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!

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE LIGHT BESIDE IT STAY ON 24/7. I HAVE HAD IT AT MY MECHANIC WHO HAS SENT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AND HAVE REPLACED ALL PARTS BUT THE COMPUTER TO MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND NOT KNOW IF THAT IS THE FIX. MY HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER AND SOME DAYS TURN OFF WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT WHEN I GIVE MY VIN THE DEALER TELLS ME I HAVE ZERO RECALLS. THEY DO THIS WHEN SITTING STILL, DRIVING SLOW OR EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CARS THINKING I AM FLASHING THEM SOME TIMES WHEN I AM NOT. IF I ROLL MY WINDOWS UP THEY DIM. I ALSO WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN MY CAR STALLED ON ME. WHEN I COASTED DOWN THE HILL TO STOP, THE CAR STARTED. MY MECHANIC PUT IT ON COMPUTER BUT THE CODE WAS AN "UNEXPLAINED" REASON, BASICALLY NO ONE KNOW WHY OR IF MY CAR WILL DO IT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP OVER THE HEADLIGHTS BUT IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND THEY DID NOT SEE IT SO SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. I AM SO OVER MY CAR, I AM TO THE POINT I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. I HAVE SEEN 3 RECALLS IN THE NEWS THAT MATCH MY YEAR AND MAKE, BUT MY "VIN" SAYS OTHERWISE. I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. MY COMPUTER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR 3 YEARS NOW, HEADLIGHTS HAVE DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2008, AND IT STALLED BEGINNING OF SPRING 2015. I JUST WANT A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REF:14V755000 PER HTE ABOVE RECALL, AS PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED I HAD REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BULBS AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN A 1 1/2 YEAR PERIOD. THE LAST TIME THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE I LEFT IT AS IS AWAITING A FIX. ON OR ABOUT THE FIRST OF THIS MONTH WE CAME OUT OF AN ESTABLISHMENT AFTER DARK AND AS I STARTED TO DRIVE OFF IT BECAME APPARENT THAT NEITHER LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE LIT. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE HOME WITH HIGH BEAMS ON, CREATING A SAFETY CONDITION FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS IT PROBABLY BLINDED THEM. I ONCE AGAIN INSTALLED 2 NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS. IT IS APPARENT THAT GM DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AS BEING SERIOUS AS THEY HAVE NOT MADE A FIX FOR IT. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD HIT THEM WITH A MILLION DOLLAR FINE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION TO GET THIS SAFETY ITEM CORRECTED. WE ARE PERHAPS FORTUNATE BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE DRIVING AND NOT THE WIFE ON A DARK COUNTRY ROAD AND IT SUDDENLY BURNT OUT. YOU HAVE NOW BEEN NOTIFIED TWICE, IN THE EVENT SOMEONE BECOMES INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFLECT I OF COURSE WILL USE THESE ADVISEMENTS TO YOU IN COURT PROCEEDINGS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I FILLED UP MY TANK YESTERDAY. ONE HOUR LATER, STARTED THE CAR AND THE FUEL GUAGE READ ZERO, WITH LOW FUEL INDICATOR ON. NOW IT'S INTERMITTENT, NEVER GOING ABOVE 3/4 FULL. I HAVE PRINTED OUT THE NHTSA'S INVESTIGATIONS NUMBER DP 10-001AND PE 11-014. I HAVE HEARD THAT GM IS WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR 1/2 PRICE. WHAT IS 1/2 PRICE? 1/2 OF WHAT? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NEXT?
