FOR APPROX. 4 MONTHS I WOULD GO TO GET INTO MY TRAILBLAZER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DEAD. WOULD NOT START UNLESS I HAD IT JUMPED. IT WOULD GO 2 WEEKS WITH NO PROBLEM THEN OUT OF THE BLUE, NOT WORK. I HAD THE BATTERY CHANGED 2 TIMES, ALTERNATOR, STARTER CHECKED WITH NO PROBLEM. FINALLY AFTER THE LAST TIME, I HAD THE ALTERNATOR PEOPLE COME AND GET IT AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT FOR 2 DAYS. THE ABS SYSTEM IS WHAT CAME UP. I HAD TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM (I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE PURCHASED USED FOR A YEAR AND COUPLE OF MONTHS-VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD NOW) AND IT IS THE ABS MODULE COSTING ME $1150.00 TO BE FIXED. DEALER STATES THAT IT STAYS ON AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RUNNING MY BATTERY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
BOUGHT THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER NEW, HAVE TAKEN IT TO HAVE THE FLASHING LIGHTS FIXED ON 3 OCCASIONS, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN WHILE ON A TRIP THE SWITCH WENT OUT, AND WAS REPLACED AT A DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED, THE LIGHTS QUIT FLASHING. NOW THE ALTERNATOR HAS GONE OUT, ONLY 48,000 MILES. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE MANY FAILURES WITH HIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH 83 MILES. FIRSTLY, THE BUMPER IS WAVY RATHER THAN HORIZONTAL. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, HOWEVER, THE NEW BUMPER CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO VEER TO THE SIDE. SECONDLY, AFTER THE TIRES WERE ROTATED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING BADLY. THIRDLY, THE ONSTAR SYSTEM BEGAN MAKING NOISE AND WOULD NOT DEACTIVATE. FINALLY, THE RUBBER SEAL ON THE WINDSHIELD BEGAN SEPARATING AND WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER REFUSES TO TAKE THE CONTACT SERIOUSLY. THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 17,828.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND WHILE DRIVING AT CERTAIN TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH (BRIGHT -> DIM -> BRIGHT) IN A FAST FASHION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WERE PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE ALLOWING THEM TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF THEM, ECT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. FROM WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ON FORUMS CHEVY SAYS THIS IS "NORMAL". DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT I BELIEVE THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. HERE IS A SITE I FOUND REGARDING THE ISSUE HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TUCLLQK4UIF5NA0UT. I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE DESCRIBED HERE AND I BELIEF IT CAUSES AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. *JB
