2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I HAD GONE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND ON THE WAY HOME MY POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING COOLER HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART ON MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM. IF THIS PART RUSTS OUT ON DIFFERENT YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION LINES GASOLINE LINES AND POWER STEERING LINES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE GASOLINE LINE AND FUEL PUMP ON THE 2003 , AND JUST REPLACED TRANSMISSION LINE ON THE 2007. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ENGINEERING CHANGE ON THESE VEHICLES. I ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE 2007 TRAILBLAZER FOR THE ELECTRIC WINDOW SWITCH. THE NOTICE SAID I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR NOTIFICATION. IT COST ME $350.00 TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING REPAIRED.. *TR

FUEL GAUGED DOES NOT REPORT CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK. ALSO CAUSES OTHER ERRORS TO BE REPORTED AS PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT REAL. *TR

THE WINDOWS ON MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER SS ARE CONSTANTLY (NEARLY DAILY) GETTING STUCK IN THE DOWN OR UP POSITION AND DO NOT RESPOND TO THE SWITCHES. THE VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE COMPUTER TO MAKE THE WINDOWS WORK AGAIN. I'VE BEEN CAUGHT PASSING THROUGH HEAVY RAINS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH WINDOWS THAT WON'T ROLL UP WITHOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAFELY PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF A DOZEN TIMES TO MAKE THE WINDOWS TEMPORARILY WORK AGAIN. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE DOOR LOCKS FROM COMPLETELY LOCKING LEAVING MY VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO THEFT.

I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE SATURDAY (1-19-2013) TO DRIVE INTO TOWN TO DO SOME ERRANDS. I TRIED TO PUT DOWN MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND THE SWITCH WOULD NOT WORK. I GOT INTO TOWN AND WENT TO THE STORE. UPON LEAVING THE STORE I TRIED MY WINDOW AGAIN AND IT WENT DOWN 1/4 OF THE WAY AND STOPPED. NOW IT IS STUCK 1/4 OF THE WAY DOWN. ON OCCASION I HAVE SMELLED SOMETHING THAT SMELLED LIKE WIRING GETTING HOT BUT COULD NEVER PINPOINT THE CAUSE. *TR

SOME OF THE ITEMS FORTHCOMING HAPPEN ALL TOGETHER AND/OR INTERMITTENTLY SEPARATE. THE INITIAL ISSUES NOTICEABLY STARTED UPON MY ARRIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED BEFORE MY RELOCATION, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I DID MYSELF. I CAME OUT TO MY CAR ON SATURDAY, 6/16/12. MY CAR WINDOW WAS DOWN AND SOME ITEMS WERE STOLEN. I DID NOT SEE ANY GLASS ON THE GROUND SO I THOUGHT I LEFT THE WINDOW DOWN MYSELF AND SOMEONE JUST STOLEN ITEMS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE COMPLEX SECURITY AND REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO HOA, I CAME OUT THE TRUCK AGAIN IT SMELLED OF WIRES BURNING AND THE WINDOW WAS DOWN AGAIN. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO GET THE WHEELS BALANCED AND OIL CHANGE AT FIRESTONE. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT, NOR DID THE ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT GO OUT. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT THE SMELL OF WIRES BURNING HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE REMAINED ON FOR OVER 2 WEEKS, THEN WENT OFF. IN THE LATE FALL THERE WAS A REALLY BAD THUNDERSTORM AND WHEN ARRIVED TO TRUCK AFTER WORK; RUNNING IN RAIN, I SAW THAT MY WINDOW WAS DOWN AND I COULD NOT GET THE WINDOW BACK UP FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I WAS SOAKED AND SO WAS THE CAR. THE TRUCK RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE RECENTLY AND ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OUT AND THE WALMART MECHANIC WHO DID THE OIL CHANGE STATED THAT HE SMELLED GAS AND SOME WIRES BURNING, LIGHTS ON PANEL WOULD NOT GO OUT. SMELL OF WIRES BURNING. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS-THEN GOES OFF BY ITSELF. ALL LIGHTS EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON PANEL INTERMITTENTLY ON (OIL/TRACTION/TIRE PRESSURE). FUEL GAUGE SHOWS/CLICKS AS FULL, SMELLS LIKE GAS IN TRUCK AND RUNS OUT OF FUEL WITH GAUGE SHOWING FULL. DRIVER'S WINDOW GOES DOWN WHEN KEYS ARE NOT IN TRUCK. HEATING KNOB ON OFF, STILL BLOWING HOT OR COLD AIR AND GAUGE DOES NOT TURN ON PAST 2. LIGHTS DIM WHEN USING POWER BUTTON FOR WINDOWS. *TR

IT WAS BOUGHT IN 2011, AND EVER SINCE ME AND MY WIFE ARE SO SICK IN TIRED OF BUYING AND BUYING AND BUYING THESE VALVE STEMS THAT ARE JUNK AND IT LOOKS LIKE 15 DOLLARS TO BUY BUT ITS 60$ TO PUT IN..THIS IS GARBAGE COMPLETELY USELESS.. YOU FILL THE TIRE UP AND YOU CAN HEAR THE AIR COME OUT OF IT ITS LIKE A EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS I'VE HAD TO BUY ONE NOW I THINK ITS TIME TO SAY SOMETHING THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO PUT REGULAR OLD FASHIONED VALVE STEMS AND TAKE THEM TPMS OUT OF THE CARS/TRUCKS SOME PEOPLE CANT AFFORD THESE THINGS EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS IN MAY 2009. I INITIALLY NOTICED THAT THE WINDOWS MOVED SLOWLY AND WOULD MOAN WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS DIMMING SIMULTANEOUSLY. I TOOK IT IN ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO ACCREDITED CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND IT MIGHT BE YOUR BATTERY. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OCCASIONALLY WOULD NOT RESPOND AND 10-20 MINUTES LATER WOULD BE ACTIVE AGAIN. FINALLY THIS YEAR OCTOBER 2012 ALL FUNCTIONALITY WAS LOST FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. MY DRIVER DOOR MODULE BURNT OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH NO OPERATING DDM WHICH IN RETURN AFFECTS LOCKS, LIGHTING, WINDOWS, MIRRORS ETC. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT AND I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW DDM AT $500 AND HAVE IT BURN OUT AGAIN OR CAUSE A FIRE IN SOME CASES. *TR

CAME OUT OF WORK 11:30 PM TO FIND THE DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW DOWN ON A RAINY NIGHT. AS I GOT CLOSE I COULD SMELL THE ELEC./PLASTIC FIRE SMOKE SMELL. MY SEAT AND FLOOR WERE SOAKED FROM THE RAIN. I COULD NOT PUT THE WINDOW UP AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME WET. I HAD THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT CHECK IT OUT AND WAS TOLD THE DOOR MODULE HAD MELTED FROM FIRE FROM A SHOT AND WAS LUCKY THE CAR DID NOT BURN. I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET ASSISTANCE CENTER ABOUT 5 TIMES AND WAS TOLD I HAVE TO WAIT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. *TR
