My low beam headlights suddenly stopped working. I still have high beams, marker lights, but not low beam. The vehicle was stationary at the time that I noticed the problem.
2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer lights complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 112, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The gauge cluster where it shows the cars mileage and if the car is in park, reverse, neutral, or drive. The lighting for this part of the gauge cluster goes out and is not visible at all. This is an issue for years on the chevrolet trailblazer and similar vehicles.
The airbag deactivated light on the dash cluster comes on and off but mostly stays on now. No codes showing the cause. While driving both low beam headlights suddenly turned off, later diagnosis showed an electrical issue that melted both low beam light connectors and wires at the bulb end, new connectors were installed. Two different times within 1yr the heater blower motor relay has gotten hot enough to melt the connector and burn out the relay, connector replaced twice and currently melting again as fan speed 1, 4, and 5 have again stopped working. Heater blower motor also replaced twice concurrent with relay.
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.

My lights started going out quite a while ago, for no reason at all. When it first started they would go out for a short period of time, and as time went on I had to revert to using my high beams, because after changing 3 switches, putting new lights in, having the wiring inspected wire by wire, (in surch of a bad wire). The low beams might come on for about 10-15 seconds when I first start my engine, (might) every once in a while, and then that go off and I'm back to using the high beams. I had to adjust my high beams down so I'm able to have lights, without blinding on coming traffic. That means I don't have any "high beams" when I need them. My VIN is not in the recall, yet my lights are doing what many others have been doing. I've been dealing with this for about 5 years if not longer. And it doesn't matter if I'm driving straight, turning a corner or just sitting still, if the lights want to turn off or come back on they'll do what they want, whenever they want. The lights did not work for over 4 months, then all of a sudden they're coming on again for a few moments. They started coming on as I'm coming into my driveway and turning off my high beams. But again just for a few moments. It doesn't matter how fast or slow I'm going it happens from zero to 70+.
Headlights cutting out (completely off) at night while driving vehicle in a normal fashion and during good weather conditions with all interior lights off except gauges in dash display. No secondary lights or electronics on and on a dark road with very limited street lighting and while driving at 45mph. Able to regain lights by turning switch through full range a couple of times and putting on manual mode. Light sensor on dash is unobstructed.
Break lights are not lighting up but light blubs are good something to do with wiring with break lights

Head lamps go off at night while driving won't come back on , stabilitrack shuts off an warning bells go off for no reason. Now out of the blue transmission will not work. Only has 1st and 2nd, while driving on any road in town or on. Highway.
Headlights went out driving them came back on then off again. Went to the dealer for known recall 14291 and said my specific trailblazer is not listed for the recall. This is very dangerous as I was driving in the dark for many miles. I should be reimbursed for any fixes as gm knows there is a problem not sure why it's only to specific trailblazers and not all from 2006-2007
Had vehicle for about 3 years now. I drive mostly at night. Headlights cut off at random times. Come back on randomly. When they turn off I immediately turn highbeams on. They always work. Been doing this since I've owned it.
My low beam headlights won't come on. I've replaced the relay switch, fuse once already. Fine for a short time now they're not working again.
Lights start dimming while driving. Passenger side headlight and rear lights keep burning out. Replaced headlight twice within a year plug was melted. Number 4 on the air conditioner/heater control has gone out twice. Clutch fan has been replaced 4 times in the last 3 years. Code says on high speed. Water pump has been replaced 3 times and continues to leak after a few months. All have been on highway or in city driving.
Headlight and daytime running lamps go out completely. It can happen at any time wheter it is stationary or while driving. When driving at night headlight lamps go out completely making it unsafe.
Left turn signal is intermittent. While switching lanes or in need to switch lanes the left turn signal might turn on then completely stop or won't turn on at all. The right turn signal works all the time. The left turn signal will work fine, then out of no where will stop working, then will start working fine. It does this whether the car is moving or stationary, on the highway, streets, or in my garage. The safety concern is when I need to turn it seems like I've changed my mind and might cause an accident.
While I was driving at night my head lights went off and wouldn't come back on until about 30 minutes. Neither the bright or deam lights would work.
Three times while driving my trailblazer, all lights have gone out. The three times did not happen under similar driving conditions. One was while driving on the expressway at 70 MPH, one was while exiting a business route at less than 45 MPH, the third was while pulling up to a stoplight. I have learned to use the lighting control knob on the console, turning it to the right and back again until the lights come back on. The part of system causing the issue is unknown to me.

The low beam lights flicker and the go out when driving. This is caused when the #46 hdm relay/module overheats. Other trailblazers have been recalled for the same issue but not mine. The is a major known safety issue.

My vehicle was recalled nov 24, 2014 for it's low beam headlights. The federal safety agency recall number is 14v755. Gm still has not found a remedy to this. They make many models of vehicles, all of which have headlights, so why they have been unable to develop a solution after 17 months is very disturbing.
