UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED, OR THE COMPUTER PCM HAS NEVER BEEN REFLASHED. RECENTLY I TRIED TO GET MY VEHICLE INSPECTED IN NEW YORK STATE AND FOUND THAT BECAUSE THE OBD SYSTEM WAS UPDATED WITH A NEW SOFTWARE ON THE INSPECTION SYSTEM IN NEW YORK STATE, MY VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE INSPECTION COMPUTER. NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES HAS NO RESOLUTION ALTHOUGH THE INSPECTIONS ARE DONE FOR THEM. OPUS THE STATE COMPUTER MONITOR, STATES THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE INSPECTION SYSTEM. HOWEVER DURING MY QUEST TO FIND A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SOME OF THE VEHICLES HAVE A PROBLEM CONNECTING TO THE NEW SOFTWARE UPDATED JUST A YEAR AGO. I BELIEVE THAT IF CONSUMERS WAIT LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT PROPER INSPECTIONS IN NYS THESE VEHICLES WILL BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE PROPER INSPECTION. I HAVE FURTHER BEEN TOLD BY A CHEVROLET DEALER THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE NOW STARTING TO SURFACE AS A RESULT OF THE YEARLY INSPECTION IN NYS. MANY MORE A SURE TO COME OUT IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPS TO ZERO CAUSING "CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT TO COME ON AND ENGINE TO STALL WHEN THE A/C IS RUNNING AND AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT IN THE CITY. THIS ONLY OCCURS ONCE DURING A TRIP OR ONCE A MONTH. UNDERSTAND THAT TRAILBLAZERS HAVE A HISTORY OF GAUGE PROBLEMS AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING/GAUGES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY FAIL. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN THEY FAIL, I CAN'T SEE IN FRONT, AND ON SURFACE ROADS, ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAN'T SEE ME. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON, AND MY VEHICLE IS IN THAT GROUP, BUT WHEN THE VIN NUMBER WAS CHECKED MY VEHICLE WASN'T ON THAT LIST. I DON'T HAVE THE RECALL NUMBER, BUT I FOUND OUT ONLINE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL.

ENGINE, STEERING
WHILST DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND LOST POWER STEERING. HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AT HIGH SPEEDS THIS IS TROUBLING. THE POWERTRAIN AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES AND CAR WOULD RESTART AND BE OPERABLE BUT WOULD REPEAT. MECHANIC DETERMINED A FAULTY COMPUTER KNOWN AS THE POWETRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) OR ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM). THIS PART WAS REPLACED AND HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM.
