    When problems were reported

    Mileage at the reported incident

    Limited mileage data: 15 of 19 reports include usable mileage. There isn’t enough coverage to show a useful chart.

    NHTSA’s mileage field refers to the reported incident, not necessarily the filing date. This shows report counts, not the likelihood of a failure.

    THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH ON DRIVER SIDE WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME MY FRONT & REAR VENTS STOP WORKING. I COULDN'T CONTROL ANY WINDOWS, MIRRORS, DOOR LOCKS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, ETC. THE HEAT/AIR/VENT QUIT BLOWING OUT FRONT & REAR AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. WE HAD VENTS (FOR AIR) FIXED FIRST. A DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE WIRES HAD BURNT INTO. ON JUNE 5, 2012 WE FINALLY RAISED THE $315.54 TO FIX THE ONE PROBLEM. THE CONTROL SWITCH BURN OUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME & WILL COST $463.45 TO FIX THE CONTROL SWITCH. I SEE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL 2006 TRAILBLAZERS (YOU CAN'T ORDER AN AFTERMARKET SWITCH DUE TO IT HAS TO BE "PROGRAMMED" THROUGH THE DEALER WHICH CHARGES $84.24 TO WHOEVER REPLACES IT (EVEN THEM AT THE DEALERSHIP) AFTER YOU PURCHASE THE SWITCH. WE LIVE ON DISABILITY (FIXED INCOME) AND IT TAKES SEVERAL MONTHS TO SAVE FOR EVEN ONE PROBLEM. *TR
