ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BAD BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. THE A/C COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHEN SWITCHED TO POSITION "5" ON FAN SPEED. I JUST REPLACED THIS PART ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT HAS BEEN WORKING FINE SINCE I REPLACED IT. THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN NOW. THE FAN SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN IN POSITION "5". THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A FIRE FROM MALFUNCTIONING. YET ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN
THE FRONT DRIVE AXLE THAT GOES THROUGH THE OIL PAN HOUSING BECAME OFF BALANCED, AND THE VIBRATIONS CAUSED SEQUENTIAL BREAKDOWNS THROUGH ALL OF THE CONNECTING PARTS DURING NORMAL USE, SUCH AS THE OIL PAN AXLE SEALS, FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SEALS, FRONT DIFFERENTIAL INTERNAL GEARS, CV JOINTS, WHEEL SEALS, AND THE CORRESPONDING FRONT AXLE SYSTEMS. WHEN THE WHEEL SEAL VIBRATED LOOSE, THE GEAR LUBE SPRAYED OVER THE ENGINE BLOCK, AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP. THE MECHANIC PREDICTS THAT THE OFFENDING OFF-BALANCED AXLE MAY LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING IF NOT REPLACED. NOTE: THE DATE LISTED IS THE DATE OF THE FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, BUT THERE ARE MANY ONGOING ISSUES WITH ALL OF THE PARTS LISTED, ESPECIALLY THE INTERNAL DISINTEGRATION OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS AT TIMES DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKE THE BRAKE MAKES A NOISE SOUNDING LIKE GRINDING, NOT CATCHING OR HOLDING, SLIPS AND GOES TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TO RAPIDLY ACT WITH SWIFTNESS WITHIN A SHORT TIME TO REAPPLY MY BRAKES IN HOPES THEY WORK. THE BRAKES SOMETIMES FAIL ON BUMPY ROADS, GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, COMING TO A STOP AT LOW SPEED, EVEN ON SMOOTH ROADWAYS, AT TIMES ENTERING ON-RAMPS, AND TURNING CORNERS. I HAVE BEEN GOING OVER GM'S EXPANDED RECALLS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH TRUCK AND SUV'S BRAKES THE DATE I SAW WAS 12/23/2005. CAN I GET HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM???

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
"TAKATA RECALL" WE JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM MY HUSBAND'S DECEASED MOTHER'S ESTATE AND IT HAD A RECALL ON THE LIGHTING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TAIL LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAS 83 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND THE VEHICLE REAR LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING WHEN I BRAKE ONLY ONE THAT IS THE THIRD LIGHT ON TOP OF CAR. GM (CHEVROLET) I LIVE ON A VERY LIMITED INCOME AND DUE TO DISABILITY AS WELL. MY INCOME IS 1330 A MONTH. HOW CAN I GET THIS FIXED? THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTICS, AS I STATED WE FIXED IT ONCE IT SEEMS TO BE THAT IT MAY GET HOT AND BLOWS FUSES AND THEN I HAVE NO IDEA I HAVE NO TAIL LIGHTS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD REAR END ME AND KILL THEMSELVES AND OR MYSELF. PLEASE HELP ME IN UNDERSTANDING ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THEIR DEFECTS AS THEY DID IT ONCE WHEN IT WAS RECALLED AND WE ALSO JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. PAID ABOUT 5 THOUSAND FOR IT. EXCELLENT CONDITION. OTHER THAN THE LIGHTING SYSTEM NOT WORKING ONLY ON AND OFF. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A ACCIDENT. I FIND IT UNFAIR THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY ARE PAID BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS AND WILL RECUR. WE HAVE ACTUALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM ONCE BUT APPARENTLY SOMETHING IS WRONG THAT WE CANNOT SECURE THE ISSUE PROPERLY. KINDEST REGARDS [XXX].

MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL WORKS INTERMITTINGLY. I HAVE HAD THE WHOTE TURN SIGNAL ARM REPLACES AND THE CIRCUIT BOARDS AND LIGHTS REPLACED. DEALERSHIP IS NOT ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE TURN SIGNAL TO ONLY WORK WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, CRUISE CONTROL AND WIPERS WORK FINE. I CAN HEAR THE TURN SIGNAL CLICK LIKE IT IS MAKING A CONNECTION BUT THE LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF, THEN STOPS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM MOVING OR STOPPED, IDLING.
