12 problems related to power window have been reported for the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet trail blazer ext. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the front driver side window failed. The contact stated that she tried to roll the window down but it failed. The contact let the vehicle sit for a few hours and the windows began to work. The failure recurred a few times after. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included on any recalls. The failure mileage was 193,843.
After putting the drivers window down at a fast food drive thru it would not go back up. This was in January, very cold in michigan. Dealer said moisture must have gotten into switch and the whole module had to be replaced. I asked if that means the doors can't be opened when it was raining, he said yes they can but for some reason gm has a lot of drivers door window switches going bad on the Trailblazers. The cost to have it replaced was $430 which we paid seeing how only the dealer can program the new switch. It's now one year later and the same switch has gone bad again, I called the dealer but were over the 12,000 mile warranty. It will cost another $430 to replace again.
Power window control on the passenger door started on fire and melted some of the door panel and window control module and wiring harness. The vehicle has the heated seat buttons on the window control module. (p/n 15096223). The vehicle had been parked in front of the house (no keys in ignition) when the window started going up and down by itself and smoke started flowing out. Completely melted the front 4pin connecter and wiring harness I still have the melted part if needed for anything. I found it interesting that you have now opened up an investigation on 2006-2007 models on the drivers door. I had did a few internet searches looking for recalls or such. Did find a couple post where similar things had happened to others where others had stated having to do with water coming in the window and shorting the switch (if this helps) thanks.
While driving home from work about 55 mph, my speedometer stopped working. I was 32 miles from home and after dark. I have a 2003 chevy Trailblazer with 108,000 mi on it.
Drivers side front window falls down without warning, into the door. Will not roll up into the fully closed position when electric window switch is activated. Must manually push the glass into the fully closed position, however, as stated above, it will fall without warning. This creates a serious hazard in that when the window falls without warning, not only can the driver be startled and make a driving error, but also, given the exterior conditions, create a very unsafe driving / operational environment which could result in a crash.
Right passenger window was rolled down and then would not come up. Window glass was loose would not stay up. Took to dealer. Window regulator replaced for a total of $350. 00.
: the contact stated when the rear right automatic window was opened, there was a groaning noise, followed closely by the window sliding open without warning. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where it was determined that the window motor needed replacement.
Driver/passenger electric window malfunctions in that window will fall/lower itself. Dealer stated the electric regulators that aid/assist the window in raising/lowering continue to malfunction.
The rear left passenger window began to grind when letting it up and down then it quit working. The right front passenger began to do the same thing soon after. The windows currently have a suction cup holding them up.
(1) I purchased my vehicle (2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4wd) in may of 2003. I have taken my car to be fixed on a couple of occasions. Namely recalls. Around August of 2005, my rear driver side window ceased functioning. The rear windows of my car have been the least used and for the forementioned window to cease functioning seamed odd. (2) because of the failure of the rear driver side window, I have to prop the window in place to prevent rain from coming in and ruining my vehicle interior. (3) nothing has been done to correct this failure. I have taken my car by the local Chevrolet dealership, but they wish to charge my around $250 to fix the problem. I am capable of fixing the problem myself for just under $100. Vehicle is no longer covered under warranty because at the time (which was under the 3 year warranty date) I had exceeded the 36,000 mile mark by about 4-5k miles. As a side note, I have spoken with a couple of other Trailblazer owners and others have had this same problem. If you are not familiar with the window regulator, its design allows for the pulley chords that connect to the top and bottom of the window to get caught with in the regulator. When this happens, too much stress and strain is put on the plastic regulator and a break will occur.
You start to hear a noise when the window is being put up or down, then eventually the mechanics of the window break and the window falls into the socket and will not go up or down. Two of my windows needed to be repaired, costing me several hundreds of dollars later. Same situation in two of my friends cars. Same make and model.
2003 Chevrolet trail blazer lt. Window cable assembly- living in florida, I have opened with windows maybe 25 times since the purchase of the vehicle. The cable jumped the guide track in the door and window failed to go up. Mileage warranty expired 7000 miles ago. Dealer states over $400. 00 to replace the window cable assembly. Mechanics state it is a terrible design.
