While traveling around town on 3/14/12, I noticed when it got dark that I did not have any low beam headlights. I was traveling on a interstate which caused me to have to use only my high beam headlights until I got home. On the trip home many drivers became very agitated due to me having to drive with my high beams. . I found online that many trailblazer owners have had the same problems, but chevrolet has not issued a recall for those problems. I have not noticed or have been told that my brake lights are out at the same time, I just want gm to own up to this defect and offer assistance in paying for this repair.

Low-beam headlights go off without warning after about 20 minutes driving. Dashboard lights still on... (not a fuse problem...not a blown headlight)...after car is turned off for a while(30 minutes or so). Lights will come on when car is started...problem repeats itself after 20 minutes or so...the problem is that the driver may not know the lights are off unless the street is extremely dark...making the driver a hazard to others on the road, as well as himself.
While traveling out of town on 9/29/11, I noticed when it got dark that I did not have any low beam headlights. I was traveling over 800 miles on interstate which caused me to have to use only my high beam headlights for the duration of the trip. While on the trip, I stopped at a red light when a gentlemen pulled up next to me to let me know that I did not have any brake lights either. I immediately pulled over and checked the lights and found that none of my brake lights were working. The blinkers and flashers work, but that was all. During the trip many drivers became very agitated due to us having to drive with our high beams, one person became so enraged that they turned around and followed us while trying to run us off of the road. I found online that many trailblazer owners have had the same problems, but chevrolet has not issued a recall for those problems. I contacted chevrolet's headquarters and was told that a recall has not been issued and the cost would be my responsibility.
