VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ON A SPEED AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK DOWN TO 0 IS BY TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. FROM MY RESEARCH ON THIS IT APPEARS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY MANY PEOPLE BUT NOTHING GETS DONE ABOUT IT. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL TO GET IT FIXED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PARKED MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN MY DRIVEWAY SUNDAY 6/21/2015. I RECEIVED A CALL AN HOUR LATER FROM MY NEIGHBOR THAT MY LIGHTS WAS STILL ON. I ALWAYS HAVE MY LIGHTS SET THAT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THEY GO OFF AUTOMATICALLY. TRIED TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS WITH NO LUCK. I SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. FOUND THE FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE BAY AND NOTICED THAT THE HDM MODULE #45 WAS COMPLETELY MELTED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUTO SHOP, NOT ONLY DID THEY FIND THAT THE HDM MODULE #45 WAS MELTED, IT HAD RUINED THE MAIN FUSE CIRCUIT BOARD FROM THE HEAT. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAYLIGHT AND NOT AT NIGHT, BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD HEADLIGHTS VERY LONG WITH THIS MODULE BEING MELTED. ALSO THIS COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE BAY WITH THE AMOUNT OF HEAT THAT WAS COMING OFF OF THE MELTED HDM MODULE. THIS I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IN THE TRAILBLAZERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN READY EMPTY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I LOOKED ON INTERNET TO SEE HOW TO FIX OR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. I NOTICED THERE WAS A LETTER SENT YEARS AGO TO THE AFFECT THAT GM WOULD COVER HALF THE COST TO REPAIR, UP TO 10 YEARS IN SERVICE OR 100,000 MILES. WHEN I CONTACTED DEALER THE CAR WAS IN SERVICE 10 YEARS AND 2 WEEKS AND HAS 84,000 MILES. I WAS INFORMED GM WILL NOT HELP COVER EXPENSE FOR REPAIR DO TO TIME IN SERVICE. I AM QUESTIONING IF THIS COULD BECOME A RECALL OR EXTENDED IN SERVICE DATING FOR THIS PROBLEM.
