Gm safety recall 14291 dated january 2015. As of today we can not get information on parts to clear this recall up. Have contacted dealership and the chevrolet customer assistance center and no one seems to know when these parts will be available. Its has been over a year, do you not think they should have been available by now? What is the solution to this. Thank you for your input on this.

Ref:14v755000 per hte above recall, as previously submitted I had replaced the headlight bulbs at least 4 times in a 1 1/2 year period. The last time the right headlight did not illuminate I left it as is awaiting a fix. On or about the first of this month we came out of an establishment after dark and as I started to drive off it became apparent that neither low beam lights were lit. I had no choice but to drive home with high beams on, creating a safety condition for oncoming traffic as it probably blinded them. I once again installed 2 new headlight bulbs. It is apparent that gm does not consider this safety problem as being serious as they have not made a fix for it. Perhaps you should hit them with a million dollar fine to get their attention to get this safety item corrected. We are perhaps fortunate because I was the one driving and not the wife on a dark country road and it suddenly burnt out. You have now been notified twice, in the event someone becomes injured because of this deflect I of course will use these advisements to you in court proceedings.
Low beams cut off while driving. High beams functioned, but low beams would not.

I started truck at night noticed no headlights .I had parking lights and my bright lights worked. I manually turned the light switch to off and on and still did not work. I had to drive a mile in town with my bright lights on to get home.but then the next day they were working again. This happened 9 day after I bought this vehicle.I took it back where I got it and they put in a fuse.I still have issues with the lights flickering and going dim and bright while I am driving also noticed the volt gauge moves around..I am scared to death to drive at night and to even be able to travel any where out of town if they go out while I am driving. I or some one can be killed if the lights go out while im driving.
Shortly after having the power control module replaced & reprogrammed through a certified shop, the daytime runners/low beam headlights began working/failing intermittently. We noticed the daytime runner lights would stop working/turn off and only sometimes turn back on. The low beam headlights turned off while we were driving to the store and we had to use the brights the rest of the way there and whole way back home.
Driving at night and all exterior lights go out.
While driving down the highway at night the headlights just went out almost went off road because it happened on a slight turn to the right. Luckily it was a median divided road and I was in the left lane so I was able to pull over and stop. They came back on after about ten minutes of sitting while looking under hood and everywhere else trying to remedy the problem.
I was driving and headlights just stopped working for no reason fuses and bulbs are all good can't figure out why headlights won't work
When I am driving my low beam headlights just go complete out without warning. This happens anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes of driving. My bright lights will work but not the low beam. Then several hours after I have stopped driving they work again. I understand there was a recall on multiple years for this problem with the trailblazers including 2006 which is my vehicle however I still have not received a recall notification. I don't understand why not!! I have called and filled out a complaint form previously with no response. Can you please explain to my why my vehicle is not eligible?

Headlights went out while driving at night. Only brights worked. Rear driver's side window went down mysteriously and would not go up for 24 hrs. Daytime running lights (drl) not working.
While driving down the road after dark my low neam headlights went out. This has happened several times. I was looking for an air conditioner part online and stumbled across the recall. Recall number 14v755000. The recall was issued in november of 2014. It os now june of 2015, they have had enough time to haveremedy. Is there anything I can do to get something done with my vehicle...a refund?? A temporary fix?? Anything at all?
While driving down the road my headlights would go out. We put a new fuse in that has helped for a while. Now about 2 months ago I shut my car off and opened the doorthe radio would not shut off so I turned my car on and back off it went off that time. I took my daughter into dance went out to get something out of my car and my headlights were still on. So I turned my car on and off looked still on so I went back to watch my daughters dance. After another hour it was time to go home walked outside headlights were still on. Got home my husband looked at it and tried turning them off nothing would turn them off. So he pulled the fuses he said the relay was so hot he couldn't even touch it. So I have no dim lights unless I carry fuses with me to out in and take out or I just can't drive it at night.

In 2014 my wife received 3 ero's for headlight being out, each time I replaced the bulb and had the ero signed off. In the first of this year we became aware of the safety recall that you had issued for a headlight module problem. Soon thereafter we recieved the gm notification about the recall. My wife immediately made an appointment with the local gm dealer, hertriech's in easton md, they called the following day and canceled the appointment advising that the replacement parts are not available. Since then my wife has been stopped 3 more times and issued warnings, even after showing the officers the recall letter. We decided to do a follow up on the replacement part and hertriech has stated that the replacement parts is not going to be available for up to a year. In the meantime the occupants of the vehicle are at risk for injury or even death if the other headlight decides to quit while driving on dark road at night.
Last year, I was pulled over by a police officer for a burned out headlamp. I had it replaced and it burned out again on my 2006 trailblazer. The mechanic who looked into the issue told me it's a known problem for many gm vehicles, namely an issue with the headlamp driver module. I spent hundreds of dollars to have this fixed. I now see that the there is a recall for certain gm models - including some 06 trailblazers. However, chevrolet tells me my VIN # is not included. Obviously, it is an issue & more vehicles should be included.
