2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND PULLED SOME OF THE FUSES AND PUT THEM BACK IN. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON LATER. WE CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD TO OUR DESTINATION AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO GET A HOTEL ROOM FOR THE NIGHT UNTIL WE COULD DRIVE HOME DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

FUEL GAUGE READ FULL TANK WHEN IN FACT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. I RAN OUT OF GAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED MY ON DASH COMPUTER WENT CRAZY LIGHTING UP THEN TURNING OFF, WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE CAR AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES THE COMPUTER SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF. FILLING THE TANK THE GAUGE READ EMPTY AND REMAINED THAT WAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE GAUGE OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AFTER FAILURE. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE SCHEDULED THE GAUGE REPAIR WITH MY DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT CHECKED , FOUND BROKEN BOLT ON RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH V 8 ENGINES.

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.

A VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME AND I REAR ENDED THEM. I WAS GOING AROUND 44-55 MPH. AFTER I HIT THE OTHER CAR FROM BEHIND I CROSSED 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND WENT THRU A PRETTY DEEP DITCH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION., SEVERAL HEAD LACERATIONS AND A FRACTURED LUMBAR SPINE.

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 WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DARK. AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, MY HEADLIGHTS JUST COMPLETELY WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER CAREFULLY PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I REALIZED MY HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL WORKING. I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND REALIZED IT WAS A RELAY 45 AND 46 ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THIS RELAY AND MY LIGHTS WORKED. FOR A DAY. NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, AND I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK. I'VE ASKED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL BUT YET THEY DON'T HAVE A RESOLUTION. BEING I WORK UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN, AND I HAVE AN HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM WORK 5-6 DAYS A WEEK, THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. IF THIS WERE A SIMPLE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL (WHICH I'VE ALREADY HAD REPLACED) I WOULD BE OK WITH IT FOR NOW. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A LIGHTING ISSUE WHICH CAN BE AND IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED IMMIDIATLY AND IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD BE EXPECTED TO. *TR

EVERY COUPLE MONTHS THE ALTERNATOR GOES OUT I AM ALMOST TO THE LIMIT ON MY WARRANTY RETURNS.THE FIRST TIME IT WENT OUT IT WASN'T CHARGING THEN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT IT WENT OUT WAS OVER CHARGING AND IN DOING SO DAMAGED MY BATTERY SO I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE IT ALSO. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND IS BECOMING A MONEY PIT. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP PULLED OVER AND HAD TRANS FLUID EVERYWHERE. REPLACED THE LINES AND NOW NOT EVEN 3 YEARS LATER THEY ARE ROTTEN AGAIN AND WILL NEED REPLACED SOON. I AM LUCKY THE FIRST TIME THEY BROKE I DIDN'T DAMAGE MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SEEN WHERE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE AND ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.IT COAST ME AROUND $150 FOR THE LINES AND THE FLUID AND FILTER TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. I CANT AFFORD $150 EVERY COUPLE YRS. *TR
