ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I DON'T HAVE EXACT DATE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IT IS JUST AN ESTIMATE. BUT ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. ALSO DON'T HAVE VIN WITH ME BUT CAN GET IT IF NEEDED. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT. LAMB'S CHEVROLET IN ONIDA, SD REPLACED IT. NOW A FEW MONTHS AGO THE PASSENGER REGULATOR WENT OUT AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME WELL THEY ONLY HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON THEM. WARRANTY OR NOT IT SHOULD HAVE NOT GONE OUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS. I AM FIGHTING WITH THEM ON PAYING FOR IT. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS ON WINDOW REGULATORS WITH THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE REPLACING THIS EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. ALSO THEY HAVE ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER WHY IT COULD HAVE GONE OUT WHILE ALL IN ALL THEY PROBABLY PUT IN A DEFECTIVE OR REFURBISHED ONE WHICH DEALER THESE DAYS ARE FAMOUS FOR AND CHARGING CUSTOMERS FULL PRICE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK HEADING HOME AND NOTICED THE ROAD LOOKED DARK. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND REALIZED I HAD NO LOW BEAMS. MY BLINKERS, FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ALL WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON, BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS. MY HEADLIGHTS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE INTERMITTENTLY WENT OUT OFF AND ON (APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES) OVER THE PAST YEAR. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO IT THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. WHEN RESEARCHING WHAT COULD CAUSE BOTH LIGHTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, I CAME ACROSS THE LATEST RECALL INFO. I CALLED CHEVY AND GAVE THEM MY VIN AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. STRANGE, SINCE I HAVE ALL THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE RECALL AND MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY ALL OF THE OTHER RECALLS ON IT SO FAR. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DARK. AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, MY HEADLIGHTS JUST COMPLETELY WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER CAREFULLY PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I REALIZED MY HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL WORKING. I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND REALIZED IT WAS A RELAY 45 AND 46 ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THIS RELAY AND MY LIGHTS WORKED. FOR A DAY. NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, AND I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK. I'VE ASKED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL BUT YET THEY DON'T HAVE A RESOLUTION. BEING I WORK UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN, AND I HAVE AN HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM WORK 5-6 DAYS A WEEK, THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. IF THIS WERE A SIMPLE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL (WHICH I'VE ALREADY HAD REPLACED) I WOULD BE OK WITH IT FOR NOW. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A LIGHTING ISSUE WHICH CAN BE AND IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED IMMIDIATLY AND IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD BE EXPECTED TO. *TR

BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME WHILE THE PARKING LIGHTS REMAINED ON. THE HIGH BEAMS WOULD WORK WHEN ACTIVATED. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES BOTH OF THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON FOR ANOTHER 15 OR SO MINUTES THEN FAILED AGAIN. AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE LIGHTS CAME ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A WEDDING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH, AND MY HEADLAMPS FAILED. EVERYTHING WENT COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A PANIC, I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR SAFETY, BLINDING ONCOMING DRIVERS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TESTED MY FOG LIGHTS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WORKED THEN. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 10-15 OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SAME OCCURRENCE. I WAS POSITIVE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL, BUT WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, SINCE THE ISSUE ON THE RECALL IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THAT I AM DEALING WITH. I HAVE HAD TO LIMIT MY USE OF THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR THAT THE HEADLAMPS WILL FAIL. SIDE NOTE - THEY HAVE FAILED AT NIGHT TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE. GENERALLY WHAT I HAVE TO DO IS PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (SCARY) AND TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT, AND TRY THEM AGAIN. *TR

AFTER PICKING UP MY HUSBAND FROM WORK, WE STOPPED AT A STORE, WHERE I STAYED IN MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHILE HUBBY WENT IN, I HAPPENED TO LOOKOVER AT GAUGES AND NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE SLOWLY GOING DOWN.
