ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HAVE HAD BRAKE FLUID, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, SENSORS AND TIRES REPLACED. TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS CHECKED; ALL IS GOOD. NO CEL CODE RELATING TO THIS ISSUE. TRACTION CONTROL OFF BUTTON DOESN?T WORK ONCE LIGHT APPEARS. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN DRIVING WHEN LIGHT IS ON. STILL HAVEN?T FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSES IT. BATTERY, POWER CORDS, AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED DO TO ISSUES WITH THE VOLTAGE OUTPUTS. NOW TO REPLACE FUSE BOX AND ECM DUE TO MORE VOLTAGE OUTPUT ISSUES. CEL HAS HAD NO INDICATIONS OF AN ECM, FUSE BOX, ALTERNATOR, OR BATTERY PROBLEM UNTIL THEY WERE BEYOND REPAIR (THIS ALSO HAPPENED WITH OTHER TRANSFER CASE LEAK, LOSS OF REVERSE GEAR, AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAK) . CEL COMES AND GOES BY ITSELF AT ANYTIME WITH NO DIFFERENCE IN DRIVABILITY OR CONDITIONS. EACH TIME IT REAPPEARED IT?S THROWN DIFFERENT SENSORS AND/OR CIRCUITS FAILING OR HIGH/LOW VOLTAGES INCLUDING O2, MAF, TPS, EVAP SYSTEM, WHEEL SPEED, FUEL PRESSURE, OIL PRESSURE, STEERING WHEEL, GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION, AIR BAG IMPACT, JUST TO NAME A FEW. MY CAR HAS RECENTLY STARTED GOING INTO LIMP MODE AT RANDOM DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ONLY REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM IS DISCONNECTING THE WIRING HARNESS AND ALLOWING THE FUSE BOX AND ECM TO COOL DOWN. AND FINALLY, MY OIL FILLER TUBE SEAL BROKE AND OIL WAS SPITTING OUT INTO ENGINE BAY. COINCIDENTALLY, MY PCV VALVE TUBE HAD ALSO BROKEN, AND THE TUBE WAS HANGING LOOSE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OIL FILLER TUBE. AS A RESULT, PCV TUBING SUCKED UP A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL INTO THE AIR INTAKE; WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION INDICATING ANY PROBLEMS DURING THE TIME OF FAILURE. MY AIR INTAKE SYSTEM IS NEARLY RUINED (NOT TO MENTION THE $$$ I SHELLED OUT IN OIL) AND THE WEAR DOWN ON PARTS HAS BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A CASH COW FOR GM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
WHEN TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THERE ARE TWO SPEAKERS THAT CONTINUE TO MAKE STATIC NOISE, WHETHER I HAVE OPENED THE DOOR OR NOT. IF I BUMP OR HIT THE CENTER CONSOLE IT WILL MAKE THE SPEAKERS LOUDER OR TURN OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR MULTIPLE CODES, AND I HAVE WORN OUT SHOCKS. THE SHOCKS SHOULD MAKE ME FEEL AS IF I AM GLIDING, BUR I FEEL AND JERK TO EVERY BUMP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHETHER THE CAR IS TURNED ON, OR OFF WITH OR WITHOUT KEY IN THE IGNITION, IT HAS A SMALL SPEAKER OR TWEETER THAT STEADILY STAYS MAKING A FAINT BUZZ. THE CENTER CONSOLE IS VERY LOOSE, AND IF YOU PRESS OR KNOCK UP AGAINST THE RIGHT SIDE OR THE BACK SIDE, IT BECOMES LOUDER AND/OR QUIETER. THEN WHILE IN AUTO (2WD-4WD^OR4WDL) AND DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSIONS FEELS TO NOT SWITCH GEER AT THE RIGHT TIME, OR FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND BACK TO DRIVE IT JOLTS FORWARD OR BACK REALLY HARD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE CONSISTENTLY SHOWED "EMPTY" AND EXTERNAL LIGHTS WERE ALWAYS VERY DIM. LACK OF AWARENESS OF FUEL STATUS LED TO BREAKDOWN ON HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD AND DIM HAZARD LIGHTS CONTRIBUTED TO POOR VISIBILITY AND A FATAL ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RECALL FOR FAULTY FUSE OR CONNECTION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR THAT COULD MALFUNCTION IF THE WIRING BECAME WET AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I WAS NOTIFIED BY REGULAR MAIL FROM CHEVROLET IN OR AROUND 2013. IN APPROXIMATELY 2015, THERE WAS A SHORT IN A FUSE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AFTER A RAINSTORM. THE POWER WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT WORK. THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE WINDOW FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AGAIN. I HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THE WINDOW OR THE DOOR SINCE THAT TIME.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DAYLIGHT/HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES DO NOT TURN ON UPON STARTING TRUCK AND ALSO HAVE SHUT OFF SEVEN DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ON ENDANGERING NOT ONLY THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT MY FAMILY WHICH INCLUDES A 5 AND 9 YEAR OLD CHILD. AS STATED IN THE RECALL AND WHICH IS THE EXACT ACTION OCCURRING NOT EVERY TIME BUT (7 TIMES)1 TIME ALONE IS ENOUGH TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME AND MY FAMILY, THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) MAY OVERHEAT AND FAIL, CAUSING THE HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE.THIS IS THE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE CURRENTLY WHICH 2006-2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS, YET HENDRICKS CHEVY SAYS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY?S SAFETY AND LIVES ARE SERIOUSLY IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE TRAVEL OR DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE RECURRING ISSUE OF THE LIGHTS NOT BEING RELIABLE AT ALL TIMES OF TURNING ON DUE TO AN OVERHEATING ISSUE, THAT ONCE AGAIN IS OCCURRING IN THESE MODELS YET MY VIN IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE WAS ON JULY 12, 2019! PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE TO HAVE OTHER VIN NUMBERS APART OF THIS RECALL WITH WHOM EVER NECESSARY SO MY FAMILY?S SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVER?S SAFETY ARE NOT AT RISK EVERY TIME WE GET INTO OUR 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER! AGAIN THE MAIN ISSUE AT HAND IS HEADLAMPS THAT DO NOT ILLUMINATE REDUCE THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE THE ROADWAY AND REDUCE THE VEHICLE'S VISIBILITY TO ONCOMING VEHICLES, BOTH OF WHICH INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
