

I PARKED MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN MY DRIVEWAY SUNDAY 6/21/2015. I RECEIVED A CALL AN HOUR LATER FROM MY NEIGHBOR THAT MY LIGHTS WAS STILL ON. I ALWAYS HAVE MY LIGHTS SET THAT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THEY GO OFF AUTOMATICALLY. TRIED TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS WITH NO LUCK. I SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. FOUND THE FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE BAY AND NOTICED THAT THE HDM MODULE #45 WAS COMPLETELY MELTED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUTO SHOP, NOT ONLY DID THEY FIND THAT THE HDM MODULE #45 WAS MELTED, IT HAD RUINED THE MAIN FUSE CIRCUIT BOARD FROM THE HEAT. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAYLIGHT AND NOT AT NIGHT, BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD HEADLIGHTS VERY LONG WITH THIS MODULE BEING MELTED. ALSO THIS COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE BAY WITH THE AMOUNT OF HEAT THAT WAS COMING OFF OF THE MELTED HDM MODULE. THIS I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IN THE TRAILBLAZERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

FUEL GAUGE READ FULL TANK WHEN IN FACT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. I RAN OUT OF GAS IN MY DRIVEWAY.

I DON'T HAVE EXACT DATE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IT IS JUST AN ESTIMATE. BUT ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. ALSO DON'T HAVE VIN WITH ME BUT CAN GET IT IF NEEDED. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT. LAMB'S CHEVROLET IN ONIDA, SD REPLACED IT. NOW A FEW MONTHS AGO THE PASSENGER REGULATOR WENT OUT AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME WELL THEY ONLY HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON THEM. WARRANTY OR NOT IT SHOULD HAVE NOT GONE OUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS. I AM FIGHTING WITH THEM ON PAYING FOR IT. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS ON WINDOW REGULATORS WITH THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE REPLACING THIS EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. ALSO THEY HAVE ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER WHY IT COULD HAVE GONE OUT WHILE ALL IN ALL THEY PROBABLY PUT IN A DEFECTIVE OR REFURBISHED ONE WHICH DEALER THESE DAYS ARE FAMOUS FOR AND CHARGING CUSTOMERS FULL PRICE.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK HEADING HOME AND NOTICED THE ROAD LOOKED DARK. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND REALIZED I HAD NO LOW BEAMS. MY BLINKERS, FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ALL WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON, BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS. MY HEADLIGHTS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE INTERMITTENTLY WENT OUT OFF AND ON (APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES) OVER THE PAST YEAR. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO IT THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. WHEN RESEARCHING WHAT COULD CAUSE BOTH LIGHTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, I CAME ACROSS THE LATEST RECALL INFO. I CALLED CHEVY AND GAVE THEM MY VIN AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. STRANGE, SINCE I HAVE ALL THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE RECALL AND MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY ALL OF THE OTHER RECALLS ON IT SO FAR. *TR

I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE OTHER TRAILBLAZERS ARE HAVING AND HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS ISSUE MYSELF IF I WANTED IT TO BE FIXED. I NEED GM TO KNOW THAT MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT YOUR AGENCY NOTIFIES THEM OF WHEN A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND THAT HE WOULD DO NOTHING TO HELP ME. I HAVE A WIFE AND A SON. OUR LIFE IS IN THEIR HANDS. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS RECALL THROUGH SO OTHER FAMILIES DON'T EXPERIENCE THE NEAR DEAD EXPERIENCE THAT WE DID.

INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING. IN NOVEMBER, MY FUEL GAUGE AND DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER BEGAN TO SPONTANEOUSLY READ ERRATICALLY AND WOULD NOT ACCURATELY SHOW ME HOW MUCH GAS I HAD. CONDITION HAS RAPIDLY PROGRESSED TO WHERE THE FUEL GAUGE ALMOST CONSTANTLY READS EMPTY, LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND FUEL LEVEL LOW IS DISPLAYED IN THE DIC. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 10054B WHICH STATES IT IS A PREMATURE WEARING OF THE FUEL SENSOR AND I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A MAILED NOTICE FROM GM REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SUCH NOTICE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN AND MY WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED SO THERE WILL NOT BE "VEHICLE ELIGIBILITY" FOR THE DEALER TO CONFIRM THROUGH THE "APPLICABLE WARRANTIES SECTION IN THE GLOBAL WARRANTY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM." THIS ISSUE IS BIGGER THAN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM AND NEEDS TO BE A FULL RECALL, NOT A 50/50 SHARED RESPONSIBILITY WITH THE CUSTOMER WHEN GM ACKNOWLEDGES THE ISSUE IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT PREMATURELY WEARS AND CAUSES THE MALFUNCTION. ALSO, THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP INCLUDING THE SENDING UNIT AND FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, NOT JUST THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. *TR

THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS RESET WHEN YOU USE THE REMOTE THE UNLOCK THE CAR. THEY ARE PRESET FOR DRIVER 1 & 2 AND WHICH EVER REMOTE UNLOCKS THE CAR THE MIRRORS WILL RE-ALIGN THEMSELVES SOMETIMES MOVING AROUND FOR 60 SECONDS OR MORE. AFTER ALL THE MOVEMENT THEY ARE NOT ALIGNED FOR DRIVER 1 OR 2. IT'S A PAIN TO HAVE TO REALIGN BOTH MIRRORS EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. I HAVE POSITIONED THE MIRRORS WHERE I WANT THEM, PUSH THE BUTTON TO SET THEM, WAIT FOR TWO BEEPS, AND NEXT TIME I START THE CAR, THEY ARE RANDOMLY MOVING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE MIRRORS SEEM TO BE OK FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN START WITH THE RANDOM REPOSITIONING AGAIN.

MY MASTER WINDOW SWITCH CAUGHT FIRE ON 9/27/14. I WOKE UP THAT MORNING TO FIND THAT MY WINDOW DID NOT WORK WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THERE WAS A SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING ON MY SIDE OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DOOR PANEL. I TOOK OUT THE SWITCH AND IT WAS BURNED. IT ALSO BURNED SOME OF THE MATERIAL INSIDE OF THE DOOR. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN RANDOMLY WITH THE SMOKE COMING OUT OF IT. I TOOK IT MY FATHERS HOUSE WHERE HE DISCONNECTED THE MODULE. THE WINDOW WAS HALF DOWN. IT WAS 45 DEGREES THAT MORNING . I PAID SOMEONE TO PUT THE WINDOW BACK UP WITH A PRICE OF $150 DUE TO EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER AND HAVING A 2 YEAR OLD. I WENT TO CREW CHEVEROLET TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED WHEN THEY SAID THAT ALL 2005-2007 MASTER DOOR SWITCH WAS ON RECALL DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT MAY CAUSE THE SWITCH TO CATCH FIRE. WHEN THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 AND IM NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THEN I BELIEVE I SHOULD GET A NEW PART DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $405 FOR THE PART AND PROGRAMMING BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT MY MOTOR FOR MY WINDOW WAS NOT DAMAGED AS WELL. I CONTACTED GM MYSELF AND THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON 2005-2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN MY STATE JUST NOT MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2007. MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE 100.00 TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS. CALLED ANOTHER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL HAVE TO ORDER THE PARTS, IF INDEED THE RECALL IS THE PROBLEM. THE WINDOW WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN BY ITSELF, WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION, TODAY. THERE IS ALSO A VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL IN THE CAR.

I HAD THE RECALL FOR THE DOOR WINDOW MASTER CONTROL TAKEN CARE OF ABOUT 9 MONTHS- 1 YEAR AGO. TODAY, THE WINDOW OR DOOR LOCK DID NOT WORK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TRY THE POWER MIRROR ADJUST, THE WINDOW WENT DOWN AND SMOKE CAME FROM THE DOOR PANEL. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PRETTY MUCH TOUGH LUCK BECAUSE THEY ALREADY TOOK CARE OF THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. REALLY? I'M GUESSING THE MODULE WAS BAD AND CORRODED WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF THE WINDOW WORKS, SEAL THE PROBLEM AREA AND SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY. AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL, THE WINDOW AND OTHER COMPONENTS DID WORK BUT NOW THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM IS SHOWING UP. I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO WATCH RECALL WORK BEING DONE BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS PROBLEM RESULTED FROM LIQUID LEAKING IN AT ONE TIME AND CAUSING DAMAGE. IT JUST TOOK FOR TODAY TO SHOW UP AND CAUSE A PROBLEM. MY INTERIOR STINKS OF BURNT PLASTIC. MY WINDOW IS PARTIALLY DOWN AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED. I'VE READ ONLINE FORUMS CONSISTING OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT I EXPERIENCED TODAY WITH MY TRAILBLAZER. IF THIS WAS JUST A RANDOM PROBLEM OR SOMETHING CAUSED FROM MY USE OR NEGLIGENCE, I WOULD MAN UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ON MY OWN... BUT IT'S NOT. GM USED A BAND AID TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SOMEBODY WILL END UP GETTING HURT OR BURNED YET. I HAVE A PROSTHETIC LEG AND WHAT IF THE DOOR LOCKS WERE LOCKED SHUT AND THE THING STARTED ON FIRE? GM LISTENED AS I [XXX] ABOUT IT BUT DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO OFFER FOR A SOLUTION. I WILL TAKE IT TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER FOR THEIR "DIAGNOSIS" ON A FAULTY SWITCH AND WORKMANSHIP. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT HAPPENED TODAY AND THE STENCH IN MY VEHICLE. I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET HURT BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE THE WAY ANYTHING GETS SOLVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS STARTING TO FLUCTUATE. I JUST FILLED IT UP AND WHEN I GO DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL GO DOWN AT LEAST A QUARTER OF A TANK AND WHEN I STOP AND LET IT RUN IDLE FOR AWHILE IT WILL GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS. IT JUST STARTED THIS PAST WEEK. FROM WHAT I AM READING, IT WON'T BELONG BEFORE I WILL HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER BUNCH OF MONEY INTO IT. LAST MONTH I HAD TO PUT A NEW THROTTLE BODY ON IT BECAUSE THE SENSORS WENT BAD AND WITH THIS YEAR THE SENSORS ARE IN THE THROTTLE BODY, SO YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE THING. AS I WAS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE PART FOR THE SEAT CONTROLS ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE SEAT JUST BUSTED OFF. EVERYTIME IT GETS COLDER OUT, THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM WON'T STAY ON. IT WAS ALWAYS OFF IN THE WINTER TIME, NEVER WORKED. WHEN LIVING IN MICHIGAN AND GETTING LAKE EFFECT SNOW ALOT OF THE TIME, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.

NOT JUST THE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM, HOW ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS HAVING CONTROL OVER THEIR WINDOWS AND LOCKS????? WHEN THE DRIVER SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER WINDOW, LOCKS ECT.......PER LAW THE DRIVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYONE IN ANY VEHICLE....HOW CAN THE DRIVER OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS ONGOING PROBLEM BE IN CONTROL OF THE LOCKS AND WINDOWS IF THEY DO NOT WORK???? THIS COULD CAUSE MINOR TO FATAL INJURIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN INCLUDING ADULTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON GM! *TR UPDATED 05/29/13*LJ UPDATED 05/31/2013 *JS

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW LOWERED BY IT'S SELF, SOON THERE AFTER A STRONG SMELL OF SMOKE, CAME OUT FROM THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE POWER LOCKS, AND WINDOWS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD, AS THE CONTROL WAS LITERALLY SPARKING THE WINDOW THEN WENT UP ON IT'S OWN AND THERE AFTER IT DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATED THAT PARTS ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE, HOWEVER THEY STATE THAT WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE THEY WILL CALL ME IN THE MEAN TIME THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE PARKED OUT DOORS SINCE IT CAN STILL CATCH ON FIRE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND NOW I AM STUCK WITHOUT A CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION. GM ALSO STATES THAT THESE MODULES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JANUARY 2013...NOTE THE MODULE LITERALLY MELTED. *TR

HI, THE WINDOWS IN MY TRAILBLAZER WON'T OPEN. THEN OPEN SOMETIMES BUT THEN CLOSE THEMSELVES. I CAN HEAR CRACKLING INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THE POWER IS ALSO SURGING THROUGHOUT MY TRUCK, I THEN HEAR CLICKING. I AM IN CANADA, NOT MONTANA, BUT THERE IS A USA RECALL ON A DOOR MODULE THAT I THINK IS THE PROBLEM. I AM WRITING YOU BECAUSE IT WASN'T DISCLOSED TO ME AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE, BUT MY TRUCK WAS BOUGHT USED IN THE USA, BROUGHT INTO CANADA BY A DEALER, IT WAS APPARENTLY A RENTAL AT ONE TIME, AND IT WAS SOLD TO ME BY SOUTHPARK USED LOT IN EDMONTON, AB IN LATE 2007. THIS IS THE USED CAR LOT FOR DON WHEATON CHEVY/OLDS, IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 18,000KM ON IT. I FOUND OUT IT WAS A RENTAL FROM A CHEVY SALESMAN ABOUT 3-4 YEARS LATER WHEN I WENT TO SEE ABOUT TRADING IT IN. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS NOT BEEN THE RELIABLE VEHICLE I NEEDED WITH KIDS BUT I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DEAL WITH IT NOT ABLE TO AFFORD ANOTHER. I ACTUALLY BOUGH A SECOND CAR 2 YEARS AGO FOR $550, IT'S A 87 THUNDERBIRD COUP LX AND I HAVE HAD TO USE THIS CAR MANY MANY TIMES BECAUSE THE TRUCK ISN'T WORKING HALF THE TIME AND IT COSTS ME PILES AND PILES OF MONEY, IT'S VERY STRESSFUL. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND DOING MY BEST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE JUST TO GET BY. I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING SPECIAL HERE. I HAVE HAD TO PAY A LOT TO KEEP THIS TRUCK ON THE ROAD ALREADY, I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES THAT THE CHEVY DEALER WOULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY CAN'T "RECREATE" THE ISSUES AND YET I TAKE IT TO A NON DEALER MECHANIC AND THEY FIND THE ISSUES JUST FINE AND THIS IS WRONG BECAUSE I HAD FULL WARRANTY TO PAY IT ALL. PLEASE SEE RECALL: 12180 ESTABLISHED THIS YEAR, I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF SOMEONE COULD HELP. WE ARE IN FULL SWING OF WINTER HERE AND I NEED TO HAVE FUNCTIONING WINDOWS AND DO NOT WANT TO CATCH FIRE ESPECIALLY WITH SOMEONE ELSE WITH ME, CHILDREN OR GRANDMA, PLEASE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY. AFTER A FILLUP, I DROVE TO WORK, WHEN I DROVE HOME LATER, THE GAS GAUGE READ NEAR EMPTY. I THOUGHT SOMEONE STOLE GAS FROM MY TANK. I GET OFF WORK AT MIDNIGHT AND LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, SO I WAS VERY WORRIED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF GAS BEFORE I GOT HOME. (THERE ARE NO GAS STATIONS ON MY ROUTE). NEXT DAY I GOT A CAN OF GAS TO FILL THE TANK ENOUGH TO GET ME TO A STATION, AND I FOUND THE TANK TO BE FULL. SINCE THEN THE GAUGE HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING BETWEEN HALF FULL AND EMPTY ACTIVATING THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT. THIS IS VERY UNNERVING AND I WON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT NOW. ASKED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON AND GM WILL PAY HALF REPAIR COST. CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE HELP LINE CONFIRMED THEY HAVE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT HALF PRICE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO GET REPAIRS DONE WHEN THEY ARE ADMITTING IT IS DEFECTIVE?. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND WINDOW SWITCH MODULE FAILED INCREMENTLY STARTING WITH THE WINDOWS THEN DOOR AND WINDOW LOCKS.THIS FAILURE OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY WEEK, ENDING WITH A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SWITCH MODULE.

CHEVY DEALER SAYS THIS WINDOW SWITCH IS 426 DOLLARS PLUS LABOR AND THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM IS ANOTHER 450 DOLLARS.

AFTER THE SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC WAS NO LONGER THERE, ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVERS DOOR MODULE LIGHTS (DRIVERS, PASSENGER, REAR WINDOWS, WINDOW LOCKS, AND LOCK) WERE FLICKERING AND NOTICEABLY POWER SURGING. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY LEAD TO A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM AND IF ANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. SEEMED TO BE A PRETTY POPULAR PROBLEM AMONG TRAILBLAZER OWNERS RANGING FROM 2004 AND UP.

WHICH THIS CREATES A BIG PROBLEM SINCE I TRANSPORT HANDICAP PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE. ALSO DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPERATES VERY SLOW, SOMETIMES IT HESITATES ON ROLLING UP. I HAVE TO LET IT SET FOR A WHILE, THEN TRY ROLLING IT UP AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES DOING THIS, IT HAS FINALLY ROLLED UP ALL THE WAY. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS, WITHOUT CONSUMER PAYING FOR ANY OF IT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE SEEM TO BE ONGOING PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY REFERENCE MY DOOR PANEL HASN'T CAUGHT FIRE YET, WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. ALSO MY SLICK, SKID CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON VERY EASILY WHEN I TAKE OFF AND STAY ON TILL I CAN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, AND HOPE DOESN'T COME BACK ON WHEN I START TO DRIVE. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. I ALSO HAVE NO POWER ANYTHING ON MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. *TR

MY RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR PANEL CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY AND WAS NOT RUNNING. WHEN WILL THIS BE RECALLED? DOES SOME ONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS FIXED. THIS IS A KNOWN ON GOING ISSUE. ITS SAD WHEN YOU LOOK OUT YOUR DOOR AND SEE YOUR CAR SMOKING WHILE IT IS NOT RUNNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS OPEN AND THERE WAS AN ODOR OF SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE DOOR MECHANISM WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE DOOR MECHANISM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. UPDATED 04/10/12*LJ UPDATED 04/16/12

INITIALLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK AND WINDOW CONTROLS (FOR ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS) STOPPED WORKING. ON FEBRUARY 17TH, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE WAS VISIBLY EMITTING FROM THE INNER DOOR HANDLE. THE ENTIRE SWITCHING SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I WOKE UP ONE MORNING TO A SMOKY GARAGE AND NOTICED MY DRIVER DOOR MODULE HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE, LUCKILY THE WHOLE TRUCK DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE IN MY GARAGE WHILE MY FAMILY AND I WERE INSIDE OUR HOME SLEEPING. I CAN NO LONGER CONTROL THE POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS IN MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY TRIED CHARGING ME NEARLY $1000.00 FOR A MODULE AND DOOR PANEL REPLACEMENT AND NOTIFIED ME THERE WERE NO SUCH RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT I ALSO HAD ANOTHER FIRE WHILE AT A DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW, THE WIRING TO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTERS INSIDE MY VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE DOOR AGAIN THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. SO MANY WHAT IF QUESTIONS COME TO MIND. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TRAILBLAZER I HAVE KNOWN OR READ UPON TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OR EVEN FIRE DAMAGE. GM DEFINITELY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE THERE IS HARM TO ANYONE DUE TO THESE UNKNOWN FIRES. *TR

I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS. ON 2/22/12 THE CONTROLS DID NOT WORK FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND THE WINDOW WAS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION. ON 2/23/12 WHEN RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE THE WINDOW WAS IN THE COMPLETE DOWN POSITION. I STARTED MY VEHICLE IN ATTEMPT TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW BUT THE CONTROLS DIDN'T WORK. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS I NOTICED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL COMING FROM THE CONTROLS. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND POPPED OFF THE CONTROL MODULE TO FIND SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE OPENING. I DISCONNECTED THE WIRES AND REMOVED THE MODULE. I COULD SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INTERNAL FIRE IN THE MODULE DUE TO THE MELTED PLASTIC AND HOUSING OF THE UNIT. I'M GLAD THAT I HAVE SOME SENSE OF MECHANICAL APTITUDE BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE. *TR

THE CONTACT ALSO SMELLED A BURNING ODOR BUT DID NOT SEE SMOKE OR A FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT AFTER REMOVING THE DOOR, THE CONNECTORS IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WERE FOUND TO BE MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS LATER CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I LEFT MY HOUSE FOR WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 0650 HRS ON FEBRUARY 19TH, 2012. UPON EXITING MY NEIGHBORHOOD'S ENTRANCE, I ACCELERATED TO 35 MPH. ABOUT 100 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD, I BEGIN TO SMELL BURNING PLASTIC AND AS I LOOKED DOWN I OBSERVED THICK SMOKE BILLOWING FROM THE OPENINGS OF MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO EXCEPT STOP THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF. EVEN WHEN OFF, THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW UNTIL I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS LATE TO WORK, SO I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE MY WAY TO WORK IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE DOME LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF, THE GAS GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS/LOCKS WERE RENDERED INOPERATIVE. AS I PULLED INTO WORK, I GLANCED OVER AND SAW THE SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE DOOR PANEL AGAIN, BUT IT WAS NOT AS THICK AS THE FIRST TIME. THANKFULLY, MY COWORKERS WERE STANDING BY READY TO ASSIST ME AS IT HAD BEGUN TO RAIN. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH WORSE IF THE DOOR PANEL HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE. I HAVE A NEWBORN SON WHO IS APPROXIMATELY 5 WEEKS OLD AND THE TRAILBLAZER IS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORT. IT MAKES ME ANGRY TO THINK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HIM BEING IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND HAVING AN EVENT SUCH AS THIS OCCUR. HOPEFULLY GM WILL ISSUE A RECALL. UNTIL THEN, I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON A FAULTY VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOW REGULATORS, I HAD THE SWITCH AND ELECTRICAL REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW NOT WORKING AGAIN. ALSO, NOW THE WINDOW REGULATOR IS BROKEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. AT THE SAME TIME I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL, I CAN TELL THAT IN COMBINATION WITH THE WINDOW PROBLEMS THE LIGHTING ON THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE LIGHT IS DIMMED ON ONE SIDE. OVERALL, THE WINDOWS ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE FACT THEY WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN DEPENDING ON THE ISSUE AND I'M CONCERNED WITH THE FIRE CONCERN BECAUSE IT DOES IT APPEAR WHEN THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW THERE APPEARED TO BE MELTING OF SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BURNT. *TR

AT 45,000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TIERODS REPLACED AND THERE IS STILL SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL ASSEMBLY, BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SQUEAK IS. IT COULD BE A BEARING I HAVE BEEN TOLD, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WITHOUT TEARING IT ALL DOWN. 2ND IS THE POWER WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS GETTING SLOWER TO COME UP AND I CAN SMELL WIRES BURNING AT TIMES (ALTHOUGH I AM NOT SURE IF THE 2 ARE RELATED) I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE "IDLER PULLEY" AT 42,000 MILES.....THIS SEEMS RIDICULOUS AS IT KEEPS TURNING OUT TO BE ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER????? *TR

ON OR ABOUT 18 OCT 2011, I SMELLED A BURNT ELECTRICAL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE, I BEGAN CHECKING FOR THE SOURCE AND FOUND THAT WHEN I ADJUSTED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR MIRROR, THE DRIVERS WINDOW LOWERED, AND THE SMELL GOT STRONGER, WHEN THE MIRROR ADJUSTMENT SWITCH WAS RETURNED TO THE CENTER(NEUTRAL) POSITION, THE DRIVERS WINDOW SWITCH OPERATED THE PASSENGER WINDOW. I REMOVED THE DRIVERS DOOR SWITCH MODULE, I FOUND IT TO BE THE SOURCE, AS I REPEATED THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS, I ACTUALLY SAW THE WHITE HOT ARCING TAKING PLACE WITHIN THE SWITCHES (THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS WERE NOT BURNT OR DAMAGED). I DISCONNECTED AND REMOVED THE SWITCH MODULE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHEREAS, THEY ORDERED THE NEW PART AND REPLACED IT (PARTS & LABOR $460.73 + TAX). I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WASN'T...NOW MY QUESTION IS...IS THE NEW SWITCH MODULE ALSO GOING TO ARC EVENTUALLY? AM I OUT $460.00? *TR

FIRST OCCURRENCE, DRIVER WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN EARLY SUMMER 2010. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE CHEVY I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM AND THE WINDOW PART WAS REPLACED. FROM TIME TO TIME I WOULD SMELL BURNING BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS MY CAR, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I WAS DRIVING SO I COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT TO CHEVY. I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT JANUARY 2012 AND HAD TO BRING IT TO A BODY REPAIR SHOP AND THY NOTICED THE DRIVER DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS MELTED. SINCE IT'S A 2007 MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND I PAID THE BODY SHOP TO REPLACE THE PART $425. I CALLED CHEVY BECAUSE I SAW IN THE NEWS THAT THESE PARTS ARE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR CATCHING ON FIRE AND THEY SAID THAT THE NEXT TIME I SMELL BURNING OR MELTING I NEED TO BRING IT TO THEM RIGHT AWAY. *TR

#1-THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ON THIS VEHICLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD GET AN ANSWER FOR WHY IT WOULD JUST SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING. IT WAS THERE THAT I FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THEY COULD FIX IT FOR $500. I ENDED UP HAVING JUST THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. CHEVROLET IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AS THEY SENT ME A PAPER SAYING THAT IF I GOT IT REPAIRED AT A CHEVY GARAGE THEY WOULD REIMBURSE 50% OF THE COSTS. TO ME HAVING BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS CHEVY SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED NOT ME! #2- DURING ROUTINE DRIVING WE ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND IT FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. I TRIED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAD NO LUCK. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I LOOKED TO SEE IF MAYBE A WIRE WAS CUT IN THE DOOR HINGE AREA, WHICH IT WASN'T, AND PUT MY FINGER ON THE SWITCH AND NOTICED IT WAS EXTREMELY WARM. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, LEFT THE DOOR OPENED AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL DOWN. IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND STILL GETS VERY WARM WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. THE TRANSMISSION MESSED UP ORIGINALLY AND NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS GAUGE INDICATOR. THIS RECENT PROBLEM STARTED LAST YEAR 2010. THE LEVELS WERE READING INACCURATELY AT THAT TIME AND SEEMED TO HAVE REPAIRED ITSELF. THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, THE INDICATORS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TRUCK AND I AM PARANOID AND CONSTANTLY GOING TO THE STORE TO ADD MORE GAS. I AM UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE MAJORITY OF CHEVY VEHICLES AND GM ACTUALLY KNOWS THAT THE PROBLEM EXIST AND HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP THE MILLIONS OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASED THESE CARS. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS ALL SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW; SO I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER. IS THERE ANY HELP FOR THE CONSUMERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED GM VEHICLES. I COULD SEE IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH ONE LINE OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY GM BUT THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS NUMEROUS OF TIMES BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE THAT GM CAN SCAM MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS AND NOT FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

CHEVY VEHICLES HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) ON ALL VEHICLE TYPES. THE FAILURE OCCURS AT THE WHEEL ITSELF. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SAFETY DEVICE, IT HAS TURNED INTO A USELESS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WHICH NO OWNER CAN AFFORD TO KEEP UP WITH . WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM AT THE WHEEL IS VERY SENSITIVE AND FAILS QUICKLY. THE AMOUNT OF REPAIR FOR ONE UNIT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $200, AND THAT IS FOR ONE WHEEL. CHEVY SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES, THAT HAVE THE TPMS SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO ONE VEHICLE, IF YOU DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON TPMS AND CHEVY OR GM YOU'LL FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER I HAD THE FIRST ONE REPLACED THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I SHOULDN'T BOTHER BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY FAIL AGAIN. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT HE WISHES THAT CHEVY WOULD INSTALL A BETTER SYSTEM, BECAUSE IT WILL ADVISE YOU THAT YOUR TPMS IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND AFTER IT FAILS, DRIVERS WILL IGNORE THE MESSAGE, WHICH IS A LARGER SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE DOT WOULD ALLOW GM TO CONTINUE TO USE FAULTY PARTS WHICH IS A SAFETY RELATED ITEM. THE CONSUMER SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES, AND HOPEFULLY A PERSON DOESN'T LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE ACTION BY THE DOT. I HOPE TO SEE A RECALL ISSUED SOON. *TR

I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND BEGAN TO EXAMINE THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, I OBSERVED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL. I THEN TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND EXITED LEAVING THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OPEN TO OBSERVE. THE SMOKE THAN SUBSIDED, BUT THE CONTROL PANEL WHICH IS USED TO OPEN THE WINDOWS, DOORS AND UNLOCK THE DOOR WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. I DROVE HOME AT WHICH TIME I OPENED UP OR REMOVED THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL PANEL. THE PLASTIC CASING WAS MELTED AND BURNED. I THAN REFERRED TO THE OWNERS MANUAL AND LOCATED THE FUSE BOX AND THE FUSE, WHICH WAS BURNED OUT, THIS MAY HAVE STOPPED THE FIRE OR SHORT.

MY 2007 GM TRAIL BLAZER'S FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO SHOW AN EMPTY TANK WHEN I WOULD FILL IT UP, AND THEN WHEN I WOULD DRIVE FOR A WHILE, IT WOULD REGISTER FULL.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHTSTARTED COMING ON, THEN THE STABIL-TRAX AND THE ENGINE DECELERATION LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. WHEN THIS STARTED, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN EVERY TIME THE LIGHTS CAME ON.AT FIRST IT WAS AT INTERVALS OF 40 TO 140 MILES. WHENEVER THE ENGINE FIRST STARTED THIS, YOU COULD SHUT THE IGNITION OFF FOR 1-2 MIN. , THEN THE VEHICLE COULD BE STARTED AND DRIVEN UNTIL THE LIGHTS CAME ON. DOTSON CHEVROLET, IN BIG SONNE GAP, VA.

SO FAR, WE HAVE LUCKILY BEEN DRIVING IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON THE INTERSTATE OF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC , IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SAYS THE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

THIS IS A TRAILBLAZER SUPER SPORT EQUIPPED WITH THE 395 HP 400 FT LB ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER. I HAVE SUED GM FOR THIS BEING A LEMON AND WAS PAID OFF. YET NO FIX. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING. OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM SAYS BECAUSE OTHERS DO IT THE VEHICLE IS ACTING AS DESIGNED. PER GEORGE VALEZ GM LEGAL OFFICE . GM SERVICE REQUEST # 71-661522934 "HIGH IDLE" I HAVE LOGS WHERE THE ACCELERATION TAKES PLACE FROM 9 MPH TO 11 MPH FOR 11 SECONDS OF A TBSS WILD RIDE WITH NO THROTTLE. I START BY DOWNSHIFTING IT IN MANUAL 1ST WHILE SLOWING DOWN. (BRAKES REQUIRED TO SLOW FROM 2K HANG UP RPM ON DOWN.) WHEN THE ENGINE IS SLOWING DOWN THERE IS A BUMP AT ~2000 RPM WHERE THE ENGINE SPEED RAISES ABOVE THE INPUT SHAFT SPEED OF THE TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO THIS IT WAS TURNING SLOWER AND COMPRESSION BRAKING. TIME HERE IS 0 OF THE 11 SECONDS. I HIT THE BRAKES AT 14 MPH TO PULL THE SPEED DOWN FROM 2K RPM AND LET OFF AT 9MPH 3 SECONDS LATER. STARTING AT 1381 RPM FOR THE LOWEST ENGINE RPM, TRANS INPUT SHAFT 50 RPM SLOWER THEN THE ENGINE INDICATING ACCELERATION. AC CLUTCH JUST HAPPENS TO KICK IN HERE. "HERE WE GO!" I SAY. THE NEXT 8 SECONDS WE HAVE THE ENGINE HITS 1650 RPM AND HUNTS AROUND THIS RPM +- 75 RPM WHILE WE HIT 11 MPH. AT 8.4 SECONDS THE ENGINE CUTS BACK TO 1468 RPM. THIS IS WHEN THE TRANS INPUT SPEED IS FASTER THAN THE ENGINE RPM BY AROUND 50 - 70 RPM, THIS INDICATES ENGINE FINALLY SLOWING THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IT ONLY TAKES 5 SECONDS FROM THIS POINT TO SLOW DOWN FROM 11 MPH TO 5MPH WITHOUT ANY BRAKES. THAT IS WHAT IS SCARY - 16 SECONDS OF FIGHTING THE ENGINE WHEN IT COULD HAVE STAYED CUT OUT AND SLOWED DOWN IN LESS THAN 5 SECONDS FROM 2K RPM. THE AC IN THIS EXAMPLE MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE, BUT ISN'T 100% OF THE PROBLEM. *TR UPDATED IVOQ/ 09/10/09

MY 2007 NEW TRAILBLAZER STARTED ON FIRE WHILE IT WAS OFF AND PARKED FOR OVER 12 HOURS IN MAY OF 2008. AFTER 2 AND 1/2 MONTHS OF NOT HAVING MY TRUCK IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. GM ADMITTED IT WAS A FAULT OF THEIRS SEEING AS MY TRUCK WAS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD AND PURCHASED NEW. EVER SINCE THE CAR WAS RETURNED BACK TO ME THE INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF AND TODAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND A FIRE COULD HAVE STARTED AGAIN HAD I NOT BROUGHT THIS IN SOONER. SO FOR THE 2ND TIME I AM RISKING MY LIFE EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK! *TR
