When replacing the headlight bulb, I noticed that the connection was melted. Through my research I have found that this is a common problem due to the gauge of wire used in the wiring harness. The dealer says that there is not a recall. Since this is a common problem that could possibly occur when driving at night and cause an accident or possibly cause a fire, I would hope that this could help initiate a recall. This is not a wear item so the mileage on my vehicle should not be in question.
While driving at night, my headlights will go out and have to turn on my brights. Now, they also go out, which hinders me going, anywhere after dark. I've tried to get it checked and car repair services do not know why. This is very dangerous to drive at night,!!! I have heard that there is a recall on this and manufacturers will, fix this, for free. I need to find out if this is true and what do I need to do to remedy this problem. ???? lights will go out whether I am moving or stopped at light, intersection,,etc. City or highway, makes no difference. Has been going on for 5 years,,,,.
This has been going on for three years since 2011 at night at random times our low beam headlights go out on us as your driving down the highway. They may come back on before you get home but we have drove 1hr 30 minutes and still not. We did take it in serveral times and they can not fine a problem. They said they can change this n that senor but couldn't say that would even fix it. But cost us $$$$$$ why can't some one fine out do a recall we hate driving on our highbeam and so does the people we pass or get behind. We do try and turn them off when we pass other but that is dangers as well. Please help we want to keep our Trailblazer and stay alive.
Never had issue with headlights before. Driving home from hospital at 9pm and low beams turned off. Had to turn on emergency flashers and pull off road. Tried everthing to get them to turn back on. Sat there for a few minutes and they went back on. Pulled onto I-95 and 4 minutes into the drive, in the fast lane, they turned back off leaving me in pitch black going 70mph. Im 8 months pregnant and was alone on the side of a dark highway. Gm, you know about these issues! recall this before people get seriously injured!!!.
Continuing failure of rear lighting (back-up, brake, driving, and turn). Typically, I have to replace a bulb about every 6 weeks, and the entire left assembly has been replaced twice since the car was new. Bulbs and sockets melt until they are inoperable. Similar issue with front headlights, although only about once a year. Old bulbs and assembly disposed of, but I'm sure more melted ones will be available soon.
I have two problems: when driving at night, headlights go off, not way to see, other than put on brights. Rim, broke to small pieces, had just gotten off I 95, was on off ramp when the car started making a very loud and scary noise, we had two small children onboard . Had this happen while on I 95 we could have all been dead.
2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer/LS my headlights keep going out, in fact both sockets are now melted, if I bang on the lens it comes on sometimes, for now I am able to use high beams has been going on for a couple of years and I keep replacing the bulbs.

Head lamps and sockets keep burning out.
My husband replaced the low beam headlight on the right front of my Trailblazer three different times within a few months. We then took it to a body shop and they replaced the connector. Once again I'm having trouble with the right low beam. When I start the vehicle, it lights up, but once I turn on the brights and return to low beam, it refuses to come on.
Headlights continue to turn off while driving causing a dangerous condition.
Headlights become inoperative when driving: when driving at night the headlights stop working I have been forced to pull over and wait until the lights become operative. I have discussed this problem with my local dealer and he stated that there was know visual reason that he could find on why this was happening he advised that I should bring the car in the next time it happened, this presents a problem because if the lights fail in the day light hours I wouldn't be able to see the failure only at night can I visually see that my headlights have failed. The headlight failure can last for minutes to hours I have been driving on the highway at 65 mph and my headlights completely fail.
My 2003 chevy Trailblazer has a third brake light across the top hatch . While driving down a busy highway it was flying like a wing on the back of my vehicle luckily dot falling completely off but when I stopped it came crashing down onto my window of hatch luckily not breaking all I could do is break it completely off so it would not fly into someone's windshield behind me I work with a lady with the same make and model and hers flew right off her latch causing it to smash luckily no one was behind her. I also have it in the shop due to rusty corroded hoses that went to transmission causing all fluid to drain almost burning up my transmission no indication lights ever came on other than it skipping a little luckily a service engine light came on a week later I took it to garage and just in time. Unfortunately even with power train warranty this problem is costing me 500. 00 out of my pocket no fault of mine wheel wells and brake drums have been beaten due to lots of rust build up and doors that were recalled and fixed three times still not working right also front headlight replaced twice in two years causing me to be pulled over twice as I did not realize the problem of my lights going out frequently.

Recently purchase 2003 Trailblazer and front headlights always worked but flicker, today I had an accident because front headlight signals malfunctioned. Just want damage repaired.
Headlight plug melted and burned. Passenger side headlight goes out repeatedly prior to noticing burn damage. Three bulbs replaced since August 2005 prior to burn damage noted. There are several complaints of this that I can gather from a web forum that I visit concerning the Trailblazer.
Front headlight burned out in November 2005 replaced light bulb. Burnt out again went to dinsdale chevy to get replaced said that the wire was melted and burned and would have to be replaced. I asked how that could happen and they said it was probably a manufacturing defect. I asked if that means they would replace it and they said no it would cost $132 to repair. I couldn't afford that so I bought the part and had to wire it myself.
My right front headlight was burned out, and upon investigation, I discovered that the plug and bulb socket had melted along with several inches of wire. It was repaired after some back and forth discussion with the Chevrolet dealer. I thought this incident was strange, but thought it was a random incident until I read on a web forum that this appears to be a common occurrence.
Right front headlight fails.
