Car Will Not Start Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

When driving our vehicle from myrtle beach this week we noticed a smell about half way home that reeked of rotten eggs. The smell was so bad that I because nauseous and develooed a severe headache. After we reached our house and shut off the vehicle the next day I tried to crank the vehicle and it would not crank so after researching the smell and possible causes we bought a new battery for the vehicle and changed the battery ourselves which caused my husband to develop a severe cough and upper respitory problems due to the boiling that was occuring inside the battery. Hence the smell of rotten eggs.

One by one things have been going out and not working. First the car would not start all the time with the key, then the a/c stoped working, next was the fuel pump, then the injectors. I checked everything it could be. I was driving with my kids down the highway when my car just died lost power steering so it was hard to get off the road fast. I got it started and was driving and it did it again. I was able to finally get it home when it would not start again. After some research online found out this car has issues with the fuse box itself under the hood. I opened it up just to find the wording that connected the pins was broken in numerous places and had started to burn up in the box.

Vehicle will occasionally surge forward revving on it's own at random times. The blower resistor pack has burnt up twice, the blower motor has been replaced as well as the melted wires. Now the vehicle will not start. The power windows, locks, radio, dome lights, dash lights are inoperative and the vehicle will not attempt to turn over. Seems like this vehicle has had a lot of electrical issues.

I have a 2006 Trailblazer and a few weeks ago my driver side control panel stopped working. Could not use my remote to open the door and was unable to put any windows down. I thought there was a short in the wires somewhere because the next day the panel worked. Now, two weeks later I stopped at the store and was getting out of the car and again I could not lock my doors using the button on the control panel. I left the door unlocked and when I came out (within minutes) my door window had gone down on its own while I was in the store. When I got into the car, my daughter and I could smell something burning. She immediately made me go to the garage and have her mechanic check it out. He was able to remove the panel and showed us where the plastic part that goes inside the handle had melted and could have caused a fire in the car. He called around to try and find a replacement part and was finally able to find one and was quoted over $300 for just the part!! then, I had to set up an appointment with the dealer to have it installed because it has to be programmed to my car and I was quoted about $103 for installation!!!! I can not believe this problem has not been listed as a recall after reading all the complaints with the same problem. I plan on getting a phone number from the dealer for the gm corporate office to file an automotive complaint tomorrow. I hope to be reimbursed for this part and the labor charge. This sounds like a serious safety issue to me and thank goodness my car did not start on fire while I was driving. . Read more...

My 2006 chevy Trailblazer driver side door caught on fire sometime early morning while we slept. Now my vehicle will not start and driver side door and window module is totally melted. I have had issues with other things prior to this. My door chimes stopped working. My air will not blow out of the vents and my radio speakers are not working. My teenager drives this vehicle so this is a big concern for me. I really would love gm to step up to the plate and honor their product. I feel taken advantage of. I have seen websites with complaint after complaint with the Trailblazer's electrical problems. We need a voice. Someone who has the power or pull to force chevy to recall the electrical issues regarding their workmanship or the quality of their product. Updated 8/17/12.

Vehicle was on and being driven on the highway/freeway when it shut off and lost power. Vehicle came a stop and restarted vehicle and it did not start immediately after a few attempts it started as if nothing happened and I drove it home. Luckily I arrived home and entered my driveway and it shut off again and has not been able to be restarted since. I have not gotten any resolution or help from a Chevrolet company and they can not say what it possibly could be. There are Trailblazer forums online that state the same by other owner who are experiencing the same. Please help as I and my kids could have been hurt or killed.

5 months after I purchased my 2003 chevy Trailblazer I went out to start the car and it would not start. I took the car to the dealer the first time for this problem and various others and was told they could not replicate the problem. I replaced the battery and the car worked for approximately another 5 months and the same occurred. On both occasions the key was locked in the ignition and attempts at jump starting the vehicle failed multiple times. Since the second time happened this morning I have yet to take it to the dealer. This car also has various other electrical problems sometimes the radio goes blank and gets stuck on one station as well as getting extremely hot (was told they could not replicate all of the problems but reprogrammed the radio so it would not get as hot). The dvd player just stops working (was told they could not replicate the problem). The blower motor for the rear air works sometimes and other times it doesn't (this was apparently fixed once already). The reverse lights stay on when the car is in drive (just happened last weekend). Shall I go on?.
