EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY LIGHTS STARTED GOING OUT QUITE A WHILE AGO, FOR NO REASON AT ALL. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THEY WOULD GO OUT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND AS TIME WENT ON I HAD TO REVERT TO USING MY HIGH BEAMS, BECAUSE AFTER CHANGING 3 SWITCHES, PUTTING NEW LIGHTS IN, HAVING THE WIRING INSPECTED WIRE BY WIRE, (IN SURCH OF A BAD WIRE). THE LOW BEAMS MIGHT COME ON FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS WHEN I FIRST START MY ENGINE, (MIGHT) EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, AND THEN THAT GO OFF AND I'M BACK TO USING THE HIGH BEAMS. I HAD TO ADJUST MY HIGH BEAMS DOWN SO I'M ABLE TO HAVE LIGHTS, WITHOUT BLINDING ON COMING TRAFFIC. THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE ANY "HIGH BEAMS" WHEN I NEED THEM. MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL, YET MY LIGHTS ARE DOING WHAT MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN DOING. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS IF NOT LONGER. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M DRIVING STRAIGHT, TURNING A CORNER OR JUST SITTING STILL, IF THE LIGHTS WANT TO TURN OFF OR COME BACK ON THEY'LL DO WHAT THEY WANT, WHENEVER THEY WANT. THE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK FOR OVER 4 MONTHS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY'RE COMING ON AGAIN FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THEY STARTED COMING ON AS I'M COMING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNING OFF MY HIGH BEAMS. BUT AGAIN JUST FOR A FEW MOMENTS. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I'M GOING IT HAPPENS FROM ZERO TO 70+.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT AND JUST LIKE THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS MINE HAS A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK FILLER ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. IT'S A KNOWN BAD PART FEOM THE FACTORY. MINE HAS HAD A HOLE FOR A WHILE NOW. IT CAN LITERALLY LEAK OVER 10 GALLONS OF GAS A DAY IF YOU FILL THE TANK TO FULL. EVEN IF YOU DON'T THE SMELL OF GAS IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF IT. IT RUNS LIKE CRAP BECAUSE OF IT. WHAT'S MORE DANGEROUS THAN SPILLING GAS EVERYWHERE YOU GO!? SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD CHEVY PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON THERE 2004 TRAILBLAZER. LOOK IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR VIN# IS OR HOW MANY MILES AT THIS POINT (I JUST HIT 150,000) THE GAS TANKS ON THESE VEHICLES ARE FAULTY, THEY'RE DANGEROUS, THEY'RE EXSPENSIVE. I SURELY DONT HAVE $800-$1500 LAYING AROUND TO FIX A PART THAT IS KNOWN AND PROVEN TO BE BAD. WE ALL KNOW TBEY ARE BAD, CHEVROLET KNOWS IT, THE NHTSA KNOWS IT. THE KICKER IS YOU CANT EVEN FIND USED GAS TANKS FOR THESE THINGS TO SAVE MONEY. EVERY SINGLE ONE IS JUNK OR ALREADY REPLACED ONE THAT WAS JUNK. IT IS COMPLETELY CRAZY THAT THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WHERE NEVER PROBABLY TAKEN CARE OF IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANKS
