1 Latches/locks/linkage problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2015

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving 30 mph, the headlights failed and turned off independently. When the contact exited the vehicle, the locks independently engaged and locked the contact out. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for that incident. Later, the electrical components on the front driver's side door, including the side view mirror, power window, and power lock switches, failed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver's door master power window switch module failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer rebooted the module as a temporary repair, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer and pay for the repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 195,000. The VIN was unavailable.

2 Latches/locks/linkage problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2010

Left rear door latch on 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS is corroded. There is a recall on the ext but doesn't pertain to the LS. I can't shut my door because the latch won't hook. I opened the door and could not shut it after that because it wouldn't latch. Have not bee able to locate part at a reasonable price so have not been able to fix it yet. Contacted dealership and they looked up recalls but couldn't help us cause our VIN number isn't covered.
