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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND SHUT MY TRUCK OFF BUT MY DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK. THEN IT STARTED MAKING FUNNY TICKING SOUNDS AND ALL MY LIGHTS INSIDE STARTED FLICKING AND MY WINDOWS ALL ROLLED UP AND WOULDN'T GO BACK DOWN SO I COULD GET OUT. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO I TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET MY DOOR UNLOCKED TO GET OUT. NOW WHEN I TOUCH ANYTHING MY OTHER WINDOWS GO UP AND MY SEAT STARTS TO MOVE ON ITS OWN. MY DRIVER'S WINDOW IS STUCK UP AND WON'T COME BACK DOWN. I HAVE 5 KIDS AND CAN NOT CHANCE SOMETHING HAPPENING AND US NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT SAFELY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM OCT. 2016. THE LOW BEAMS WENT OFF ON MY 2007 CHEVY. TRAILBLAZER. I STOPPED AT AN AUTO PART STORE AND BOUGHT NEW LAMPS, WHEN I WENT OUT CHANGE THE LAMPS I NOTICED THAT MY LIGHTS WERE WORKING. SO I DIDN'T CHANGE LAMPS. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 04/2017 AND AGAIN THEY CAME BACK ON THEN RECEIVED THIS NOTICE IN THE MAIL, AND THOUGH THE TIME LIMIT HADN'T PASS THE MILEAGE HAD. IF I HAD RECEIVED THE NOTICE SOONER I WOULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED THEN. I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT THE TIME! I CALLED THE 800 PHONE NUMBER ON THE NOTICE I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THE PERSON ON THE PHONE AND I TOLD HIM THAT HAD GONE OVER 150,000 AT THE I HAD GONE OVER 3,000 MILES, HE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AND HE GAVE ME A CASE # ( 8-3085956921) HE SAID SOMEONE CALL ME WITH IN 24 HOURS. AFTER 2 DAYS SOMEONE CALLED ME AND SAID THAT COULD NOT REPAIR MY SUV BECAUSE I HAD GONE OVER THE 150,000 MILES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON A FREEWAY, ENGINE STOPPED WITH NO NOTICE. SINCE THE ENGINE STOPPED, BRAKES AND STEERING EXPERIENCED GREATLY REDUCED CAPABILITY. I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET THE VEHICLE ON TO THE SHOULDER IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. ONCE STOPPED, I GOT NO RESPONSE OF ANY KIND FROM THE STARTER, ALTHOUGH I HAD POWER TO THE BLOWER MOTOR, RADIO, AND POWER WINDOWS. AFTER 5 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED.I TURNED AROUND TO DRIVE HOME, AND 5 MINUTES LATER THE PROBLEM RECURRED EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR AS IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I PRESUME THAT I AM DEALING WITH A CATASTROPHIC IGNITION SYSTEM FAILURE OF THE TYPE THAT CAUSED GM TO ISSUE IT'S MASSIVE RECALL 5-6 YEARS AGO.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR THE 3RD TIME THE CLUSTER HAS GONE OUT. THIS RESULTS IN THE SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND OTHERS TO STOP WORKING. EACH TIME I AM EXPECTED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PART REPLACEMENT AT $700.00+ EACH TIME. THIS MODEL HAS NO RECALL. I AM FED UP WITH PAYING THIS MUCH EVERY 3-4 YEARS FOR A DEFECTIVE PART. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY SIGN BEFORE IT GOES OUT.

AIR BAGS
SERVICE AIR BAG WITH WOULD PERIODICALLY COME ON AND GO OFF DEPENDING ON SPEED AND TURING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FINALLY STAYED ON FOR GOOD. WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION AND THAT IT WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR A WHILE AND FINALLY HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. SAID THERE WAS A FAULTY PIECE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED.
