2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer: engine overheating

Filed Jul 26, 2019 · Lights · 173,400 miles · GA

Daylight/headlights sometimes do not turn on upon starting truck and also have shut off seven different times while driving at night forcing me to drive with fog lights and high beams on endangering not only the oncoming traffic, but my family which includes a 5 and 9 year old child. As stated in the recall and which is the exact action occurring not every time but (7 times)1 time alone is enough to be a major safety concern to me and my family, the headlamp driver module (hdm) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.this is the recall on this issue currently which 2006-2007 chevy trailblazers, yet hendricks chevy says that my vehicle is not included in this recall. This is obviously a huge safety issue especially when my family?s safety and lives are seriously in danger every time we travel or drive at night due to the recurring issue of the lights not being reliable at all times of turning on due to an overheating issue, that once again is occurring in these models yet my VIN is not a part of the recall. The most recent occurrence of this issue was on july 12, 2019! Please address this issue to have other VIN numbers apart of this recall with whom ever necessary so my family?s safety as well as other driver?s safety are not at risk every time we get into our 2006 chevy trailblazer! Again the main issue at hand is headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Wife filled trailblazer with fuel during a trip today. When she returned to vehicle and started it low gas light on gauge cluster lit and fuel gauge went to zero. Vehicle was purchased at 11,000 miles and gas level has never been allowed to fall below 1/4 of a tank so as to prevent fuel pump overheating and failure, hence, this was the first time the light has been on.
