UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER WAS PARKED OUTSIDE NEXT TO MY HOME FOR 2 HOURS. IT SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS INSIDE ASLEEP. IT ENDED UP BURNING MY WHOLE HOUSE DOWN. WHEN I WOKE UP TO SEE FLAMES COMING FROM THE CAR INTO MY HOUSE, I CALLED 911 AND GOT MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE HOUSE. MY CAR AND HOUSE WERE A TOTAL LOSS. I RECENTLY HEARD OF RECALL SAYING DON'T PARK YOUR 2006 TRAILBLAZER NEAR YOUR HOUSE...EVEN WHEN OFF IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE. I AM WONDERING IF THIS RECALL IS WHAT MADE MY CAR CATCH ON FIRE. THE EXACT CAUSE WAS NOT DETERMINED...IT WAS JUST DETERMINED IT WAS SPONTANEOUS . I WISH I HAD KNOWN OF RECALL IN 2010, AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS NIGHTMARE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ELECTRICAL ISSUES:VEHICLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL SHOW DOOR GATE OPEN, DOOM LIGHTS WIL BE ON, RINGING BELL WHEN THE DOOR WOULD BE OPEN AND YET ITS ACTUALLY CLOSED, AS ALL CONTINUES TO GO AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOVEMENT. SPEED ODOMETER GAGE DOESN'T READ WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOVEMENT AND THE GAS GAGE DOESN'T READ THE CORRECT LEVEL OF SHOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUES CAUSE IT HAS ME WORRIED OF NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE BEFORE IT RUNS OUT OF GAS RISKING MYSELF AND OTHERS BECAUSE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDENNESS LOSES SPEED AND SHUTS DOWN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND THE HIGH BEAMS HAVE TO BE USED IN ORDER TO SEE SAFELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE THUS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT OUR CARS VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHY WOULD OTHER VIN NUMBERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HAVE A RECALL AND OURS DOES NOT? ISN'T IT JUST AS UNSAFE FOR US AS IT IS FOR THEM? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AND NONE OF THE GARAGE MECHANICS CAN SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN VERY DILIGENT WITH ALL MAINTENANCE ITEMS AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP OUR CAR SO ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. WE HAVE NO SPECIFIC DATE THIS STARTED BUT I AM USING THE MIDDLE OF JUNE 2015. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY.
