Wiring problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated his vehicle was included in NHTSA recall campaign number: 13v248000 (electrical system , visibility). The contact stated the driver's side door window and door locks were not functioning intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair where a protective coating was applied to the driver's side door module. After the recall repair was performed the driver's side door window and locks stopped functioning completely. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the technician stated the driver's side door module wiring had to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

I got into my vehicle Saturday (1-19-2013) to drive into town to do some errands. I tried to put down my driver side window and the switch would not work. I got into town and went to the store. Upon leaving the store I tried my window again and it went down 1/4 of the way and stopped. Now it is stuck 1/4 of the way down. On occasion I have smelled something that smelled like wiring getting hot but could never pinpoint the cause.

Within the past 6 months, various electrical and fuel problems have emerged: the fuel gauge no longer functions at all (it always shows "empty"); the a/c works intermittently; the rear a/c and heater do not function regularly; the service engine light is always lit; odd and random issues with the stereo system occur (stations & settings randomly changing on their own, powering on/off by itself, not powering on/off as it should, & only one speaker is working at the moment); the key not releasing from the ignition; engine not turning over to start; battery dying without reason; power steering failure; alt. Gauge dropping; reduced engine power while on the highway (suddenly limiting speed to 20 mph or less); rear wiper turning on by itself; power seat malfunctioning; rough engine idle; entire instrument panel lighting up; running out of fuel while the gauge indicates that there is ample fuel in the tank; brake lamps not functioning; reduced gas mileage. On 02/25/2013, the controls on the driver's side doors stopped working; the windows will not operate or lock/unlock, the exterior mirrors will not adjust, and the locking mechanism will not work. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership for diagnostic testing at least a half dozen times, and each time no problems were detected, no explanations given, and no remedies suggested! from what I've gathered, there were recalls issued for electrical/wiring problems as well as fuel gauge problems, yet I have never received notice of any such recalls from gm!.

Left front window went to the down position by itself, while unattended, and burned the window switch/module, burned wiring.

I woke up one morning to a smoky garage and noticed my driver door module had caught on fire, luckily the whole truck did not catch on fire in my garage while my family and I were inside our home sleeping. I can no longer control the power windows and locks in my truck. I contacted my local chevy dealer and they tried charging me nearly $1000. 00 for a module and door panel replacement and notified me there were no such recalls on my vehicle at this time. This is not the first incident I also had another fire while at a drive through window, the wiring to the cigarette lighters inside my vehicle caught on fire a few weeks after the door again the chevy dealer said there are no recalls and I would have to pay out of pocket. So many what if questions come to mind. This is not the only Trailblazer I have known or read upon to have electrical issues or even fire damage. Gm definitely needs to take responsibility before there is harm to anyone due to these unknown fires.
