- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy vehicles, and 2006 GMC Envoy XL and Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT vehicles. Fluid may enter into the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board, causing window switches to become inoperative. Previously, the affected vehicles may have had their master power window switch module treated with a protective coating, instead of having it replaced.
- Risk
- The protective coating may not eliminate the risk that the circuit board could short and result in a fire, even while the vehicle is unattended.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a new driver's door switch module, free of charge. The recall began on November 2, 2015.

Takata recall I was involved in an accident that did over $9,000 damage to my front end of vehicle. The airbags did not inflate. This was on a city street, and both vehicles were moving.

The repair cost $80 but gm has refused to honor my request for reimbursement. When is nhsta going to do it's job and force gm to expand the number of vins that should have been included. I am sure there are proabaly hundreds if not thousands of other owners like me. The loss of headlights at night is a very dangerous problem and should receive muich quicker action from the nhsta on the vins to be included.
