I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT.... SO IT GOES, I WAS PREPARING FOR MY LONG ROAD TRIP TO YOSEMITE, AND HAD JUST FUELED UP. ONCE I TURNED ON THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE MOVING RANDOMLY, BACK AND FORTH. IT THEN STAYED ON EMPTY. WELL I CALLED OUR MECHANIC SINCE WE WERE LEAVING ON A ROAD TRIP AND HE RECOMMENDED I FILL UP AT EVERY 200 MILES TO BE SAFE. AFTER I WAS TOLD OF THE EXPENSE TO FIX IT, I CONTINUE TO PROLONG THE REPAIR AND DECIDED TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH INTO THIS SITUATION. I AM BAFFLED BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL BY GM. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND JUST TAKE IT DIRECTLY TO THEIR MECHANIC TO FIX. SHOULD EVERYONE BE REPORTING THE INCIDENT WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN THIS TO TURN INTO A RECALL. WELL IN HOPES THAT MY COMPLAINT HELPS...HERE IT GOES. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IT SUCKS NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU REALLY HAVE. *TR

I WAS AT WORK AND I CAN BACK TO GET SOMETHING FROM MY TRUCK AND THE DRIVER DOOR WAS ON FIRE. *TR

WITH REGARD TO THE BELOW SERVICE BULLETIN, I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. AT APPROXIMATELY 106,000 MILES, MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WINDSHIELD SPRAY MECHANISM ACTIVATED WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED. THE SPRAY RESERVOIR PUMPED WASHER FLUID, AT AN ALARMING RATE, ALL OVER THE WINDSHIELD WHILE I WAS ON A MAJOR FREEWAY. I HAD A VERY HARD TIME MOVING TO THE SAFE LANE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. EVEN THOUGH THE WIPERS WERE ON HIGH SPEED, THIS WAS NOT FAST ENOUGH TO REMOVE THE WASHER FLUID SO I COULD SEE. THE WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF UNLESS I REMOVE THE FUSE. THEREFORE, WHEN IT IS RAINING AND I'M DRIVING, I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND INSERT THE FUSE INTO THE FUSE BOX TO GET WIPER ACTION. I COMPLETELY DISENGAGED THE WASHER FLUID RESERVOIR BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET IT TO TURN OFF ANY OTHER WAY. GM, OF COURSE, FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. MAK HAIK CHEVROLET NOTED THAT THE WIPER MOTOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING IN DEC. 2013.

I STOPPED TO FILL MY CAR WITH GAS AS I WAS ON A LITTLE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK. THE FUEL LIGHT HAD NOT COME ON, NOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER FILLING THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY WITH FUEL, I GOT IN THE CAR AND THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE NEEDLE WOULDN'T LEAVE EMPTY. IT STAYED THIS WAY FOR ABOUT A MILE TILL I GOT HOME. I SHUT MY CAR OFF IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES THINKING THAT IT MUST PLAY "CATCH UP," BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WENT TO FULL IMMEDIATELY, BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL, AND GOES ON AND OFF, WHICH I SUSPECT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL SITES, WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. I AM NOW HAVING TO SET MY TRIP METER SO THAT I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS TILL I GET IT FIXED. HOPING SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH DEALERSHIP MANAGEMENT NOT GETTING KEY LOCK IGNITION FIXED. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, SHE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY LOCK IN THE IGNITION. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT CRANK, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN, THE RADIO DID NOT WORK AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD SHUT DOWN. SHE HAD AN ACCIDENT ON JAN 13, 2012 AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ON JUNE 21, 2014, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND SHE HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE, FOR FIVE DAYS, BEFORE SHE COULD HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. *JB

AFTER PUTTING FUEL IN MY TANK, I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY FUEL GAUGE WAS BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. THIS WENT ON FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AS I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS. THEN THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND STAYED THERE AS WELL AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON. THE NEXT DAY THE GAUGE STAYED AT EMPTY AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I STOPPED BY MY MECHANIC TO HAVE THEM CHECK AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE. THEY CHECK THE CODE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR AND RIGHT AFTER THEY CHECKED THE CODE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO FULL. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND LET THEM KNOW IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT. I CLOSELY WATCHED THE FUEL GAUGE AND NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT MOVING EVEN AFTER DRIVING OVER 100 MILES IT WAS STILL SHOWING FULL. AT THIS TIME I STARTED LOGGING THE MILEAGE EACH WEEK I FILLED MY TANK AS I WAS CONCERNED THAT I WOULD RUN OUT OF FUEL BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY. THIS CONTINUED EVERY WEEK FOR MONTHS. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED DOING THIS MORE OFTEN DURING THE WEEK. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND HAD THE FUEL SENSOR REPLACED. SINCE THEN WITH ALL THE RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING I DECIDED TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS THAT WERE GOING ON AND NOTICED THE COMPLAINTS ON THE FUE

HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR ALL THE TIME! *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. WE PULLED OVER AS IT WAS NIGHTTIME AND TURNED ON THE HIGH BEAMS. A FEW MINUTES LATER WE WERE ABLE TO USE THE LOW BEAMS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY SINCE THEN. JUST ONCE IN AWHILE UNTIL RECENTLY. JUST LAST NIGHT, JULY 09, 2014; THEY TURNED OFF AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES GOING TO AND FROM CHURCH WHICH IS ABOUT 7 MILES FROM MY HOME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY THING TO HAPPEN. WE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AWHILE BACK AND THEY SAID UNLESS IT WAS HAPPENING RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. I LOVE MY VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES (LIGHTS, WIPERS, STEREO, ETC.). PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, SHE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING INSIDE THE VEHICLE FROM THE VENTS. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO POWER OFF. EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE POWERED OFF BUT RESTARTED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE REVVED FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES AND SHUT OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FUSE BOX CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT DISTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE RADIO REMAINED OPERABLE EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED ORE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,886 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL MODULE MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED THE KEY WILL NOT TURN OFF THE RUN POSITION, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE NOT TURNING OFF COMPLETELY AND THE KEY CAN NOT BE RELEASED. IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR AWHILE THE KEY WILL THEN BE ALLOWED TO TURN OFF AND RELEASE. POSSIBLE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH?? *TR

ON MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT MY GAS GAUGE SHOWS I HAVE AN EMPTY TANK OF GAS AT ALL TIMES EVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS FOUR TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO RESTART. IN BOTH OF THIS INSTANCES I HAD TO WALK ON THE HIGHWAY AND OFF AN EXIT TO FILL UP A GAS TANK AND THEN WALK BACK, ONE TIME BEING AT 02:00 AM. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING I COULD BE HIT BY A CAR ON THE HIGHWAY OR STALL WHERE A BREAKDOWN LANE IS UNAVAILABLE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE TANK WILL NEVER READ ANYTHING ELSE THEN EMPTY WITH THE GAS LIGHT ON AS WELL. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED WITHOUT BEING ENGAGED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

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 WILL CONTACT THE 800 NUMBER AND SEE WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE IN GETTING MY PANEL REPLACED. *TR

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. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT CAN ARISE WITH THE LACK OF A HORN TO GET SOMEONE ELSE'S ATTENTION IF NEED BE. *TR

THE SUMMER OF 2013 I HAD IT BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD FAIL TO LIGHT UP AS THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I TRIED CHANGING THE BULB BUT THAT PROVED TO NOT BE THE PROBLEM AS IT STILL FAILED TO LIGHT UP. THE FOLLOWING SUMMER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT. I AM UNSURE IF IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR A SENSOR THAT HAS GONE BAD. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION, THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS FAILED TO TURN OFF CAUSING IT TO OVER HEAT AND CATCH ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE RELAY SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 101,000.

MY WIFE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK. SHE STARTED HER CAR AND BACKED UP, WENT TO SHIFT TO DRIVE AND SOMETHING BROKE STRANDING HE IN A EMPTY PARKING LOT ON A SATURDAY. SHE WAS IN A TRAFFIC LANE AND BLOCKING THE HANDICAP PARKING SPACE. I HAVE OWNED CARS FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER HAD SUCH A THING HAPPEN. WHY DID YOU MAKE AN ALL STEEL CABLE AND MOUNTINGS AND THEN PUT A TINY PLASTIC END ON IT THAT BRAKES ALL THE TIME. THE PARTS HOUSE AND THE SERVICE SHOPS ALL SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND YOU MUST BUY A REPLACEMENT FROM THE DEALER. THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM AS THEY MUST STOCK THE CABLE ASSEMBLIES THAT COST A LOT TO CHANGE. PLEASE REDESIGN THEM AND CHANGE THE PLASTIC END TO A STAINLESS STEEL END AND RETROFIT ALL CARS, SUV'S AND TRUCKS THAT USE THIS PART. *TR

I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING FOR THE SECOND TIME A POWER STEERING HOSE ISSUE AND AFTER RESEARCHING, I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS WITH THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED. WILL MY VEHICLE BE ABLE TO BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL TOO? *TR

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. THE NEXT DAY I WAS ADVISED BY KNUDTSEN THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM. I WROTE A FOLLOW-UP LETTER TO THE OWNER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER INDICATING THAT SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED NEITHER GM NOR KNUDTSEN COULD HELP ME WITH THE $268 CHARGE FOR REPLACING THE SWITCH. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TOLD GM AND KNUDTSEN WOULD SPLIT THE COST THREE WAYS SINCE I WAS A LONG-TIME CUSTOMER (THREE BLAZERS). I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED ANY REIMBURSEMENT AS OF THIS DATE. IS THIS POSSIBLY ANOTHER CAR WHICH SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST? *TR

WIPER ENGAGES WITH WASHER FLUID SPRAYING AT ANY TIME . WHEN FIRST START WIPERS COME ON WITH FLUID SPRAYING NO INTERMITENT SETTINGS WIPER STOPS AND STARTS AT ALL TIMES. FUEL GAUGE STOP WORKING WITH FULL TANK. NOW IT DOES NOT WORK. DOOR LOCK ON DRIVER SIDE NOT FUNCTIONING. LOCKS WOULD START WHEN VEHICLE SITTING IN DRIVEWAY NOT RUNNING. REMOVED FUSE, AS IT CAUSED BATTERY FAILURE. *JS

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH CHANGED 3X IN A YEAR DUE TO IT FAILING. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT, WILL NOT START, AND MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS ALSO START ACTING UP RIGHT BEFORE THE IGNITION SWITCH STARTS ACTING UP. IF I WIGGLE THE KEY, SOMETIMES THAT WILL GET IT TO START, SOMETIMES NOT. I HAVE SEEN TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER TRAILBLAZERS IN THE SAME YEAR WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO FORUMS TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR TRAILBLAZERS. 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. I SAW ON THE TV LASTNIGHT THE SPECIAL ABOUT GM AND THE IGNITION SWITCHES, AND THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING MY TRAILBLAZER DOES. PLEASE, I HOPE SOMEONE WILL LOOK INTO THIS. I'M SURE THAT IF YOU PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE ABOUT THE "06 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS YOU WOULD GET NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE. THANK YOU. *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND LOW POWER LIGHTS CAME ON. I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND MY RPM'S DROPPED TO NOTHING. CODES THAT CAME UP WERE FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. I READ A COMPLAINT THAT STATES GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WHY HAVEN'T THEY DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? *JS

THE LOW BEAM RELAY SWITCH WENT OUT WHICH MADE MY HEADLIGHTS TOTALLY GO OUT. NO ONE COULD SEE ME AND I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,500.

WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF. ALL WASHER FLUID IS DISPENSED AND THE WIPERS WILL KEEP GOING. *TR

SINCE GETTING MY CAR ABOUT 4 MOS AGO, THE STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT & INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, AND IT PUT THE BRAKE ON BY ITS SELF, THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS, IT SCARED ME BECAUSE I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE ALMOST STOPPED ME, IT HAS DONE THIS 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK SINCE, I TALKED TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPT., AND THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AS LONG AS I WAS CAREFUL, UNTIL I COULD GET IT CHECKED OUT, I DIDN'T HAVE $80 AN HR., TO DO THAT. ON 04/28/14, ABOUT 10PM WHILE DRIVING ON WET ROAD, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, GOING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE, IT PUT THE BRAKE ON BY ITS SELF, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO GO INTO A SKID, IT WENT OFF THE ROAD AND ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES, ITS A TOTAL LOSS, THANK GOD NO ONE GOT HURT. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF EQUIPMENT ON VEHICLES THAT DOES THIS KIND OF THING. I HOPE THEY WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *JS

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH WITH AN NEWLY DESIGNED IGNITION SWITCH AND THE FAILURE WAS PERMANENTLY CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,400.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS WILL CONTINUE TO WORK. VERY SCARY AT NIGHT, I ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THEY DO COME BACK ON AFTER A COOL DOWN PERIOD. REPLACED THE RELAY, BUT CONTINUES TO JUST TURN OFF AT TIMES. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

EVERY TIME THAT I STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND START TO GO, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO, THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT COMES ON AND MESSAGE SAYS OIL PRESSURE LOW AND IT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACT UP AND DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOW, SOMETIMES CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF OR GO INTO SHUT DOWN MODE. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THIS AND SEEN THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS. I SPOKE WITH A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TRAILBLAZER AND SAID ITS EITHER FAULTY WIRING OR OIL SENDING UNIT. 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. WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR GM. I HOPE THIS ISSUE IS THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED AND SOMETHING IS DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANKS *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN FILLED UP. THEN THE FUEL INDICATOR WILL GO FROM EMPTY TO FULL TO ANYWHERE BETWEEN. *TR

THE WIPERS STARTED ACTING UNPREDICTABLE, WITH THE WASHER FLUID SPRAYING ALL OVER. YOU COULD NOT CONTROL WHEN THE WIPERS WOULD TURN ON OR OFF, THE SPEED THEY WOULD GO, AND THE WASHER FLUID WOULD SPRAY AT RANDOM TIMES. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR THE TRAILBLAZER FOR THE 02-03 MODELS -HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE RESOLVED IN ANY SATISFACTORY WAY. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WOULD SATISFY THAT INQUIRY. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THERE HAS BEEN A SERVICE ADVISORY ISSUED (SERVICE BULLETIN). I HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE WIPER MOTOR MODULE ASSEMBLY REPLACED FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AS THE EARLIER RECALLED WIPER ASSEMBLY. CHEV/GM SEEMS TO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM GIVEN THE HISTORY. THEY ARE AT LEAST MAKING MONEY FROM ME. THIS IS CLEARLY A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HAS BEEN RECALLED PREVIOUSLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE HEATING SYSTEM FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HOWEVER, THE HEADLIGHT AND HEATING SYSTEM CONTINUED TO FAIL INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

TRANSMISSION / SUN SHIELD FAILURE: LEAVING WORK, I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ONTO A MAJOR ROAD. I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH AND HEARD A TREMENDOUS LOUD NOISE UNDERNEATH MY CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE ON IT'S OWN. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT I RAN OVER SOMETHING MADE OF STEEL THAT WAS IN THE ROADWAY, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS RUNNING, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I CALLED A MECHANIC FRIEND WHO ADVISED ME THAT 2 OF THE 4 GEARS ARE WORKING. IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THAT THERE IS A SUN SHIELD / SUN SHELL PROBLEM WITH THESE TRAILBLAZERS (AND ENVOYS, ETC) AND I REALLY THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, I AM AFRAID OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME. *TR

CHEVY NEEDS TO GET THIS FIX... *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

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ACCELERATION & POWER. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THIS POINT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT A VERY LOW SPEED THE REMAINING QUARTER OF A MILE INTO MY WORK PLACE PARKING LOT. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND CAME TO A STOP MY CAR ACCELERATED AND ALMOST HIT A WALL. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IS A THROTTLE BODY ERROR, AND THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. AND, I SEE ALL KINDS OF COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

WITHIN A WEEK'S SEVERAL ITEMS IN MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED - INCLUDING THE O2 SENSOR & MY OIL SENDING SENSOR... LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS SIGHT, I SEE IT IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. VERY FRUSTRATING THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE GM FIX THESE PROBLEMS! *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. 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
