I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS, ONE BEING MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT ALL HAD TO DO WITH AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX. SHOULDN'T MY VEHICLE BE RECALLED? I'M A SAFE DRIVER AND IT'S A BIT UPSETTING KNOWING THAT I DON'T KNOW IF AND WHEN MY BREAK LIGHTS ARE WORKING. ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME. WE RECENTLY MOVED, AS MY HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING ME, HE WAS THE ONE THAT NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING.

ON )9/16/15, I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 CHEV TRAILBLAZER ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH AND THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AND THE THE VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND WAS TOWED BY GLENN'S TOWING SERVICE FARIBAULT MN 55021 TO HARRY BROWN'S SERVICE CENTER FARIBAULT MN 55021. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CHARGED $389.25. I'M CONCERNED IF THEY PUT IN THE SAME SWITCH WITH A DEFECT OR ONE THAT HAS BEEN IMPROVED TO ELIMINATE THE DEFECT AS CHEVROLET HAS BEEN RECALLING IGNITION SWITCHES ON OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET HIT WHEN THE TRUCK STOPPED.

THE DRIVER DOOR MODULE DOES NOT WORK WHEN IT RAINS. I TOOK THIS TO A DEALER AND AFTER THEY TESTED IT TOLD ME IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED $500. FOR PART PLUS LABOR THAT THEY COULD NOT QUOTE. I CHECKED ON LINE TO FIND OUT IF GM HAD RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES AND FOUND THAT THEY DID 2004 - 2007 MINE IS A 2008 EXPERIENCES THE EXACT ISSUES THAT THE OTHERS HAD BUT GM CAN'T HELP ME BECAUSE MY VIN # IS NOT LISTED. WHY DID GM NOT TRY TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE? WHEN OVER 184,000 VEHICLES WHERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO SEE IF I CAN GET HELP TO REPLACE THIS? I WOULDN'T ASK BUT I FEEL ITS ONLY RIGHT TO REPLACE IT AFTER ALL THOSE VEHICLES WHERE RECALLED AND MINE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS APPARENTLY IT LEAKS IN THE DOOR SOME HOW AND IT GETS WET AND WANT WORK IT CONTROLS SEAT HEAT, ALL DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS AND DRIVER WINDOW. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN 2014 AND IT HAS DONE IT EVERY SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT BY THE TIME IT GETS BACK TO THE DEALER ITS WORKING AGAIN. USUALLY A DAY OR SO AND IT WILL WORK. THIS TIME ITS NOT WORKING
