WE NOTICED THE DAYTIME RUNNER LIGHTS WOULD STOP WORKING/TURN OFF AND ONLY SOMETIMES TURN BACK ON. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING TO THE STORE AND WE HAD TO USE THE BRIGHTS THE REST OF THE WAY THERE AND WHOLE WAY BACK HOME.

DRIVING ALONG AT 30 MPH AND STEPPED ON GAS TO SPEED UP TO 45 MPH WHICH WAS THE NEW SPEED LIMIT, WHEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE I HAD NOTHING. IT WAS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE NO R/D/D3/D2/D1, NOT EVEN IN 4WD. THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE. I WAS COMING HOME FROM A 40 MILE TRIP, THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL. IT RAN FINE THE WHOLE TRIP AND THE NOTHING. THX

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS JUST WENT OUT ALMOST WENT OFF ROAD BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON A SLIGHT TURN TO THE RIGHT. LUCKILY IT WAS A MEDIAN DIVIDED ROAD AND I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP. THEY CAME BACK ON AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF SITTING WHILE LOOKING UNDER HOOD AND EVERYWHERE ELSE TRYING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING AND HEADLIGHTS JUST STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON FUSES AND BULBS ARE ALL GOOD CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HEADLIGHTS WON'T WORK

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS JUST GO COMPLETE OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM 15 MINUTES TO 45 MINUTES OF DRIVING. MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WILL WORK BUT NOT THE LOW BEAM. THEN SEVERAL HOURS AFTER I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THEY WORK AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL ON MULTIPLE YEARS FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS INCLUDING 2006 WHICH IS MY VEHICLE HOWEVER I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT!! I HAVE CALLED AND FILLED OUT A COMPLAINT FORM PREVIOUSLY WITH NO RESPONSE. CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO MY WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE? UPDATED 10/9/15 *LN UPDATED 01/05/16.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE OTHER OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE BOX SHORTED, OVERHEATED, CAUGHT FIRE, AND MELTED THE FUSES TO THE HEADLIGHTS.

I HAVE A 2006 TRAILBLAZER AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON AND SPRAY WIPER FLUID WHEN IT GETS READY WHILE THE SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. I USE TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE SWITCH ON AND BACK OFF AND THEY WOULD GO OFF BUT NOW THAT IS NOT WORKING AND THEY WILL STAY ON EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH IS OFF. NO WIPER FLUID IS SPRAYING OUT BUT IT WOULD IF IT WAS NOT EMPTY BECAUSE IT SPRAYS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS CAUSING MARKS ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM DRY WIPING AND I AM TIRED OF GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY WIPERS ON AND IT IS NOT RAINING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2002 MODEL BUT THIS IS HAPPENING ON LATER MODELS AND THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE SO CONSUMERS CAN GET THEIR TRUCK FIXED

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 T

HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ONLY BRIGHTS WORKED. REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WENT DOWN MYSTERIOUSLY AND WOULD NOT GO UP FOR 24 HRS. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) NOT WORKING.

THE OPTIONAL ADJUSTABLE FOOT PEDALS, THAT WERE NEVER USED, DEVELOPED A SHORTED CONDITION IN A ELECTRICAL RELAY AND TO THE UNDER THE SEAT CONTROL MODULE WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY WHILE PARKED, AND WHEN DISCOVERED RESULTED IN A $180.00 LOCAL SHOP DIAGNOSTIC AND DISCONNECT CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER AND ANOTHER $120.00 FOR A NEW BATTERY. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPONENTS WOULD BE APPROX. $600.00 NOT INCLUDING LABOR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER DARK MY LOW NEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS LOOKING FOR AN AIR CONDITIONER PART ONLINE AND STUMBLED ACROSS THE RECALL. RECALL NUMBER 14V755000. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. IT OS NOW JUNE OF 2015, THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO HAVEREMEDY. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET SOMETHING DONE WITH MY VEHICLE...A REFUND?? A TEMPORARY FIX?? ANYTHING AT ALL?

I HAVE CHILDREN AND I COMMUTE ON AN EXTREMELY BUSY FREEWAY. WHAT IF THIS FAILURE OCCURS WHILE I'M MOVING AT 70MPH PLUS? MY MECHANIC HAS REPLACED SOME PARTS IN HOPES IT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON/OFF FOR MONTHS BUT NOTHING OF A MAJOR CONCERN IS SHOWING UP ON THE COMPUTER. I UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE HAS 150K MILES BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT. WE PUT A NEW FUSE IN THAT HAS HELPED FOR A WHILE. NOW ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND OPENED THE DOORTHE RADIO WOULD NOT SHUT OFF SO I TURNED MY CAR ON AND BACK OFF IT WENT OFF THAT TIME. I TOOK MY DAUGHTER INTO DANCE WENT OUT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY CAR AND MY HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL ON. SO I TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF LOOKED STILL ON SO I WENT BACK TO WATCH MY DAUGHTERS DANCE. AFTER ANOTHER HOUR IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME WALKED OUTSIDE HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL ON. GOT HOME MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT IT AND TRIED TURNING THEM OFF NOTHING WOULD TURN THEM OFF. SO HE PULLED THE FUSES HE SAID THE RELAY WAS SO HOT HE COULDN'T EVEN TOUCH IT. SO I HAVE NO DIM LIGHTS UNLESS I CARRY FUSES WITH ME TO OUT IN AND TAKE OUT OR I JUST CAN'T DRIVE IT AT NIGHT.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT OUT OF STATE. I WAS TRAVELING DURING THE EVENING HOURS TO TRY TO AVOID HEAVY TRAFFIC. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DIM LIGHTS AND COULD ONLY PROCEED USING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS. THE NEXT THING I REALIZE IS THAT I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I THEN PROCEEDED TO SLIDE DOWN AN EMBANKMENT APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET. MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED ENORMOUS DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED BY MY INSURER.

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.

MY WIFE WEIGHS ABOUT 100 #'S YET THE AIR BAG LIGHT SHOWS OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WIPER PUMP (WATER) WENT OFF CONTINUOUSLY (ON THEIR OWN) AND WOULD NOT STOP. THE WATER SPRAYER KEPT SQUIRTING WATER AND THE WIPERS KEPT GOING NON STOP. NOTHING WE DID WOULD MAKE IT STOP. FINALLY HAD TO DISCONNECT THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE, JUST TO MAKE THE WIPERS AND WATER STREAMING STOP. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING-VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATING EMPTY AFTER A FILL UP ALTHOUGH ITS NOT... I HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I SPENT $900.00 (AT THE TIME) ON AN ACDELCO FUEL SENDING UNIT AND REPLACED THE PART... IT WORKED FOR SOMETIME, HOWEVER, HERE WE ARE TWO YEARS LATER AND ITS HAPPENING AGAIN...I DON'T HAVE $900.00 TO REPLACE THE PART AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY (LUCKILY IT WASN'T TO BUSY, BUT BUSY ENOUGH AT THE TIME OF 9:30AM IN THE MORNING ON A MONDAY) DOING ABOUT 55MPH, GIVE OR TAKE, AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT WOULD NOT START. LUCKILY FOR ME, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE COOPERATION OF A STATE TROOPER TO SIT WITH ME UNTIL SOMEONE COULD BRING ME GAS. SURE ENOUGH IT WAS A GAS ISSUE DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP ONCE I PUT A FEW GALLONS IN THE TRUCK.. *TR

IN 2014 MY WIFE RECEIVED 3 ERO'S FOR HEADLIGHT BEING OUT, EACH TIME I REPLACED THE BULB AND HAD THE ERO SIGNED OFF. IN THE FIRST OF THIS YEAR WE BECAME AWARE OF THE SAFETY RECALL THAT YOU HAD ISSUED FOR A HEADLIGHT MODULE PROBLEM. SOON THEREAFTER WE RECIEVED THE GM NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE RECALL. 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE ORIGINATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 5/19/15*CN

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

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AGO FROM A DEALER IN ST AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA. THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING, I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY HELP FROM THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE EVEN TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROBLEMS/ RECALLS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL, EVEN WHEN AT IDLE IT WILL SHUT OFF, WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING. *TR

AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE WITH 12 GALLONS OF GAS, (FILLING IT UP FROM HALF A TANK) THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE OUT OF FUEL / LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE IN TRAFFIC DRIVING IT HOME, BUT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AS TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THE TIME. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS EVERY 50K MILES "GIVE OR TAKE" AND THAT I NEED TO HAVE MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND FUEL PUMP REPLACED. IN LOOKING ONLINE, I FIND THAT THIS IS INDEED A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS RESULTED IN CRASHES AND OTHER SAFETY ISSUES AND HAS BEEN IGNORED BY GM AND THE NHTSA FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW DESPITE THE CONSTANTLY GROWING NUMBER OF CLAIMS. THE DEALER STATED IT WOULD COST "SOMEWHERE AROUND $900" TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I TOLD THEM WHAT I THOUGHT OF THAT, BOUGHT THE DELPHI REPLACEMENT UNIT MYSELF FOR $200 AND MADE THE REPAIRS ON MY OWN. HOWEVER GM IS GOING TO BE GETTING A BILL FOR THIS FROM MY LAWYERS. *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

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

THE BACK HATCH DOES NOT OPEN IN DURING THE WINTER. THE BUTTON ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BACK HATCH TO PUSH IN GETS STUCK AND THE HATCH WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS HAPPENS MANY OF TIMES DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO MY DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY CLAIM ITS NOTING WRONG. ONCE THE BUTTON STICKS ON THE BACK OF THE HATCH IT WILL NOT RELEASE THE HATCH TO OPEN. *TR

DOOR PAINT START TO BUBBLE THIS FIST WAS NOTICE AFTER I HIT THE 1,000 MILE MARKER. THE PAINT WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THEN 3 YEARS LATER THE PAINT BUBBLE AGAIN ON ALL MY DOORS AND THE BACK HATCH AND FRONT HOOD. IT WAS THEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. 3 YEARS WENT BY AND THE ISSUE IS BACK THE DEALER STATES THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY IT KEEP DOING THAT AND IS UNABLE TO FIX IT AGAIN. I FEEL THIS IS A PAINT ISSUE WITH GM. MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT AROUND THE DOORS. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A LARGE COST TO GET THIS REPAIRED AGAIN DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE PAINT THAT I BEEN DEALING WITH SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE TRUCK. *TR
