2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN OFF UNLESS THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON. AT TIMES, IT WILL START AUTOMATICALLY EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. SOMETIMES THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN ON OR OFF AT ALL. FUEL SYSTEM IS FAULTY. CONSISTENTLY PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO GO OUT REPEATEDLY, AND THE FUEL GAUGE TO STOP WORKING. MOTOR IN THE DRIVERS SEAT STOPPED WORKING AFTER MONTHS OF PROBLEMS. THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING. WE'VE REPLACED THE FUSE, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTER STATE AT 8;30 PM BOTH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED I MOVED THE LIGHT SWITCH FROM AUTO TO MANUAL WITH NO AFFECT. THE FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. HOWEVER USING THE HIGH ON THE INTERSTATE COULD AFFECT ON COMING DRIVERS SO WHERE THE HIGHWAY WAS LIGHTED I USED THE FOG LIGHT. GOT HOME OFF INTERSTATE USING HIGH BEAMS. NEXT MORNING THE DAYTIME LIGHTS AND LOW BEAMS WORKING HOWEVER SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING TO STORE THE LIGHTS AGAIN WERE NOT OPERATIVE STOPPED AT PEP BOYS AND ASKED THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD MAKE SURE BULBS WERE OKAY BUT NORMALLY BOTH BULBS DON'T FAIL AT THE SAME . LATER IN THE AFTERNOON TRIED LIGHTS AND BOTH DAYTIME AND LOW BEAMS WORKED. A FRIEND TOLD ME GM WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH 2006 AND 2007 TRAIL BLAZERS WITH THE LIGHT JUST SHUTTING OFF AND A MODULE WAS BELIEVED TO BE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS SUPPOSE TO RECALL THE VEHICLES YET THEY DID NOT WARN ANYONE ONE ABOUT THIS ISSUES HOWEVER PEOPLE WITH EARLIER TRAIL BLAZERS HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ALSO. EVEN IF GM IS TRYING TO DECIDE ON A RECALL FIX THEY AND THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE THAT THEY AT LEAST WARN THE VEHICLE OWNERS AND TELL HIM HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICES ABOUT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS AS A POINT OF REFERENCE MY LIGHTS FAILED ON AN OVER PASS DOWN RAMP AND CAUGHT ME TOTALLY BY SURPRISE THANK GOD IT WAS NOT A TWO LANE SECONDARY ROAD WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. ITS TIME TO FORCE GM TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. I AM TAKING CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO SEE HOW THEY DEAL WITH IT. I HAVE ALSO SEEN ON THE INTERNET YOU CAN GET A MODULE AT LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE I AM LOOKING INTO THIS TOMORROW SINCE I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND SOON IT WILL BE DARK AT 5 O"CLOCK AND I WILL BE CONSTANTLY DRIVING HOME IN DARK ON THE INTERSTATE.

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAD LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING WHEN I TURN THEM ON. I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH HIGH BEAM LIGHTS (THEY WORK FINE) AND I AM VERY ANNOYING TO OTHER DRIVERS. I HAD VEHICLE CHECKED OUT AND FUSES AND LIGHT BULBS APPEAR FINE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I NEED IT FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING 10 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE NEDDLE OF THE GAS WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN LIKE I DIDN'T HAVE GAS, AND THE CAR TURN OFF ITSELF. SO I PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN SO IT WORK AGAIN BUT THE NEEDLE TOOK 15 MINUTES TO GO UP ALL THE WAY TO FULL. AND I KNOW MY TANK WAS FULL BECAUSE I PUMP WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE. SO I KEEP DRIVING FOR 3 DAYS AND FILLED AGAIN MY TANK THE NIGHT BEFORE AND NEXT DAY I TURN ON THE CAR AGAIN THE NEDDLE WENT DOWN A QUARTER. THE MECANIC SAI WAS THE FUEL SENSOR PUMP GAS. AND I HEAR OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIR COST ME 730 DOLLARS .

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. THIS RELAY IS A SINGLE POINT FAILURE, WHICH AN UN-EXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD HAVE HAD A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT IF THE PERSON DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO QUICKLY IN A CALM MANNER.

STARTED THE TRAILBLAZER AND HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON.. TRIED AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL. WE TURN THE TRAILBLAZER OFF AND ON A COUPLE TIMES AND FINALLY GOT IT TO COME ON MAUNUAL. ONE WEEK LATER WAS COMING HOME ON A 4 LANE AND MY HEALIGHTS JUST WENT OFF. LUCKEY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF ROAD AND TURN FLASHERS ON. TURN TRAILBLAZER ON AND OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF BUT THEY DIDNT COME ON . TURN AUTOMATIC LIGHTS OFF AND TURN HIGH BEAMS ON THAT IS HOW I HAD TO DRIVE HOME. I TESTED MY LOWBEAMS ON AND OFF COMING HOME. THE WOULD GO IN AND OUT.

AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM I WAS TRAVELING ON A RURAL ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SUDDENLY MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE HEADLAMPS WERE ON LOW-BEAM AT THE TIME. I CHECKED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND IT WAS IN THE PROPER POSITION. I SWITCHED THE HEADLIGHTS TO HIGH-BEAM AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THAT A 'HEADLIGHT DRIVER MODULE' IS TO BLAME. THIS MODULE APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF FAILURE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN FLAW. SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS HEADLIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO SUCH A POOR QUALITY DEVICE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE NO DEVICES BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND THE LIGHTS.
