Six problems related to ignition switch have been reported for the 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
About 3 weeks ago I lost power and all dash lights were flashing. Pulled to side and restarted without problem. Yesterday, I had SUV in for new tires and when they went to back out of the bay smoke came from the steering column. When they tried again, the ignition switch is dead, no dashboard lights. Disconnected battery to prevent a fire and am towing to Chevrolet dealer.
Letter from senator cardin on behalf of constituent re gm recall. 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The consumer stated her Chevrolet Trailblazer, cut off in the middle of the road. She was informed, her vehicle was not included in the ignition switch recall. . . Updated 10/01/14.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 118,000.
Car has a delay in starting. Starts to turn over, but sounds like its trying too hard. Once started the clock resets to 1200 and the check engine light was on. When the dealership checked for a code the only thing that came up had to do with the gas cap not being on tight. It has been happening with more frequency regardless of how tight the gas cap is. Check engine light is no longer coming on. Battery gauge is where it should be once it starts and does not drain. Wondering if it could possible be a faulty ignition switch, but the dealership won't attempt a fix as they cannot get the problem to duplicate.
The ignition will not turn off unless the bright lights are on. At times, it will start automatically even when the ignition switch is turned off. Sometimes the ignition will not turn on or off at all. Fuel system is faulty. Consistently problems have caused the fuel pump to go out repeatedly, and the fuel gauge to stop working. Motor in the drivers seat stopped working after months of problems. The radio has stopped working. We've replaced the fuse, and have been told its an electrical problem.
While driving on 96 freeway, my SUV shut off without warning. Ever since then it continued to shut off at random times. Had the ignition switch replace and would like to be refunded for the repairs. I just seen on the fox news that general motors is recalling vehicles of my year that's why I'm reporting.
