I pulled into my garage and shut my truck off but my doors wouldn't unlock. Then it started making funny ticking sounds and all my lights inside started flicking and my windows all rolled up and wouldn't go back down so I could get out. After about 20 minutes or so I turned it back on and was finally able to get my door unlocked to get out. Now when I touch anything my other windows go up and my seat starts to move on its own. My driver's window is stuck up and won't come back down. I have 5 kids and can not chance something happening and us not being able to get out safely.

What owners say
1. My drivers side window and door lock is shorted out and wont operate at all. While driving causing the window to remain down during a rain storm and impeding my visibility. I see they have recalls on other years for this exact same problem. 2. My seat belt cathes really tight and wont release casusing me pain. 3. My headlights regular beams keep coming loose and blowing out.ive had to fix this three times and I have only owned the vehicle for a week. Twice during driving at night once I am not sure when it blew. 4. The front suspension is having problems and I believe may be a recall issue. It makes loud noise like its cracking or breaking, while driving.
Left rear door latch on 2002 chevrolet trailblazer ls is corroded. There is a recall on the ext but doesn't pertain to the ls. I can't shut my door because the latch won't hook.I opened the door and could not shut it after that because it wouldn't latch. Have not bee able to locate part at a reasonable price so have not been able to fix it yet. Contacted dealership and they looked up recalls but couldn't help us cause our VIN number isn't covered.
The electronic sensors and key fob to open and lock the vehicle do not work, causing serious problems because the rear tailgate door will not unlock manually and all of the emergency equipment is stored under the carpet in the tail section. This problem started in cold weather and even replacing the batteries in the key fob didn't work. This is serious in cold weather for emergencies ie, cables to jump the car and flares are stored in the back of vehicle.

Passenger side door handle and lock failed to open or lock on their own. Consumer was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the door handle and locks were a manufacturing design flaw, and the manufacturer was aware that this was a problem but has no solution. Mechanic replaced door handle and locks, but problem recurred.
