WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE EXHAUST GOT REAL LOUD. TOOK IT TO REPAIR FACILITY AND THEY SAID THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD CRACKED. GM KNOWS THIS IS A BAD PART , AND A SAFETY PART, BUT THEY ONLY ADVANCED THE WARRANTY 20,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACK ON ANY VEHICLE, BESIDES ONE THAT IS 6 YEARS OLD. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NHTSA RECENTLY POSTED A RECALL OF THE 2006-2009 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FOR HEADLIGHT ISSUES DUE TO A HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) THAT IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY AND CAN CAUSE THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT 370 AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT HAPPENED MAYBE ONCE IN 2012 AND THEN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER DID IT AGAIN AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY (AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK OR SO). PLEASE EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALSO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AS WELL. *DT

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THEM TO COME ON AGAIN AND HAD TO DRIVE 15 MILES IN TRAFFIC WITH THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON. I CHECKED THE LAMPS, SOCKETS, FUSES AND WIRING. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND, SO I REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT RELAY. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUE TO INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. AFTER PARKING THE CAR THE HEADLIGHTS BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. THE DEALER AND GM SAY THERE IS A RECALL IN THE WORKS FOR SOME 2006 TRAILBLAZERS, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. GM NEEDS TO EXPAND THIS PENDING RECALL TO COVER ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON SINCE IT STARTED. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT HOWEVER THEY INDICATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THE EXPENSE WAS GOING TO BE OVER $1000 TO REPAIR, WHICH I DON'T HAVE. GIVEN THE RECENT RECALLS ON AIR BAGS, AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I FOUND RECENTLY ON YOUR SITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT MAY WARRANT RECALL/REPAIR FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND NOT OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR THE CONSUMER. *TR
