2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE AND NOTICED THAT MY LIGHTS DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ON. I GOT OUT OF MY CAR TO VERIFY THAT THEY WERE NOT ON AND REALIZED THAT INDEED THEY HAD NOT COME ON. TRIED TURNING ON MY LIGHT TO AUTO AND THEY STILL DID NOT COME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

VEHICLE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS AND LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FAILED AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP BUT WAS CLOSING TIME. DEALER DOCUMENTED FAILURE BUT DID NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED OF FAILURE (UP TO EXECUTIVE LEVEL) BUT REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VIN IN THE EXISTING RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR HEADLAMP FAILURES. HUSBAND, WHO IS A MECHANIC, SWITCHED HDM MODULE WITH FAN MODULE, AND HEADLAMPS CAME BACK ON. THIS POINTS TO SAME TYPE OF FAILURE INCLUDED IN EXISTING CAMPAIGN. PLEASE GET THESE VIN'S INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MILEAGE WAS 88,122 FOR THIS FAILURE. PREVIOUS FAILURE ALSO REPORTED. IMPOSSIBLE TO GET DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THIS WHEN DRIVER HAS MOSTLY NOTICED LOW BEAM HEADLAMP FAILURE AT NIGHT--WHEN DEALERS ARE CLOSED. WHAT IS THE DRIVER SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN GM REFUSES TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH REPLACING THE PART--SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY INSIST THAT A DEALER FIRMLY DIAGNOSE IT. THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT IF THEY'RE NOT OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!! SEE CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V755000. NOTE THAT HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS WORK JUST FINE--JUST AS THE VEHICLES THAT **ARE**INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!!!

AFTER LEAVING A MOVIE THEATRE AND UPON ENTERING THE FREEWAY JUNE 13, 2015 AT 12:30AM, IT APPEARED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE, (WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON) TO THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT TO PULL OVER AND FOUND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND WOULD NOT COME ON. I TURNED LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF, TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF AND TRIED LIGHT SWITCHES AGAIN - THIS DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. THE HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL WORKING. AFTER LEAVING THE HIGH BEAMS ON FOR A WHILE AND TRYING THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN, THEY CAME BACK ON. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER, ON AUGUST 8, 2015 WHILE DRIVING TO THE STORE, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AGAIN. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TRIED THE SWITCH, TRIED TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF, AGAIN THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AFTER DRIVING WITH THE HIGH BEAMS FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I TRIED THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN AND THEY CAME ON. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES IN THE SAME WEEK ON AUGUST 11TH AND 12TH, 2015 WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO FUNCTION DUE TO THE HEAD LAMP DRIVER MODULE OVERHEATING. ALSO, THE FUSE BOX MELTED AND THERE WERE NO FLAMES VISIBLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT NIGHT, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE VEHICLE VIBRATES HEAVILY WHILE IN IDLE. THE CAR WILL BE IN THE DRIVE POSITION AT A STOP. THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO STALL OUT. WHICH PRESENTS A HUGE HAZARD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE MOUNTS,SPARK PLUGS, COILS, BOOTS, INTAKE FLUSH AND PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE READ THAT NUMEROUS TRAILBLAZERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION! MY BIGGEST FEAR IS FOR A CAR TO STALL AND AN INJURY TO OCCUR A A DIRECT RESULT.

HEADLAMPS FAILED WHILE DRIVING. DRIVER SWITCHED FROM HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO LOW BEAMS. NEARLY CRASHED WHEN LOW BEAM LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK. ALL OTHER LAMPS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AFTER STOPPING, DRIVER TRIED TO SWITCH THE LIGHTS ON AND STILL FAILED. ONLY HIGH BEAM LAMPS FUNCTIONING. VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. I HAVE BEEN REGISTERED OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE FOR PAST 5 YEARS AND WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL BY GM.

SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER ALMOST HIT MAILBOXES SO SWERVED TO AVOID THEM. I SWERVED TO MUCH THAN IN MY CORRECTION HIT THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I THAN HIT A TREE BETWEEN 45 - 50 MPH. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT TRIM FELL OFF VEHICLE WILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT FAST RATE OF SPEED. VEHICLES BEHIND HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS FLYING PARTS. HAVE SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. UPDATED 9/15/15 *LN.... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN
