AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SPUN OUT ON SNOW WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. IT WENT TOWARDS THE LEFT THEN IMMEDIATELY JERKED AROUND TO THE RIGHT AND CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED AS IT LAUNCHED US OFF THE ROADWAY AND INTO A GROUP OF TREES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T BUDGE, THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO TURN IN CIRCLES NOT CONTROLLING THE TIRES AT ALL. THE BACKSEAT BROKE APART BEFORE IMPACT AND WAS THROWING MY TEENAGE SON AROUND IN THE BACK. THE FRONT SEATS BROKE LOOSE AS WELL AND SLAMMED BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER INTO THE DASH DURING IMPACT. THE SEATBELTS DID NOT ENGAGE TO LOCK INTO PLACE LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AND DESPITE FULL FRONTAL DAMAGE AND A SUV DEEMED TOTALLED/DESTROYED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED OR ATTEMPTED TO DEPLOY. WE WERE ALL TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND ALL SUSTAINED INJURIES IN THE CRASH INCLUDING CUTS, BRUISES, WHIPLASH, AND MY DAUGHTER HAD A CONCUSSION. MY DAUGHTER HAD A VP SHUNT PLACED IN HER BRAIN LAST YEAR AND COULD'VE EASILY DIED IN THIS CRASH DUE TO HER INJURIES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS NOT WORKING!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE NOT WORKING RIGHT. HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. JUST STARTED HAPPENING. CHEVY SAID WILL NOT PAY FOR AS IT IS PAST THE JULY 29 EXPIRATION. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. HEADLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT. VERY SCARY. THEY SAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AS IT IS NO LONGER THEIR PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW YEARS AGO WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. IT SHOWS I HAVE NO GAS IN MY CAR WHEN I ACTUALLY HAVE FULL TANK. NEVER HAD IT FIXED BECAUSE IT COSTS TOO MUCH AND CHEVY SAID PAST EXPIRATION DATE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
JULY 17, THE FRONT WINDOW WIPERS AND WINDOW WASHER OF MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER STARTED TURNING ON AUTOMATICALLY (WHEN I START THE 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, THE WIPERS AND WASHER FLUID START AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE TRAILBLAZER IS TURNED OFF). I CAN NOT DRIVE THE TRAILBLAZER WITH THE WIPER ALWAYS ON. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WINDOW FLUID WILL NOT STOP UNLESS I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE !!! THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON THE STREET, TURNING, BRAKING , ETC.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS INTERMITTENT. WHILE SWITCHING LANES OR IN NEED TO SWITCH LANES THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL MIGHT TURN ON THEN COMPLETELY STOP OR WON'T TURN ON AT ALL. THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WORKS ALL THE TIME. THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WILL WORK FINE, THEN OUT OF NO WHERE WILL STOP WORKING, THEN WILL START WORKING FINE. IT DOES THIS WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR STATIONARY, ON THE HIGHWAY, STREETS, OR IN MY GARAGE. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS WHEN I NEED TO TURN IT SEEMS LIKE I'VE CHANGED MY MIND AND MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL IF FLUID, SUCH AS MELTED SNOW CONTAINING ROAD SALT, ENTERS THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, IT MAY CAUSE CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. A SHORT MAY CAUSE THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY OR MAY STOP WORKING.
