2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360 Complaints

UPON ENTERING VEHICLE TO LEAVE A PARKING LOT AT NIGHT, DISCOVERED THE HEADLIGHTS WOULDN'T WORK (STILL NOT WORKING). THE FUSES ARE NOT OUT. TRIED REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH BOX, BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM SO PUT THE ORIGINAL BACK ON THE VEHICLE. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. DISCOVERED AN ONLINE REPORT STATING A PROBLEM FOUND ON THIS VEHICLE, "HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE FAILURE," GM RECALL NUMBER 14291; HOWEVER, CAN'T FIND ANYTHING SINCE WITH REGARD TO A SOLUTION VIA GM. CALLED THE CHEVY NUMBER, 1 800 222 1020, BUT INFORMED THAT NOTHING FOUND FOR OUR VIN NUMBER. LOOKED ONLINE WITH OUR VIN NUMBER ALSO, BUT NOTHING IS LISTED FOR THIS ISSUE. CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT NOW OR SAFELY IN A RAINY WEATHER SITUATION, ETC. WILL CONTACT OUR LOCAL GM DEALER TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THIS SITUATION TAKEN CARE OF, BUT DECIDED WE SHOULD SEND THIS EMAIL AS WELL.

I WAS TRYING TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS FOR MY WIFE. THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN AT FIRST. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WINDOW WAS NOT LOCK AND IT WASN'T. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE WINDOW FINALLY ROLLED. DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND PULLED SOME OF THE FUSES AND PUT THEM BACK IN. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON LATER. WE CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD TO OUR DESTINATION AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO GET A HOTEL ROOM FOR THE NIGHT UNTIL WE COULD DRIVE HOME DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT CHECKED , FOUND BROKEN BOLT ON RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH V 8 ENGINES.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DARK. AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, MY HEADLIGHTS JUST COMPLETELY WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER CAREFULLY PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I REALIZED MY HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL WORKING. I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND REALIZED IT WAS A RELAY 45 AND 46 ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THIS RELAY AND MY LIGHTS WORKED. FOR A DAY. NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, AND I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK. I'VE ASKED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL BUT YET THEY DON'T HAVE A RESOLUTION. BEING I WORK UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN, AND I HAVE AN HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM WORK 5-6 DAYS A WEEK, THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. IF THIS WERE A SIMPLE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL (WHICH I'VE ALREADY HAD REPLACED) I WOULD BE OK WITH IT FOR NOW. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A LIGHTING ISSUE WHICH CAN BE AND IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED IMMIDIATLY AND IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD BE EXPECTED TO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A WEDDING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH, AND MY HEADLAMPS FAILED. EVERYTHING WENT COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A PANIC, I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR SAFETY, BLINDING ONCOMING DRIVERS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TESTED MY FOG LIGHTS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WORKED THEN. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 10-15 OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SAME OCCURRENCE. I WAS POSITIVE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL, BUT WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, SINCE THE ISSUE ON THE RECALL IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THAT I AM DEALING WITH. I HAVE HAD TO LIMIT MY USE OF THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR THAT THE HEADLAMPS WILL FAIL. SIDE NOTE - THEY HAVE FAILED AT NIGHT TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE. GENERALLY WHAT I HAVE TO DO IS PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (SCARY) AND TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT, AND TRY THEM AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE GENERAL MOTORS (GM) IS RECALL THAT INVOLVES THE DDM ON MY TRAILBLAZER. GM SAYS ITS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL BUT THEY HAVE 1 ALREADY CHANGED IT UNDER WARRANTY ON 3/29/2013 (RECALL) AND AGAIN AT 6/07/2013 AND ITS AGAIN FAILING WHY ARE THEY NOT RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART?? *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE HEAD LAMPS WOULD JUST GO OFF. I WOULD STILL HAVE HIGH BEAMS HOWEVER THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND THEN COME BACK ON. THEY WERE CHECKED AND NO LOOSE CONNECTIONS WERE FOUND BUT THEY WOULD ALWAYS COME BACK ON. FAST FORWARD TO ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BUT THIS TIME THEY DID NOT COME BACK ON. THEY HAVE BEEN OUT AND HAVE NOT COME BACK ON SINCE. I STILL HAVE HIGH BEAMS BUT NO LOW BEAMS. THANK YOU *TR

I AM A DISABLED 62 YEARS OLD LADY AND I HAVE A TRAILBLAZER 2007. ABOUT 2 MONTH THE GASOLINE GAUGE WAS SHOWING EMPTY ALL THE TIME, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGE BUT GM ONLY GOING TO PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR. I HAVE TO PAY 139.00 OF MY POCKET. I ASK THE REASON IT IS A RECALL. ONE THE ATTENDANT SAID THE IF RECOGNIZE THAT WAS A RECALL THEY HAVE THE REPUTATION OF THE TRAILBLAZER WAS GOING TO BE DAMAGE. YESTERDAY I WAS GOING TO MY DOCTOR AND THE CAR RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW MY SON USED THE CAR THE NIGHT BEFORE. I AM WRITING THIS FROM MY COMP AT THE HOSPITAL. I WALKED 1 MILE WITH 98 DEGREES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WHAT THE REPUTATION OF THE TRAILBLAZER IS GOING TO BE AFFECTED.
