2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

LOW BEAMS WENT OFF AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN RURAL ROADWAY. THIS WAS AT 10:45 AT NIGHT ON MY WAY TO WORK. HAD TOO SIT BY SIDE OF ROAD FOR SOME TIME WITH NO LIGHTS. FINALLY CAME BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES SINCE THEN. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS AROUND TO ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. I HAVE HAD 2 NEAR CRASHES DUE TO THE DARKNESS OF THE AREA IN WHICH I WAS TRAVELING. THERE ARE NO CODES BEING THROWN WHEN THIS OCCURS, NO WARNINGS, THE LIGHTS JUST GO OUT. UNABLE TO LOCATE FAILURE POINT. HIGH BEAMS, TURN SIGNALS, PARKING LIGHTS WORK, JUST NOT LOW BEAMS. *TR

MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON -BRAKES, AIRBAG,BATTERY, SERVICE ENGINE SOON. ALL THE GAUGES ON THE RIGHT-OIL, GAS, BATTERY ARE BELOW THE RED LINE AS IF THE CAR IS OFF. THE CAR LOCKED ITSELF WITH THE KEYS IN IT WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF-HAD TO CALL EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE TO UNLOCK. THE MECHANIC STATES ALL THE LIGHTS THAT ARE ON ARE ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING AND THAT THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER MODULE IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND IT APPEARS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME TYPE PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS-WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL RE: THIS ISSUE? *TR

FUEL SENDING UNIT STOPS SENDING CORRECT INFORMATION TO THE FUEL GAUGE CAUSING IMPROPER FUEL LEVEL READING WHICH LEAD TO INADVERTENTLY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL IN MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. FUEL GATE WILL STAY AT 1/4 FULL THE ENTIRE TIME. WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS THE GAUGE STILL READS 1/4 FULL. THE OPERATOR HAS TO GUESS HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS: CAR WILL DIE WITHOUT WARNING (TOOK THIS TO CHEVY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, LOW BEAMS REPEATEDLY GO OUT AFTER CHANGING FUSE, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY, FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY, FRONT A/C WILL NOT BLOW EVER, DIFFERENT PANEL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK, PANEL BUTTONS FUNCTION INCORRECTLY. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - FOR OVER ONE YEAR NOW, AND 4 VARIOUS MECHANICS, NO ONCE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE REPLACED TWO AIR SENSORS (ACTUALLY 3 - ONE WAS BAD)... I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $1,000 TO GET THIS FIXED - BUT THE DAM LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON (INTERMITTENTLY) SOMETIMES IT'S ON FOR A MONTH - OFF A DAY - ON TWO WEEKS - THERE IS NO PATTERN. THE LAST TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON, MY CAR BEGAN STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND STOP SIGNS. LAST MECHANIC SPENT 5 HOURS TRACING ALL THE CODES BACK - NOTHING. NEXT DAY HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC CHECK CODES AND THE ENGINE RUNNING COOL AS WELL AS A FEW OTHERS SHOWED UP. IF NO ONE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT - WHERE IS THE RECOURSE. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING SCAMMED OVER AND OVER. I STALLED ON RT. 24 SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC - AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BOX TRUCK BECAUSE I JUST SAT THERE. WHO CAN HELP DIRECT ME TO A REPAIR WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY END THIS ISSUE? NOW, THE LIGHTS OFF THIS WEEK (WATCH, NOW THAT I SAY THIS IT WILL COME BACK ON). THE ONLY THING I NOTICE IS THAT MANY TIMES THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER I FILLED THE TANK. SO, IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG (REFERRING TO MECHANICS WHO TAKE US FOR A RIDE $$$)? I CHALLENGE ANYONE OUT THERE TO FIGURE THIS OUT. *TR
