The power window control shorted out in the driver's door and caused a fire inside the door. ..updated 04/19/12 *bf
At 45,000 miles I have had to have the tierods replaced and there is still something wrong with the passenger side wheel assembly, but they can't seem to figure out what the squeak is. It could be a bearing I have been told, but they don't know without tearing it all down. 2nd is the power window on the drivers side is getting slower to come up and I can smell wires burning at times (although I am not sure if the 2 are related) I have also had to replace the "idler pulley" at 42,000 miles.....this seems ridiculous as it keeps turning out to be one thing after another?????
I have had several problems with my window regulators, I had the switch and electrical replaced on the driver side door and I am having a problem with the window not working again. Also, now the window regulator is broken on the passenger side door. At the same time I am also having an issue with the electrical, I can tell that in combination with the window problems the lighting on the dashboard where the light is dimmed on one side. Overall, the windows are a huge safety concern with the fact they won't roll up or down depending on the issue and I'm concerned with the fire concern because it does it appear when the dealership fixed the driver side window there appeared to be melting of something that could have been burnt.
First occurrence, driver window would not go down early summer 2010. I brought it into the chevy I bought my car from and the window part was replaced. From time to time I would smell burning but I didn't think it was my car, it didn't happen every time I was driving so I couldn't explain it to chevy. I got into an accident january 2012 and had to bring it to a body repair shop and thy noticed the driver door electrical system has melted. Since it's a 2007 my warranty is expired and I paid the body shop to replace the part $425. I called chevy because I saw in the news that these parts are being investigated for catching on fire and they said that the next time I smell burning or melting I need to bring it to them right away.
Lowered drivers window after a minute or two smelled plastic burning saw smoke coming from control panel I ripped the panel out to see melted plastic and stronger smell of plastic burning control box is melted completely thru I pulled all but two connector plugs as the remaining two connectors are fused to the control box and can not disconnect them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact was driving 35 MPH when the front driver side door / insulation caught on fire. My husband poured a cup of water to put out the fire.

The contact also stated prior to the failure the door failed to open and the power windows failed to operate. The vehicle was not destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 77,000. The driver's side door switch and module assembly caused the fire. There was damage to the wiring harness, door trim panel and insulation. The inner door handle and power mirror switch needed to be replaced. Pictures received 05/07/12
Gas gauge does not function properly and drops to empty when there is gas in the tank. Passenger side window does not go up and down. Vehicle has been back to the dealership twice for electrical issues-dashboard and radio lights go on and off. Problem was repaired in 2009 but is now re-occuring.
While driving the vehicle the drivers door master window switch begane to smoke, I pulled over and disconeccted before it completely burned. Smoke filled up the entire vehicle. I do still have the part. Was suprized there was no recall after learning through a web search, this is very common.
My windshield cracked while driving....no impact, no stone, no thud. Just a crack developing across the windshield. I wirite this because the other day I stopped at a dunkin donuts and just happened to park next to another trailblazer. While I was in the store, a third trailblazer pulled in next to me. When I left the store I saw that all three trailblzers had cracked windshields in virtually the same place???? I also own a 2006 chevy cobalt....and guess what.......cracked windshield this fall just driving down a street. I think chevrolet windsheilds need to be investigated for the quality of glass/material that they are using. Thank you.
