THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS RESET WHEN YOU USE THE REMOTE THE UNLOCK THE CAR. THEY ARE PRESET FOR DRIVER 1 & 2 AND WHICH EVER REMOTE UNLOCKS THE CAR THE MIRRORS WILL RE-ALIGN THEMSELVES SOMETIMES MOVING AROUND FOR 60 SECONDS OR MORE. AFTER ALL THE MOVEMENT THEY ARE NOT ALIGNED FOR DRIVER 1 OR 2. IT'S A PAIN TO HAVE TO REALIGN BOTH MIRRORS EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. I HAVE POSITIONED THE MIRRORS WHERE I WANT THEM, PUSH THE BUTTON TO SET THEM, WAIT FOR TWO BEEPS, AND NEXT TIME I START THE CAR, THEY ARE RANDOMLY MOVING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE MIRRORS SEEM TO BE OK FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN START WITH THE RANDOM REPOSITIONING AGAIN. I AM AFRAID THE MOTORS IN THE MIRRORS WILL BURN OUT. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEATED SEAT SHORTED OUT, CAUSING CHARRING ON THE INSIDE FOAM OF THE SEAT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

MY MASTER WINDOW SWITCH CAUGHT FIRE ON 9/27/14. I WOKE UP THAT MORNING TO FIND THAT MY WINDOW DID NOT WORK WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THERE WAS A SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING ON MY SIDE OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DOOR PANEL. I TOOK OUT THE SWITCH AND IT WAS BURNED. IT ALSO BURNED SOME OF THE MATERIAL INSIDE OF THE DOOR. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN RANDOMLY WITH THE SMOKE COMING OUT OF IT. I TOOK IT MY FATHERS HOUSE WHERE HE DISCONNECTED THE MODULE. THE WINDOW WAS HALF DOWN. IT WAS 45 DEGREES THAT MORNING . I PAID SOMEONE TO PUT THE WINDOW BACK UP WITH A PRICE OF $150 DUE TO EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER AND HAVING A 2 YEAR OLD. I WENT TO CREW CHEVEROLET TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED WHEN THEY SAID THAT ALL 2005-2007 MASTER DOOR SWITCH WAS ON RECALL DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT MAY CAUSE THE SWITCH TO CATCH FIRE. WHEN THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 AND IM NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THEN I BELIEVE I SHOULD GET A NEW PART DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $405 FOR THE PART AND PROGRAMMING BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT MY MOTOR FOR MY WINDOW WAS NOT DAMAGED AS WELL. I CONTACTED GM MYSELF AND THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON 2005-2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN MY STATE JUST NOT MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2007. MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

I WAS COMING HOME AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHT DIDN'T COME ON. TRIED TO MANUALLY TURN THEM ON AND NOTHING. THE RUNNING LIGHT CAME ON JUST FINE JUST THE HEADLIGHT WOULDN'T. CHANGED THE LIGHT BULB AND CHECKED THE FUSES AND NO LUCK. FOUND OUT THERE IS A HEADLIGHT DRIVER MODULE THAT WENT BAD. THAT IS DANGEROUS IF YOU CANT TURN THEM ON MANUALLY IF THE AUTO DON'T WORK. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WAS LOOKED AT ABOUT 1 MONTH BEFORE JUNE OF 2007 AT 4500 MILES AND AGAIN AT JUNE 22ND AND THEN IT WAS REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED THROUGHT OUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE I JUST MADE SURE IT HAD GAS IN IT. IT CAME ON AGAIN ABOUT SEPT 20TH OF 2014 AND STAYED ON FOR FIVE DAYS. ALL THIS TIME PASSED BECAUSE I DIDNT HAVE THE TIME TO MESS WITH IT. I DECIDED I HAD HAD ENOUGH AND TOOK IT TO GM IN OLATHE KANSAS WHERE THEY IN STALLED A NEW SENDING UNIT IT IS A NEW AND BETTER ONE THE CHARGED ME 108.88 AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE WHOLE PRICE. *TR

VEHICLE DIC SHOWS "TIGHTEN FUEL CAP" MESSAGE. MESSAGE APPEARS EVEN IF FUEL CAP IS TIGHTENED. MESSAGE STILL ILLUMINATES AFTER REPLACING CAP. FUEL IN TANK CAN BE AT ANY LEVEL AND LIGHT STILL ILLUMINATES. *TR

HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK BUT HIGH BEAMS DO. DRIVERSIDE DOOR CONTROL DOES NOT WORK EITHER. *TR

IN JANUARY 2014, I STARTED MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER WHEN I GOT OFF WORK AND THE WASHER FLUID AND WIPERS STARTED OPERATING ON THEIR OWN, AND THEN THEY STOPPED. THIS CONTINUED OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. MY WIPERS AND WASHER OPERATING WHEN EVER THEY WANTED TO WHEN THE SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF. ONE EVENING MY HUSBAND WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND THE WASHERS WOULD NOT STOP AND FINALLY RAN DRY. MY HUSBAND PULLED THE FUSE UNDER THE HOOD TO DEACTIVATE THE WASHERS AND THE ONE UNDER THE BACK SEAT TO DEACTIVATE THE WIPERS. I DRIVE MY TRAILBLAZER LIKE THIS. WHEN IT RAINS, I PUT THE FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE BACK SEAT AND WHEN IT STOPS RAINING I TAKE THE FUSE BACK OUT BECAUSE MY WIPERS NOW WILL NOT STOP AT ALL. WE HAVE REPLACED THE SWITCH ON THE COLUMN HOPING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAD A 2002 CHEVY S-10 THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR
