The wipers only go one speed and stay on. Less I take out the fuse. And then if I need them I place the fuse back in. I had people look at and they have no idea what it could be. It jest started one day and the window washer fluid would also spray every were.
2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer visibility complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 102, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Wipers and washer fluid would start operating on their own could not make them stop on two separate occasions washer fluid only would spray without wipers working this impaired my visibility of the road and surrounding traffic fortunately I was able to get off the road and stop the vehicle on both occasions until it stopped spraying.
The wipers start and stop at random, only operate on some settings and not at right speed for the setting and spray washer fluid continuously. This falls under: the federal safety agency id number: 10008492 manufacturer communication number: 040843005b
Every time I start the car the windshield wipers activate by themselves . I was told of a recal 04v04600 that covered only certain years of the trailblazer. I received previous repair work when this started happening. Happens every time I turn on the vehicle
Windshield wiper working incorrectly. On any of the low wipes, it might wipe and it might not. On high it will work sometimes and sometimes it works like it is on low (intermittent) and slow, and sometimes it acts like it's not going to work at all. My vehicle was in motion when this happened and now it is on-going. Appointment this wed., 10/26/16 to have it looked at and fixed. I'm afraid I will get caught in the rain when I really need them and I might have wipers and I might not.
My wife and I bought a used 2006 chevy trail blazer. After two months the windshield wipers would turn on even though the switch was off. The windshield wiper fluid pump would turn on and spray fluid on the windshield which greatly reduced visibility. After a week I took the vehicle to my local garage. They replaced the multi-function switch. This didn't fix the issue, so they replaced the wiper assembly. This fixed the issue for about three weeks and now I am going to have to take my vehicle back and have the assembly replaced again. This happens at random traveling down the roadway at random speeds. This issue needs to be addressed before someone is killed. Not after a reported death!
I have a 2006 trail blazer the wiper comes on when I start it and while driving it, also the fluids will spray out . I took it to be fix, and about 3 to 4 weeks it started again. Why haven't there been a recall on this, since there is a lot of people has had this problem.

The issue is with the windshield wipers. They intermittently turn on and off, spraying washer fluid, regardless of the switch setting. The wipers will come on and spray washer fluid within the first minute of starting the vehicle, and will turn themselves off when in use, or go into a continuous spray mode when being used, causing visibility to be nonexistent. When the fuse was pulled to prevent further scratching to the windshield for a temporary reprieve, the wipers continued to go, with no change. The vehicle currently has less than 135,000 miles. The issue first started the first week of november 2015 and has progressed since then. It began with one swipe of the wipers just after the vehicle was started and has turned into an issue during all driving conditions.
My 2006 trailblazer windshield wipers come on when starting my vehicle, and won't turn off! And will spray the wiper fluid out as well, until it's completely gone.
As soon as I turn on my car, the windshield wipers will turn on as well, even though they aren't switched on. They will continue to stay on for the majority of the drive. I have tried to switch from the on and off position and it will sometimes help, but has gotten to the point where that has no affect either. So, it continues to scrape across my windshield ruining it with the dry wiping that its doing. I need this resolved asap! I had a mechanic replace the motor (the part that controls the wipers and the turning signal) for $300 and that had no affect! I notice there is a recall on earlier models but not on the later ones but have seen several complaints on the later models as well. This needs to be taken care of soon!!
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.
I have a 2006 trailblazer and the windshield wipers will come on and spray wiper fluid when it gets ready while the switch is turned off. I use to be able to turn the switch on and back off and they would go off but now that is not working and they will stay on even though the switch is off. No wiper fluid is spraying out but it would if it was not empty because it sprays all the time. This is causing marks on the windshield from dry wiping and I am tired of going down the road with my wipers on and it is not raining. There was a recall on the 2002 model but this is happening on later models and the recall needs to be made so consumers can get their truck fixed

This complaint involves the rear liftgate wiper not functioning. It first started by running slower and slower, then finally stopped functioning completely. I have replaced it twice now, and both times the wiper motor would function for a very brief time, the first time around it didn't last for 36 hours before ceasing to function again. I have been to numerous forums to research this problem, such as trailvoy.com, and it is quite apparent to me that this is a widespread issue, with little hope of an easy repair. It appears the suspect part, the lgm, can't be ordered or replaced by the common man, and many of us do not have the financial resources to continually be taking the vehicles to the service bay of our local chevy, gm or buick dealer. This is a safety issue for many reasons, but particularly for those of us who live in a rural environment of dirt/gravel roads as the draft at the rear of the vehicle always causes the lift glass to become soiled, reducing visibility to near zero at times, which makes for less safety when changing lanes, backing up and so on. Additionally, there has been no solution issued yet for the flickering headlight issue that a recall was issued for last year for these vehicles. This is becoming maddening, it has been far too long. Apparently none of the higher ups at gm live in regions where there is a substantial deer population. Thankfully I have yet to hit one. It would seem to me that this problem is given very little attention by gm.
The windshield wipers and wiper pump (water) went off continuously (on their own) and would not stop. The water sprayer kept squirting water and the wipers kept going non stop. Nothing we did would make it stop. Finally had to disconnect the wiper control module, just to make the wipers and water streaming stop. I could not see anything-very dangerous.

When you crank the vehicle the wipers come on and stay on until you turn the vehicle off.it also puts out the windshield wiper fluid empties out all washer fluid and the motor still runs. Motor never stops running for the wipers. Will eventually burn out.

Started raining, turned on wipers and washers started without being turned on and would not stop. Could not adjust speed of wipers nor turn off washers. Ran off side of road because wipers couldn't keep with up amount of washer fluid being sprayed on window. I couldn't see. Washers wouldn't stop!! Attempted to turn off wipers/washers to no avail. Turned off car and restarted engine with wipers turned off. Wipers still restarted when engine started even though they are turned off. Wipers/washers come on randomly without being turned on and run for indeterminate times before turning off. Without control, windshield washers start and stop randomly blinding the driver. Someone will be killed if this is not corrected. I almost was!

With regard to the below service bulletin, I would like to file a complaint. At approximately 106,000 miles, my 2006 chevrolet trailblazer windshield wipers and windshield spray mechanism activated without being prompted. The spray reservoir pumped washer fluid, at an alarming rate, all over the windshield while I was on a major freeway. I had a very hard time moving to the safe lane to bring the vehicle to a stop, because I couldn't see anything. Even though the wipers were on high speed, this was not fast enough to remove the washer fluid so I could see. The wipers will not turn off unless I remove the fuse. Therefore, when it is raining and I'm driving, I have to pull off the road and insert the fuse into the fuse box to get wiper action. I completely disengaged the washer fluid reservoir because I could not get it to turn off any other way. Gm, of course, fails to acknowledge that this is a problem. Mak haik chevrolet noted that the wiper motor was malfunctioning in dec. 2013.
