2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME WHILE THE PARKING LIGHTS REMAINED ON. THE HIGH BEAMS WOULD WORK WHEN ACTIVATED. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES BOTH OF THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON FOR ANOTHER 15 OR SO MINUTES THEN FAILED AGAIN. AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT WHICH LIMITED VISIBILITY TO SEE AND BE SEEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE ENGAGED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 221,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A WEDDING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH, AND MY HEADLAMPS FAILED. EVERYTHING WENT COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A PANIC, I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR SAFETY, BLINDING ONCOMING DRIVERS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TESTED MY FOG LIGHTS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WORKED THEN. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 10-15 OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SAME OCCURRENCE. I WAS POSITIVE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL, BUT WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, SINCE THE ISSUE ON THE RECALL IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THAT I AM DEALING WITH. I HAVE HAD TO LIMIT MY USE OF THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR THAT THE HEADLAMPS WILL FAIL. SIDE NOTE - THEY HAVE FAILED AT NIGHT TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE. GENERALLY WHAT I HAVE TO DO IS PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (SCARY) AND TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT, AND TRY THEM AGAIN. *TR

I TURNED ON MY CAR AT DUSK AND MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WEREN'T ON, AND MY LOWBEAM HEADLAMPS WOULD NOT GO ON EITHER. BLINKERS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND EVERY OTHER TYPE OF LIGHT WORKED, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ON MY DRIVE HOME BECAUSE OF THE HEADLAMPS THAT WOULD NOT TURN ON. *TR

THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STARTER FAILING INTERMITTENTLY SOMETIME LAST YEAR. THREE MONTHS AGO IT STARTED NOT WORKING MOST OF THE TIME, AND NOW IT HAS FAILED WORKING AT ALL. I AM UNABLE TO SIGNAL A LEFT HAND TURN AT ALL. QUITE DANGEROUS IN A LARGE CITY WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME LATE AT NIGHT ON A DARK ROAD THE HEADLIGHTS JUST WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME USING THE HIGH BEAMS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND I HAD TO HOLD IT ON IN ORDER TO GET HOME. *TR

AFTER PICKING UP MY HUSBAND FROM WORK, WE STOPPED AT A STORE, WHERE I STAYED IN MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHILE HUBBY WENT IN, I HAPPENED TO LOOKOVER AT GAUGES AND NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE SLOWLY GOING DOWN. WHEN HUBBY CAME OUT OF STORE I HAD HIM CHECK TO SEE IF WE HAD A FUEL LEAK, AND NOTHING SEEMED TO BE LEAKING. WE LEFT STORE AND GAS GAUGE CONTINUED TO DECREASE UNTIL LIGHT CAME ON AND GAUGE READS EMPTY. THIS STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED ( 2 MONTHS AGO). DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SLOW TO ROLL DOWN AND UP. NOW THE TEMPERATURE IS STARTING TO GO PAST THE 200 MARK ON THERMOSTAT. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING A TANK OF GAS AND DRIVING FROM THE SERVICE STATION, MY DISPLAY REGISTERED EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED. I REVIEWED THE VEHICLE OWNER'S MANUAL AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I RETAINED THE LETTER REGARDING THIS "POSSIBLE" SITUATION THAT I RECEIVED IN 2012 OR 2013 (NOT DATED), AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I NORMALLY HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. SINCE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE MILEAGE (120,000), I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE 50/50 PAYMENT AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WOULD BE 922.83 TO REPAIR. I TELEPHONED GENERAL MOTORS REGARDING THE CONDITION AND ADVISED THAT I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR, SINCE THE CONDITION WAS ANTICIPATED AND NOT DUE TO NORMAL USAGE. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND CONTINUED SAFETY ISSUE, CHEVROLET SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. THIS REMAINS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS NOT ROUTINE OR ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE COST IS EXCESSIVE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT GM WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OR PAY ANY PORTION OF THE ASSOCIATED COST; AT THE LEAST, ALL PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED TO CORRECT THIS ANTICIPATED PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT GM WOULD NOT PAY ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPAIR. CONSUMERS ARE ASKED TO BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND MANUFACTURERS DO NOT MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE CONTINUED PURCHASES. *JS
