2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

TL* - THE CONTACT NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO DOWN TO LOW BEAMS. ONCE VEHICLE WAS WARM HE DIDN'T HAVE THIS FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD BARELY SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HIM WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AND ANOTHER VEHICLES BLINKED THE LIGHTS TO INFORM HIM THAT THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ON, BUT THE VEHICLE INDICATOR LIGHT DIDN'T SHOW THAT THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ON. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO 4 TIMES , AND THE LAST TIME WAS TOLD THAT HIS AIR PUMP WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE STILL HAD NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WITH HIS HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT HAS CALLED GENERAL MOTORS, AND THEY TOOK HIS COMPLAINT. HE WAS TOLD BY GENERAL MOTORS THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON THIS FAILURE DUE TO OF THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THE CONTACT STATED THT HE HAD NO RESOLUTION FROM GENERAL MOTORS, AND HE HAS CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THE BBB GAVE HIM A CLAIM # 71438795446, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH GENERAL MOTOR AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS. *AK

NIGHT DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THE VEHICLE A CHEVROLET TRAILBLZER LS 2005 HAS A PROBLEM THAT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS. THE TRAILBLAZER DECIDES TO DO THIS TOTALLY ON ITS OWN AT RANDOM. THIS CAUSES A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND YOUR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND DECIDE TO COME BACK ON AT RANDOM INTERVALS MAYBE APROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 SECONDS APART. SEVERAL ATTEMPS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. THEIR COMMENT IS THAT THEY EITHER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR THEIR IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT EXPLAINS THE ISSUE. I HAVE DONE THE PROCEDURES THAT THE DEALERSHIP DESCRIBED IN THE SERVICE BULLETINS WITH NO SUCCESS. CURRENTLY MY TRAILBLAZER IS BEING REPAIRED ONCE AGAIN AT TERRY LEE CHEVROLET AS OF 12-19-06. THE LAST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIR TERRY LEE CHEVROLET REPLACED WHAT THEY HAD THOUGH WAS A FAULTY BODY CONTROL MODULE. REPLACING THIS MODULE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND ON THURSDAY 12-14-06 THE PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN RETURNED. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDEREN AND WIFE WHO HAVE BEEN DRIVING PRIMARILY AT NIGHT. I HAVE BECOME SKEPTICAL ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO ACTUALLY DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHTS WILL DECIDE TO TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE THEM TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. *NM

HEADLIGHTS..FOR NO APPARENT REASON MY HEADLIGHT FLASH OFF AND RIGHT BACK ON AND THEN FLICKER AT A CONSTANT I HAVE TAKEN MY TRAILBLAZER TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM..I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE SHOP SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES..THEY HAVE REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE..THE ONSTAR COMPUTER NOW YOU TELL ME WHY THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS BLOWING THESE THINGS OUT..WHY THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THEM. *JB

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN IT WAS STILL DARK THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH BOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER. THEY GOT REALLY DIM AND THEN CAME BACK TO FULL BRIGHTNESS. THIS HAPPENED FOR A PERIOD OF 15 - 20 MINUTES WHICH WAS WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME LATER THAT AFTERNOON THAT GM HAD BEEN CONTACTED AND THAT GM STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION AND THAT NO REPAIRS WERE WARRANTED. I FOUGHT WITH THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS NOT A NORMAL CONDITION AND THAT I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE DARK BECAUSE IT CAUSED A SAFETY ISSUE BOTH TO MYSELF AND TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS AND THEN TOLD ME THAT GM WAS AWARE THAT THERE WAS IN FACT A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR PUMP HOWEVER THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THING ON AND OFF IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND ON COMING TRAFFIC THINK THAT I AM FLASHING MY HIGH BEAMS AT THEM NOT TO MENTION THAT IT IS VERY DISTRACTING TO ME WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I AM SURE THAT EVENTUALLY, WHETHER IT IS MY VEHICLE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AFTER LOOKING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE I HAVE FOUND 17 OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE OWNERS OF THOSE VEHICLES WERE ALSO GIVEN THE SAME "LAME" EXCUSE THAT I WAS GIVEN. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BEHIND A CAR MY HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER ( GET DIM AND COME BACK ON). THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THOUGHT I WAS FLICKING ON MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND OFF AT HIM AND SLAMS ON THE BRAKE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT CHEVY CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE.*JB
