2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer

DRIVER DOOR LOST POWER NOT WORKING AT ALL, ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS (PASSENGER, REAR, AND TRUNK LOCKING FUNCTIONS WORK) THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS SAME FUNCTION FOR 2006-2007 BUT 2008 WAS NOT INCLUDE. THE CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. A POWER SHORT IN DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY OR BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE SHORT CAUSE OVERHEARING, WHICH COULD MELT COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR MODULE, PRODUCING ODOR, SMOKE, OR A FIRE. AFTER REVIEW WITH MY SERVICE PROVIDER THIS IS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASS RECALL. CHEVROLET RECALL DOES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH TO INCLUDE ALL MODEL YEAR'S AFTER 2007 WHICH ALSO BE CHECKED FOR OLDER PARTS PLACE IN NEWER MODELS. *TR

ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX POWER WIRING/RIBBON THAT IS UNDER LEFT REAR SEAT OVERHEATED AND CAUGHT PAPERS INSIDE CAR ON FIRE AND CAUGHT ENTIRE CAR ON FIRE FROM OVERHEATED COPPER RIBBON THAT FAILED TO TRIP CIRCUIT BREAKER TO STOP WIRING RIBBON OVERHEATING. THIS DEFECT IS COMMON AND WHEN THE MANUFACTURER CHANGED FROM WIRES TO COPPER RIBBON FOIL IT CREATED A MEANS FOR WIRING/RIBBON OVERHEATING AND SOURCE OF FIRE TO BEGIN. *TR

DRIVING AT 45MPH AND HIT A POTHOLE, BOTH SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THE TECH SAID THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO TIRES, WHEELS OR SUSPENSION SO THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. IT WILL HAVE TO BE AN INSURANCE CLAIM BECAUSE YOU WERE DRIVING AT THE TIME. TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID THERE ARE SCUFFS ON THE TIRES AND RIMS AND IT WAS ENOUGH JOLT TO SET OFF THE AIRBAGS SO THEY WERE WORKING AS DESIGNED. IT WILL HAVE TO BE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. *TR

THE INCIDENT HAPPENED EARLY IN THE MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK. AS I WAS DRIVING, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND MADE MY RIGHT HAND TURN LIKE I ALWAYS DO. I STARTED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON BOTH SIDES. IT SCARED ME & MY DAUGHTER SO BAD, AND IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND HIT THE CURB ON THE LEFT SIDE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DEPLOYED LIKE THEY DID. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BY THE FACTORY!!!!! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN 2011 WITH 26,839 MILES. AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH 2013 WITH 33,371 MILES, THE POWER WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND IS NOW STUCK HALFWAY DOWN. THE DOOR STILL HAS POWER AS I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR TRYING TO WORK BUT THE WINDOW WILL NOT MOVE AND THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND IN THE DOOR. I COULD HAVE OPENED THE WINDOW MORE THAN 20 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. ALSO IN AUG 2011 AT 27,522 MILES THE STABILITRACK SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IN JAN 2012 AT 28,547 MILES THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
