The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v519000 (exterior lighting). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The headlights will go out while driving the vehicle. There is currently a recall for this problem for Trailblazers. It is gm safety recall 14291. The problem is the headlamp driver module. I contacted gm. After giving them my VIN number, they told me that my vehicle is not included in the recall. The problems I was having matched exactly what this recall is fixing. I believe my vehicle should be included.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving various speeds, the headlights failed to illuminate. The headlights illuminated after restarting the vehicle, but the failure recurred intermittently. Also, the interior lights flickered occasionally. The dealer diagnosed that the head lamp module failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was unknown.

Problem with fatality risk. In Aug 2016 low beam headlights and running lamp began turning off randomly, intermittently. Will usually work when vehicle is first started, fail in transit. Increases in frequency, progresses to failure. On lit streets,I have no indication that I am essentially invisible. Relay replaced by dealer, paid for 10/1/16. Mileage 137k at that time. Began failing again 7/2017. Drm module had failed. Part alone cost $267. Prior to dealer repair, I had tried auto parts store modules as well, and each 2 burned out within 1-2 months. Gm has issued a recall for this very problem, I think number 14921, established may 2016. It includes 2006-2007 Trailblazers. They extended it to 12 years old or 150k miles, whichever first. I contacted gm. They me that my VIN does not come up so they will not cover this. Will not tell me what disqualifies my vehicle, other than VIN not coming up. Did online chat with the rep and s/he said that I have to file a complaint with you, no internal complaint department, nobody I can appeal to within gm for help. I have another appointment to fix this, but no assurance that it won't just keep failing, since this is the 4th time I have done a repair in 2 years, I purchased the vehicle 3 years ago, so this may have been a recurring problem prior to my owning it. I do not have a copy of the repair bills from last year, but my appointment for next repair is this coming Tuesday, 9/5/2017.

Vehicle was parked for a few hours when went to start up to leave both low beam headlights/daytime running lights suddenly went out and have not come back on. Fuses are good and bright lights work also low beam bulbs are good.

Low beam headlight failure. While driving at night, the low beam headlights randomly fail. The vehicle is in motion. When they fail, I can't see in front, and on surface roads, oncoming traffic can't see me. The vehicle was recalled for this very reason, and my vehicle is in that group, but when the VIN number was checked my vehicle wasn't on that list. I don't have the recall number, but I found out online my vehicle should be included in that recall.

My low beam and daytime running lights stopped functioning last week. I found there was a recall for this, but only for certain vehicles. Gm needs to expand this to cover all Trailblazers manufactured in 2007. I contacted gm and was told in spite of problem they would not cover the repair. I had to drive home on interstate highway at 10:00 pm 85 miles using high beam headlights.

While night driving in the city or highway the headlights just die. Leaving the car with no lights and in total darkness. Unfortunately I have to use high beams to continue my trip. Using the high beams causes blinding of the oncoming traffic until I can safely reach my destination. The light stay out on average about half an hour.

The headlights on the vehicle go out at random times, several times while driving at night the lights have gone out, the last time I was entering a highway and ended up using the high beams so I wouldn't go off the road. This is a very dangerous safety concern.

Headlight fail - they intermittently turn off by themselves while driving and eventually turn back on. This happens very often and I am very afraid of my safety and also of my family.

Low beam headlights will not work. Only high beams. Began intermittently but now will not work on low beams at all. Took to dealership and was told this was not listed under the recall however it is the exact problem.

While driving my headlights will quit working and cease to turn on until after sitting for a few hours. After driving and and parking, sometimes the headlights will fail to turn on after starting vehicle. My headlights are having the very same issues as mentioned in gm recall 14291 where issues with the headlamp driver module (hdm) overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to then fail and not illuminate. I contacted Chevrolet and they refused to cover the issue under the recall stating it is VIN specific and my VIN was not under recall. This issue has been occurring for several months and is very dangerous.

The low beam headlights will go out (off) without our doing anything. One occasion occurred on I-4 west bound from orlando. Have read of other people having the same problem. , yet no recall. Do accidents and injuries have to happen before action is taken. ? it is occurring more frequently than before and will happen under any conditions. Has been occurring for a couple years.

Headlights go out occasionly while driving at night. It does not happen all the time. Looks to me exactly like recall 14v755000 / gm # 14291. Gm says it could not be that because my Trailblazer does not have those parts that they know are defective? I am skeptical. Where it asks for date this happened I put the last date it occurred.

My 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer had low beam headlights not working when I turn them on. I have to drive at night with high beam lights (they work fine) and I am very annoying to other drivers. I had vehicle checked out and fuses and light bulbs appear fine. I understand this is a common occurrence. I need it fixed.

I parked my 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer in my driveway Sunday 6/21/2015. I received a call an hour later from my neighbor that my lights was still on. I always have my lights set that when you get out of the vehicle they go off automatically. Tried to turn off the lights with no luck. I smelled electrical burning coming from the engine area. Found the fuse box in the engine bay and noticed that the hdm module #45 was completely melted. When I took the car to the auto shop, not only did they find that the hdm module #45 was melted, it had ruined the main fuse circuit board from the heat. Luckily this happened during the daylight and not at night, because I wouldn't have had headlights very long with this module being melted. Also this could have easily started a fire in the engine bay with the amount of heat that was coming off of the melted hdm module. This I believe is a safety problem in the Trailblazers and should be recalled.

While driving at any speed the headlights go out and the high beams have to be used in order to see safely. This is very dangerous and unsafe thus can cause an accident. I understand there is a recall on this but our cars VIN number is not included in the recall. Why would other VIN numbers with the same problem have a recall and ours does not? isn't it just as unsafe for us as it is for them? this has been going on for months and none of the garage mechanics can seem to find the problem. We have been very diligent with all maintenance items and would like to keep our car so any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated. We have no specific date this started but I am using the middle of June 2015. This seems to be happening more and more frequently.

I was going down the highway and all of a sudden my headlights cut off. I turned the vehicle off and pulled some of the fuses and put them back in. The lights came back on later. We continued down the road to our destination and the lights went out again. We ended up having to get a hotel room for the night until we could drive home during the daylight hours.
