2 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 09/07/2023

The headlamps have quit working when driving at night but will come back on later. This has happened several times. I found gm recall number 14291 that is supposed to include 2006 chevy Trailblazers and pertains to this problem. The local dealership told us that our vehicle has a VIN number that is not covered. It would seem that all model 2006 chevy Trailblazers would use the same hdm modules in them when they were built. Is ours covered?.

9 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 07/20/2021

While driving home at approximately 9:30pm, my eighteen year old daughter experienced the headlights failing to come on after dark with the automatic headlight-on feature. She turned on the headlights manually, and the low beams still were not working, but all driving lights and high beam headlights were working. I assumed that the bulbs were burned out, so replaced both the driver and passenger side bulbs. The low beam headlights still failed to come on either automatically or manually. I googled the problem, and multiple people have reported this exact same problem, and some stated that there was a recall due to this problem. I am unable to find either a recall or a service bulletin for this issue.

Failure Date: 08/04/2020

When it is dark outside and you put the vehicle in reverse, the lights next to the back up camera causes the screen inside the car to show bright white. There is no way to shut the screen off when in reverse. I have turned the brightness all the way down but it is still very bright making it impossible to see your surroundings safely. I have almost hit a tree and drove into a ditch trying to reverse at dark. This is very dangerous and needs to be fixed. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
