Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 104, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Well have a rear tail light bulb stop working and broke the outer shell. And my sun roof stopped working and isn't completely sealed when it rains water leaks from the top!!
On june 11 2016 at 5:00am while driving my headlights went out, I used my high beam to return home from by pass highway 15miles. Once home tried the manual switch to see if lights would come on . No low beam but high beam worked. Couple of days later at dealership they could not find anything. I notice on occasion the low beams were not on when driving with the daylight running lights when I pull behind a car I would switch to high beam which did work. On 18oct 2016 time 7:45 the lights low beam did not come on when starting my truck. I tried the high beam and it worked. Had to drive 10 miles on city street to get home on high beam. After getting home I played with switch switching from manually to running the low beam came on afte I turned the car off and back on with light on the manually position. Please help dealer can't find the issue or duplicate it neither can I.. I travel alone and female I can't have this happening. I have to get repaired. On.
Low beam head lights turn off while vehicle in motion on city street. High beam head lights still work. Turn motor off and let vehicle set for a few minutes, then low beam head lights will work again.
As I'm driving down the highway I noticed that my headlights would blink. Then another time they keep cutting on and off. So the other day as I was driving they cut off and would never cut back on even when I would turn the knob for them to cut back on. I would have to cut on my bright lights in order to see.
Driving on hwy 178 at about 9 pm and the front head lights and turned completely off. I moved light switch on and off and my light would not go back no on.....also while driving the kern canyon hwy 178 taking the curves my ingine shut off and steering and brakes locked up this has happened several time while driving at 20 mile speed.

My headlights and blinkers and tail lights go out quite often and need to be changed. Sometimes they will go off for awhile, then start working again. I wish I had a count of how many times I have had to have the bulbs changed, but I did not keep track.
I was driving this morning 12/16/2014 at 50 MPH when I noticed my dash lights,headlights fluctuating also my voltage gauge. No matter what I did it didn't change the state of the problem. The vehicle has had the gauge cluster replaced before I bought it and the battery.

Low beams suddenly stopped working while driving at night. Problem already fixed by auto repair, but very concerned that latest recall only includes 2006-2007 when this is happening to older trailblazers as well.
The headlight socket (low beam) on the drivers side melted and nearly caught fire. And the RPM gauge stepper is messing up.
The problems started in 2006 and were very intermittent. There is an electrical issue with the instrument panel, lights, battery , and other unknown items. The dealer check the electrical system when it started, but could not find any problem. Sometimes, while driving at night the lights went off, and I would have to pull off the road, check any fuses and relays, and then they would come back on. The next electrical issue was with the speedometer, which on a trip across to florida it would be erratic and indicate I was traveling over 120 miles an hour when my GPS said I was driving at 65. After the warranty expired I have had issues with replacing multiple batteries which go dead every 4 or 5 days depending on usage. After the speedometer stopped working, each other instrument panel item worked on and off. This includes the gas tank gauge, the ammeter, the temperature gauge, tachometer, and the oil pressure gauge. They all worked on and off for the next 3 years, and now none of these very important instrument panel gauges have worked for over 2 years. I wonder if the electronics that effect the air bags would work if I ever have an accident. I have replaced many batteries, I still have to charge each one every 4 or 5 days or I cannot start the truck. I have checked online and there are thousands of trailblazer, and their related gm vehicles with the same problems. I hear that a recall was issued for the gmc-envoy which is the same related parts vehicle but there is not one for the trailblazer? I am dealing with these issues and hoping for the recall that we all have been waiting for. Thank god I have a 97 toyota camry that runs well. I wish [xxx] would read this. I also have photos of the non-working instrument panel, and the 120mph speedometer. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When you cut the wheels hard left or right the SUV trailblazer engine stalls out. Why wasn't I informed about recall notices on taillight systems I never received a notice.
I can start my vehicle and the gauges started sticking. I am constantly being shocked by the driver door. My gauges no longer work at all and have completely went haywire. I have no dash lights. My vehicle has just died in the middle of a busy street. I do not know how much fuel I have, how fast I am going. My cruise control either at times increases my speed or does not hold the speed. I have to use a GPS device to know approximate speed. This vehicle needs to be recalled. I love my vehicle but it has tons of issues.
The dash control panel has stopped working or only certain items showing speed, temp and oil pressure work on occasion. After searching online for repair options there are a number of complaints for the same problems for this specific vehicle.
I bought this car about 4 years ago and it has been nothing but an elecitrical mess. First my head lights would go out once a month, then a couple times a month, then once a week. My brake lights started doing the same. Our famliy mechhanic couldn't figure it out, he just kept replacing them and sending the bad bulbs in for warranty. A couple times the pigtails and lamps had to be replaces. Also 3 seperate occasions both headlights went out at once while driving. And I had to drive home in the dark with no head lights on. I took it the chevy dealership after the third time abd apparently my fuse box was melted and needed to be replaced. Spent over 1000.00 doing that and it worked okay for about a year. Then headlights started going out again and brake tlights as well. Not once a week, but still about once a month or every other month. Recently my drivers window stopped working and I couldn't control the master switch to lock my car or roll up my windows. The cluster panel in the door needed to be replaced. Also, had two sensors that needed to be replaced because my 4 wheel drive, parking brake, and crusie control would stop working all at once and the lights would be lit up on the dashboard. I wasnt' able to use any of them until the sensor was replaced. Also the power shorted out in my side mirros, so I can't adjust the mirrors with the control or they start tiliting back and forth like crazy on their own. I have to get out of the car and adjust them manually. Gm needs to do a recall, this car is not safe and I will not be buying a gm car while I look for a new car soon.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet trailblazer. While driving at an unknown speed, the low and high beam lights failed on the vehicle. The failure occurred two m ore time. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 112,500. Updated 09/16/14
The speedometer gauge went down to 0, while I was on hwy traveling at 55 MPH. My speedometer currently isn't working and gas gauge is not working to. Why isn't there a recall on this? The lightening will go out to and don't want to come back on some times.
Headlights turns off while driving taillights burns out at lease once a month (blinkers, brakes etc) interior lights comes on and off at times.
The headlights will turn off while the vehicle is in motion for no apparent reason. This has been occuring for several years. You can switch to the high beams and the high beams will work. After about 10 to 15 minutes of driving, you can put the lights back to normal and they will operate on the low beams. It may be a month before this occurs again.
My complaint is that I contacted chevy dealer and advised of so many issues I have had with my vehicle since the purchase mainly most recent is the driver signal light will not come on and it was recalled 2004 recall# turn signal 05v198000 in which they advised me that the campaign has expired and therefore mine cannot be replaced. I have already almost had 3 car crashes because the signal is not working. I do not understand why chevrolet did not replace when it is clear this is life threatening regardless of when the recall was put into force.
While driving at night noticed no low beam head lights. Flipped to high beam and they worked. Called a friend who said to check the relay by switching the fan relay with low beam relay. That was problem. Purchased a new relay next day and installed it. 2 days later, no low beam lights again. Popped cover on relays to find a melted mess. Low beam relay had melted along with the 15 amp fuse adjacent to it as well as the fuse box. Upon further research on line, this seems to be an ongoing issue with this vehicle. I'm currently hunting down a used under hood fuse/relay box to replace this one with.
Back hatch and window will only open occasionally if I'm lucky. Tail lights went out once and I was able to get the hatch open to fix it. They are out again and I can't get the hatch to open now. I have been replacing head lamps about every 8 to 10 months. Head lights are now going off for no apparent reason while I'm driving at night. I can flip on the brights and then wait a few minutes and flip back to low beams, sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't. The dome lights will not come on and stay on after I turn it off. Half of the dash lights for the radio are out, sometimes they will come on if I tap them. The feature that lets you turn the vehicle off and the radio will continue to play and the windows will still roll down as long as you don't open the door, is not working. Both o2 sensors are out and have been for a long time. I purchased this SUV brand new from a chevy dealer. I have paid it off and kept up all of the general maintenance on it. When I took it in to get these issues fixed I was told it would be over $2500.00 to fix and that did not include labor. This SUV is a lemon, if I was in a position to trade it in or buy a new one I would, and I would not be getting another chevy. I have never been notified of any recalls. I only found out about the electrical recalls on the turn signals and tail lights because a friend had heard about them and suggested a website to check. I'm calling the dealer today to see if I can get these issues taken care of. Another reason I will not be buying chevy again.
I was driving down the freeway when I noticed my headlights went dark. All the other electrical components worked well (radio and stuff) and the lights came back on about 10 seconds later. The incident has happened a few times, but I can't figure out what is causing it. It's happened on the highway, the street, my driveway when I pull in... Usually it lasts about 20 seconds and then the lights come back on. The high beams still seem to work, though.
