The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet blazer. The contact stated that the headlights and the brake light would illuminate intermittently. The contact stated that while at a stop light, she noticed that there was smoke coming inside the vehicle from the vents. The contact removed the key from the ignition but the vehicle failed to power off. Eventually, the vehicle powered off but restarted independently. The vehicle revved for approximately five minutes and shut off independently. The contact discovered that the fuse box caught fire. The contact distinguished the fire. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 159,000.
The summer of 2013 I had it brought to my attention that my driver side brake light would fail to light up as the brake was applied. I tried changing the bulb but that proved to not be the problem as it still failed to light up. The following summer the same thing happened with the passenger side brake light. I am unsure if it is an electrical problem or a sensor that has gone bad. I can only assume that it is an electrical problem due to the fact that the back windsheild wiper stopped working due to electrical issues.
Rear brake lights keep going and having to change them bi weekly.
While traveling around town on 3/14/12, I noticed when it got dark that I did not have any low beam headlights. I was traveling on a interstate which caused me to have to use only my high beam headlights until I got home. On the trip home many drivers became very agitated due to me having to drive with my high beams. . I found online that many Trailblazer owners have had the same problems, but Chevrolet has not issued a recall for those problems. I have not noticed or have been told that my brake lights are out at the same time, I just want gm to own up to this defect and offer assistance in paying for this repair.
While traveling out of town on 9/29/11, I noticied when it got dark that I did not have any low beam headlights. I was traveling over 800 miles on interstate which caused me to have to use only my high beam headlights for the duration of the trip. While on the trip, I stopped at a red light when a gentlemen pulled up next to me to let me know that I did not have any brake lights either. I immediately pulled over and checked the lights and found that none of my brake lights were working. The blinkers and flashers work, but that was all. During the trip many drivers became very agitated due to us having to drive with our high beams, one person became so enraged that they turned around and followed us while trying to run us off of the road. I found online that many Trailblazer owners have had the same problems, but Chevrolet has not issued a recall for those problems. I contacted Chevrolet's headquarters and was told that a recall has not been issued and the cost would be my responsibility.
The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the drivers side brake light would not illuminate when the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the wires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer were made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000 and the current mileage was 109,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The low beam headlights on my 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer ext continue to go out. The problem started about 3 years ago where initially the drivers side low beam light would turn on and off intermittently. Then, the pig-tail wiring to the bulb burned up (luckily not causing a fire, which my mechanic said could have happened). The pig-tail was replaced and the light worked, but only for about 8-10 months, which the wiring burned up again. The same mechanic replaced the wiring again, and this time it only lasted about 6-8 months, and he replaced it yet again. This final wiring replacement lasted, but the relay went up. We replaced the relay several months ago, but now the light is starting to work intermittently again, worrying me that the pig-tail will burn up again and possibly catch fire. The first time it burned up, I noticed some very noxious fumes while driving which nausiated me terribly. I understand other Trailblazers have this problem. I would love to see a recall on it as there is a similar recall on some of the Trailblazers for the brake lights.
