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.

WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS WILL QUIT WORKING AND CEASE TO TURN ON UNTIL AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS. AFTER DRIVING AND AND PARKING, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FAIL TO TURN ON AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE HAVING THE VERY SAME ISSUES AS MENTIONED IN GM RECALL 14291 WHERE ISSUES WITH THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) OVERHEAT AND FAIL, CAUSING THE HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO THEN FAIL AND NOT ILLUMINATE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL STATING IT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND MY VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT OCCASIONLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. LOOKS TO ME EXACTLY LIKE RECALL 14V755000 / GM # 14291. GM SAYS IT COULD NOT BE THAT BECAUSE MY TRAILBLAZER DOES NOT HAVE THOSE PARTS THAT THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE? I AM SKEPTICAL. WHERE IT ASKS FOR DATE THIS HAPPENED I PUT THE LAST DATE IT OCCURRED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN OFF UNLESS THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON. AT TIMES, IT WILL START AUTOMATICALLY EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. SOMETIMES THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN ON OR OFF AT ALL. FUEL SYSTEM IS FAULTY. CONSISTENTLY PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO GO OUT REPEATEDLY, AND THE FUEL GAUGE TO STOP WORKING. MOTOR IN THE DRIVERS SEAT STOPPED WORKING AFTER MONTHS OF PROBLEMS. THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING. WE'VE REPLACED THE FUSE, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTER STATE AT 8;30 PM BOTH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED I MOVED THE LIGHT SWITCH FROM AUTO TO MANUAL WITH NO AFFECT. THE FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. HOWEVER USING THE HIGH ON THE INTERSTATE COULD AFFECT ON COMING DRIVERS SO WHERE THE HIGHWAY WAS LIGHTED I USED THE FOG LIGHT. GOT HOME OFF INTERSTATE USING HIGH BEAMS. NEXT MORNING THE DAYTIME LIGHTS AND LOW BEAMS WORKING HOWEVER SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING TO STORE THE LIGHTS AGAIN WERE NOT OPERATIVE STOPPED AT PEP BOYS AND ASKED THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD MAKE SURE BULBS WERE OKAY BUT NORMALLY BOTH BULBS DON'T FAIL AT THE SAME . LATER IN THE AFTERNOON TRIED LIGHTS AND BOTH DAYTIME AND LOW BEAMS WORKED. A FRIEND TOLD ME GM WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH 2006 AND 2007 TRAIL BLAZERS WITH THE LIGHT JUST SHUTTING OFF AND A MODULE WAS BELIEVED TO BE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS SUPPOSE TO RECALL THE VEHICLES YET THEY DID NOT WARN ANYONE ONE ABOUT THIS ISSUES HOWEVER PEOPLE WITH EARLIER TRAIL BLAZERS HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ALSO. EVEN IF GM IS TRYING TO DECIDE ON A RECALL FIX THEY AND THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE THAT THEY AT LEAST WARN THE VEHICLE OWNERS AND TELL HIM HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICES ABOUT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS AS A POINT OF REFERENCE MY LIGHTS FAILED ON AN OVER PASS DOWN RAMP AND CAUGHT ME TOTALLY BY SURPRISE THANK GOD IT WAS NOT A TWO LANE SECONDARY ROAD WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. ITS TIME TO FORCE GM TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. I AM TAKING CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO SEE HOW THEY DEAL WITH IT. I HAVE ALSO SEEN ON THE INTERNET YOU CAN GET A MODULE AT LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE I AM LOOKING INTO THIS TOMORROW SINCE I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND SOON IT WILL BE DARK AT 5 O"CLOCK AND I WILL BE CONSTANTLY DRIVING HOME IN DARK ON THE INTERSTATE.

I HAD VEHICLE CHECKED OUT AND FUSES AND LIGHT BULBS APPEAR FINE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I NEED IT FIXED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SOLID STATE RELAY MODULE FOR LOW BEAM - HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. WAS ABLE TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS TO CONTINUE HOME, BUT NOT WITHOUT BLINDING OTHER VEHICLES. REPLACED THE SOLID STATE RELAY AT A LOCAL AUTOZONE STORE. THIS RELAY IS A SINGLE POINT FAILURE, WHICH AN UN-EXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD HAVE HAD A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT IF THE PERSON DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO QUICKLY IN A CALM MANNER.
