While driving my vehicle it started producing a light smoke through defrost vent on passenger side. I stopped and opened the hood to see if something was on fire in the engine area and there was not. I got back in my vehicle and proceeded to drive it back home and within seconds I had black smoke rolling from dashboard and flames shooting from under dash on passenger side hitting passenger seat next to me I pulled over and my son and I jumped out thankfully he was in back seat and the car was engulfed in flames within seconds. Car is totaled. Passenger window quit working about a month ago but I figured it was a window motor issue but now I'm wondering if it was connected.

I am experiencing all issues identified with recall due to door switch sensor being defective. Intermittent working of door locks not locking or locking and won't unlock . Windows won't work sometimes, and sometimes they will . Lights won't shut off in interior, or won't go on . Delay feature where radio , and other features stay on after turning ignition off , and still in vehicle won't work , and sometimes do work . These things happen when vehicle is either moving, or not moving in park . They happen both city driving, and highway as well. All of these crazy electrical problems began several months ago, and when in the vehicle and I am in park, and shut off ignition, and the doors won't unlock, the key fob won't work to unlock doors either, and I am trapped inside vehicle until someone is close enough to hear me yelling for help, and can hand them my keys out of sunroof in order to put it into lock on the door and manually unlock the door. I absolutely must have this fixed because nobody near my residence to either let me out of vehicle, or to call . Closest person I can call is over an hour away . I am on disability of 720.00 a month and can't afford this repair .

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. Also had a power window motor go out. I understand that this might be involved in a recall of window motors that could be causing fires.

Takata recall, my 2008 chevy trailblazer has 110,000 miles on it and for the past year it seems that I've been having electrical problems. This problem have been going on for about 6 month. Every now and then my car wont start and I have to get a boost off to get it started again. I took my SUV to get the battery and alternator checked and they said everything looked great. Then after that I noticed that my rear brake lights were going haywire with blinking lights going on and off and the car was not on. After I noticed the blinking lights, I went to try to start the car and it was dead. Also, my front passenger door motor went out , so the window wont go up or down.. This is very frustrating can someone please tell me if there are recalls on any of these problems.

At a red light and attempted to close the driver's side electric window. When I pressed the buttom to raise the window the window stopped raising to a closed position and heard a loud noise similar to glass crumbling inside driver door. Is the regulator covered under a recall. I previously had the driver's door master power window switch module replaced due to a recall. I have always had problems with the driver's side window mechanism always slowing down and stopping midway during cold temperatures.

I don't have exact date I bought my vehicle it is just an estimate. But issue has happened twice now. Also don't have VIN with me but can get it if needed. I bought my vehicle about 2 years ago. When I bought it the passenger window regulator went out. Lamb's chevrolet in onida, sd replaced it. Now a few months ago the passenger regulator went out again. They told me well they only have a 1 year warranty on them. Warranty or not it should have not gone out within a couple of years. I am fighting with them on paying for it. Is there any other complaints or recalls on window regulators with the chevy trailblazers? I shouldn't have to be replacing this every couple of years. Also they have one excuse after another why it could have gone out while all in all they probably put in a defective or refurbished one which dealer these days are famous for and charging customers full price.
