Driving 6 people to pittsburgh international airport at 3 am 8/5/17 on the parkway to catch a flight for a vacation when noticed low beam headlights were not working. Do not know how long I was driving before this was noticed. Low beams worked the evening of 8/12/17 @ 10 pm after returning to pittsburgh airport and driving home. Low beams did not work again on the evening of 8/24/17 when driving home from a baseball game. Repairs were completed 9/1/17 by nick chevrolet in tarentum, pa. I had asked before and after the repairs whether this would be covered under recall but was told no because my VIN number was not a part of the recall for this issue. They made it seem like this was a separate issue from the known low beam issue recall of other chevy models. I also called the gm customer service line to see if I could get reimbursed for this issue but was told the same thing; that my VIN number was not a part of the recall and it is based on what factory the car was made at? The part number used was 15016745 which upon looking on the internet is a replacement part for the other vehicles covered under the recall. I do not understand how the same issue can be part of a recall for some years and models and not others if the problem and part are the same??

While driving on a smooth hi-way (no vibrations) the low beam headlights went off. I switched to hi beams and pulled off the road at first opportunity. When I switched back to low beams and they worked perfectly. This has happened 4 times in the 11 years of ownership, twice in one week. Could never induce the problem.

There is already a recall out for the 2006 model year, but I know that mine is part of it. I have a 2005 trailblazer and the headlights keep intermittently going out as I am driving down the road. This problem as happened to me before in the past and I was able to finally remedy the issue by replacing the relay. The problem has now returned and I have even been pulled over multiple times for it. After doing a quick google search today I discovered that there are tons!!!!! Of people with the same issue going back as far as 2002.

Http://fortune.com/2014/12/01/gm-recalls-316000-vehicles-because-of-malfunctioning-headlights/ clearly!!!! This problem is not limited to those years and there are a lot of people suffering from the same issue of not being able to see at night.. What do I need to do so that I can get this problem taken care of? Please respond quickly as winter is rapidly approaching and this is a daily driver for me. I go to work early in the morning when it is dark and by the time I come home again it is already getting dark. It would be nice to actually be able to see as I am going down the road and even to have others be able to see me coming as well.

The headlights while driving will cut off. I have tried replacing headlights with no success. I saw an article about a recall on my car pertaining to headlights. When the article states you guys where told in an email, I don't see that recall on your page. Please contact me with information to fix this problem. Also, my stability control is not working. The light keeps coming on.

The federal safety agency recently posted a recall of the 2006-2009 chevy trailblazer for headlight issues due to a headlamp driver module (hdm) that is not operating correctly and can cause the low beam headlamps and daytime running lights to shut off. I have a 2004 chevy trailblazer ext 370 and have the same issue and it has been ongoing for several years. It happened maybe once in 2012 and then several months later did it again and now it is happening more frequently (at least once a week or so). Please extend the recall to also include my vehicle as well.
