DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND LOCK CONTROL PANEL DOES NOT WORK. CONTROL PANEL FOR SIDE MIRRORS DOES WORK. I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE OR ROLL UP/DOWN ANY WINDOWS IN MY VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE .. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND LOCK CONTROL PANEL WORKS, REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW CONTROL PANEL WORKS, AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW CONTROL PANEL WORKS. I HAVE HAD THE FUSES CHECKED AND THEY ARE ALL FINE. I HAVE A CHILD AND "LIKED" TO KEEP MY BACK WINDOWS LOCKED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD, NOW THAT MY CONTROL PANEL DOES NOT WORK I CANNOT LOCK MY WINDOWS WHEN NEEDED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD. I DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE LOCKS OR WINDOWS FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR. MY KEYLESS ENTRY WILL UNLOCK ALL PASSENGER DOORS AND REAR HATCH, BUT I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR WHEN EXITING MY VEHICLE AND USE MY KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR TO GET INTO MY VEHICLE. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CHEVY. NOT JUST THE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM, HOW ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS HAVING CONTROL OVER THEIR WINDOWS AND LOCKS????? WHEN THE DRIVER SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER WINDOW, LOCKS ECT.......PER LAW THE DRIVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYONE IN ANY VEHICLE....HOW CAN THE DRIVER OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS ONGOING PROBLEM BE IN CONTROL OF THE LOCKS AND WINDOWS IF THEY DO NOT WORK???? THIS COULD CAUSE MINOR TO FATAL INJURIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN INCLUDING ADULTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON GM! *TR UPDATED 05/29/13*LJ UPDATED 05/31/2013 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WHEN SHE SMELLED A BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 12V406000 (VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS) BUT SHE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE REMEDY IS FINALIZED TO HAVE REPAIRS COMPLETED.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW LOWERED BY IT'S SELF, SOON THERE AFTER A STRONG SMELL OF SMOKE, CAME OUT FROM THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE POWER LOCKS, AND WINDOWS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD, AS THE CONTROL WAS LITERALLY SPARKING THE WINDOW THEN WENT UP ON IT'S OWN AND THERE AFTER IT DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATED THAT PARTS ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE, HOWEVER THEY STATE THAT WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE THEY WILL CALL ME IN THE MEAN TIME THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE PARKED OUT DOORS SINCE IT CAN STILL CATCH ON FIRE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND NOW I AM STUCK WITHOUT A CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION. GM ALSO STATES THAT THESE MODULES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JANUARY 2013...NOTE THE MODULE LITERALLY MELTED. *TR

MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER STARTED GIVING INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READINGS AT A LITTLE OVER 50000. INITIALLY IT MIGHT SHOW A PARTIALLY FILLED TANK WHEN IT WAS FULL. NOW AT ABOUT 58000MILES IT JUST SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEY SAID GM WOULD ONLY PAY ONE-HALF THE 500.00 NEEDED TO REPAIR THE GAUGE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON LINE I LEARNED THAT PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS UNFAIR, OBVIOUSLY IT IS A PROBLEM GM NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE AS A VEHICLE DEFECT AND RECALL AND FIX THEM. THANKS *TR
