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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO MY DIM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. I THOUGHT TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS AND LUCKILY THEY WORKED ON HIGH BEAM THANK GOODNESS THIS WAS A ROAD I KNEW WELL.. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS DURING THE DAYTIME. BUT IT OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THIS. I HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A RELAY. CHANGED IT AND PROBLEM SOLVED, UNTIL NOW. THE ISSUE IS BACK, GM SENT ME A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" LETTER, I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE LETTER AND WAS DIRECTED TO TAKE IT TO A CHEV. DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM MY VEHICLE DOES HAVE THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE ISSUE THEN CHEVROLET WILL LET ME KNOW WHAT WOULD BE NEXT. THEY DID CONFIRM MY VEHICLE HAS THE ISSUE BUT CHEVROLET WILL NOT COVER MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS OVER THE MILEAGE OF 150,000. REALLY? IS MY VEHICLE NO LONGER WORTH FIXING OR IS THE ISSUE SUPPOSED TO RESOLVE ITSELF AFTER THE 150,000 MILE MARK? A SALESMAN CALLED ME AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT ME TRADING OR GETTING RID OF MY VEHICLE, IS THIS A PLOY JUST TO SELL VEHICLES?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THIS EFFECTED BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND LOW BEAMS. HIGH BEAMS ARE STILL OPERATIONAL. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE EASILY SHOWS THAT THE ISSUE IS A FAULTY HEADLIGHT RELAY. I EVEN TRIED TO REPLACE BOTH BULBS AND CHECKED ALL FUSES TO VERIFY. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF FREI CHEVROLET IN MARQUETTE MICHIGAN AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN TELL ME IF THEY HAD THE PARTS IN STOCK TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME THAT I DEAL WITH THEM.

GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS/RECALL. ON 07/18/2014 I TOOK MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (32,262 MI.) IN FOR SERVICE TO FIX/REPLACE PARTS: FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. TODAY, 06/02/2017, MY TRAILBLAZER (35,193 MI.) IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH IS CAUSING ABS AND PARKING BRAKES LIGHTS TO COME ON AND STAY ON, THE BLOWER FOR AIR/VENT WILL NOT WORK AND SINCE THESE PARTS ARE ALL CONNECTED ELECTRICALLY, I ONCE AGAIN HAVE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I WAS NEVER REIMBURSED FOR THE FIRST RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WOULD HATE TO GET RID OF A PERFECTLY GOOD VEHICLE, THAT HAS HELD UP ALL OF THIS TIME, I ONLY HAVE 35,200 MILES ON THIS 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WILL THE IGNITION SWITCH KEEP FAILING ON THIS VEHICLE? THANK YOU.

SEAT BELTS
I FILED A COMPLAINT ON 5/1/2017 TRACKING NUMBER 10981579 CANNOT FIND A REPLY ON YOUR SITE. I TOOK MY SUV TO DEALER HAD IT CHECKED OUT IT SAID THAT THE SELT BELT PRETENSIONERS NEED TO BE REPLACED THAT THEY CONNECT TO AIRBAGS. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN A ACCIDENT SO IT WOULD SEM THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR BELTS. CHEVORLET GM STILL SAY THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS SINCE THERE ISN'T ANT WARANTY ON SUV. BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO MALFUCTION WITH THEIR BELTS .TO HAVE HAPPENED TO TWO SEATBELTS IT HAS TO BE IN MY OPINION. AND I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE TO GET HURT BECAUSE THEIR SEAT BELT CAN NOT UNLOCK AND THEY ARE TRAPPED IN THEIR CAR.
