WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF. THEY TURN OFF FOR ABOUT 5-7 MINUTES THEN TURN BACK ON FOR 2-3 MINUTES. IT WILL CONTINUE DOING THIS TILL I GET WHERE I AM GOING. IT WILL DO IT EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE,GM RECALL 14291. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVY DIRECT AND THEY WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. SINCE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, CHEVY SHOULD FIX IT EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED. THE HDM IS DEFECTIVE AS PER THE RECALL ISSUED. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS AND GAUGES KEEP DIMMING WHILE DRIVING.THEY WILL FLASH.THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN COME BACK ON AFTER A MINUTE OR SO.IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME TROUBLE.THE 2006 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE 2005 MODELS WERE NOT.WHY WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUES?THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THE LIGHTS GOING OFF CAUSING A WRECK.THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ALLOT EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRAILBLAZER SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LET ME BEGIN WITH STATING THAT MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER HAS HAD ITS SERVICE ENGINE SOON (SES) LIGHT ON FOR WELL OVER A YEAR DUE TO A LARGE EVAP LEAK (CODE P0455). AS A RESULT, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO MECHANICS, HAD THE PURGE SOLENOID VALVE REPLACED TWICE, HAD A PLETHORA OF SMOKE TESTS AND ALL OTHER TESTS DONE, WITH NO RESOLVE. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM (DATED A YEAR BEFORE) JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AGO STATING THAT "SOME 2004 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES MAY CONTAIN A FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV) THAT COULD FRACTURE.. A FRACTURED ICV COULD ALLOW FUEL VAPORS TO PASS THROUGH AND DROPLETS OF FUEL TO ACCUMULATE ON THE SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK". THE LETTER GOES ON TO DESCRIBE THAT GM WILL REPAIR THE ICV IF THE CONDITION OCCURS WITHIN 15 YEARS THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. MY TRAILBLAZER HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 12 YEARS, HOWEVER I JUST PASSED 155,000 MILES. HAD I BEEN NOTIFIED AROUND THE TIME THE LETTER WAS SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE, I COULD HAVE EASILY TAKEN MY TRAILBLAZER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THIS REPAIR DONE WITH NO QUALMS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE I HAVE PASSED THE 150,000 MILE MARK, GM REFUSES TO COVER THIS REPAIR. THIS IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING CONSIDERING THE OBVIOUS SAFETY RISK PRESENTED WITH "DROPLETS OF FUEL ACCUMULATING ON THE SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK". WHEN SPEAKING TO A GM REPRESENTATIVE THIS MORNING, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THIS WOULD BE AN OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE. CONSIDERING THE SAFETY ISSUE, I WANT MY TRAILBLAZER TO BE REPAIRED AND COVERED BY GM AS IT SHOULD BE FOR ALL TRAILBLAZER AND ENVOY OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL GAUGE IS FLUCTUATING FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND THE EMPTY LIGHT COMES ON. IT HAS OCCURRED A FEW TIMES NOW OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A STALL CONDITION, IF THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS UNKNOWINGLY DUE TO THIS INACCURATE GAUGE CONDITION. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESEARCH SOME DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE ON NHTSA, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY SOLUTION BEING OFFERED BY GM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE REPLACED THE HDM SOLID STATE RELAY TWICE, BUT AFTER A TIME. 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR, THE FAILURE OCCURS AGAIN. ONCE THE HDM MODULE BECAME TO HOT TO TOUCH UPON FAILING. THIS LAST TIME, THE THIRD, THE LIGHTS MAY COME ON AGAIN AFTER SOME TIME HAS PASSED. IT IS AS IF THE MODULE IS SHORT CIRCUITING OR OVERHEATING LEADING TO A SHORT CIRCUIT.
