Takata recall I have a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer and my SUV was parked in the yard and I went to go to the store and opened my door and found the truck was full of smoke! my driver seat had caught on fire just sitting there. Not even cranked! it destroyed the seat and the top of the SUV and the roof melted all over the truck.
I pulled into my garage and shut my truck off but my doors wouldn't unlock. Then it started making funny ticking sounds and all my lights inside started flicking and my windows all rolled up and wouldn't go back down so I could get out. After about 20 minutes or so I turned it back on and was finally able to get my door unlocked to get out. Now when I touch anything my other windows go up and my seat starts to move on its own. My driver's window is stuck up and won't come back down. I have 5 kids and can not chance something happening and us not being able to get out safely.

After making a few errands, I parked my 2004 chevy Trailblazer ext in my driveway around noon. I immediately went inside my house. Around 4:30 pm I went to get in my truck and found the drivers seat had been on fire. The entire seat and ceiling was destroyed. The ceiling's melted plastic/materials were all over everything. Everything was cool to the touch at this time. There is fire damage throughout the entire inside of the Trailblazer. Everything inside is covered with heavy black soot or pieces of melted plastic. You can't see through the windows. I had my husband call 911. Police & fire responded. They disconnected the battery. The truck is a total loss. I am the original owner. The fire marshall says it started in one of the motors in the driver's seat. I do not have heated seats. He also stated that we were fortunate that there was no open window to help fuel the fire and that vehicle was parked without occupants when this occurred.
This issue started when the back hatch of the Trailblazer would not lock or open and the rear wiper would not work. After dealing with this for a few months the doors, windows and driver side seat stopped working. Also, the doors would not lock/unlock with the keyless entry. After some research, I changed the lgm fuse (it was blown). Once the fuse was changed everything started working except the back hatch. I manually locked the back hatch and closed it. Once the hatch was closed all of the doors locked and I could not open the truck. I manually used the key and opened the driver side door. When I opened the door I could hear the electrical wires burning in the door panel and throughout the truck. The truck was filled with smoke and smelt of burnt plastic. Luckily I was not inside the truck when the fire started because none of the unlock or window buttons worked. I would have been stuck inside of a burning truck. I unplugged the negative charge of the battery and put the fire out. Once the fire was out I tried starting the truck and it would not start. I went through all of the gears with the truck off, I pulled up the e-brake and the truck started. Once I shut the truck back off it would not start again.
The first problem I had with my 2005 Trailblazer was right after I purchased it. There was a problem when you tried to pump gas it would keep kicking the pump off. I took it to the dealership from which I had bought it. They worked on it said it was fixed, but it would do it at certain pumps. Then I had a problem with he passenger seat's sidepiece popped off and they fixed that but now the driver's side has done the same along with the lumbar support quit working. Then the speedometer went crazy, it was all over the place and made a real bad noise. The dealership quoted off it would be over $400. 00 to fix it. Then the gas gauge popped up the "dummy light" as we call it when gas is getting low. The gauge quit registering the amount of gas in the tank. Then during the heat of summer the front fan quit working, the air conditioner worked and the other fans worked. I got a letter about the gas sensor and how I would have to pay half of it. That is a lot of money not counting the collision insurance and taxes and other expenses I have paid. They should be glad to help the working people who have always bought Chevrolets. I will say this if they do not uphold some kind of quality on this high end automobile the next car I buy will not be an american because they won't stand by their products. It is just inappropriate that there have been a lot of the same complaints as I have about my car. I called the number on the paper that came out about the gas sensor and spoke with a nice lady named quin or queen, she set it up for me to bring my car in for diagnostic check. I should know what all is damaged and in need of repair and how much will come out of my pocket.

Suddenly the left side of the seat activated to a higher level and the right side failed to respond.

While driving the 2005 chevy Trailblazer, my wife smelled smoke. She pulled into a parking lot and opened the door - and the driver's seat proceeded to billow smoke. The police and fire departments responded - the seat was ripped out of the vehicle and the vehicle and seat were extinguished with foam - the vehicle had a powered driver's seat but not heated seats. The vehicle is currently in an auto body shop.
The side control panel for the driver's seat has come loose and has be come a concern that it may fall off completely and onto my legs as I'm driving. I weight about 145 and don't believe this should be happening to a vehicle that is only 3 years old.
Bought vehicle 8/10/05. Fifteen months later on 1/29/07, I had to replace the front seat adjuster actuator assembly on the driver side. The safety hazard is that I had to drive 3 weeks with pillows propped behind me & using my tip-toes on the gas and brake peddles until the part was replaced. The seat stopped working a few months ago and it took a week to get an appointment at the dealer. That week I had to drive with pillows propped behind me & using my tip-toes on the gas and brake peddles on the interstate to get to work. When they finally got it in the shop, there was nothing wrong with it. This morning getting ready to go to work, my seat did not work again. I drove to work using tip-toes and pillows. When I was leaving work, the seat worked. Having to rely on pillows and tip-toes because of an unreliable driver side front seat adjuster actuator assembly is an extreme safety hazard to myself and everyone around me.
Seat moves while driving, we have a occasional problem with the electric seat position. While driving and in gear the seats will relocate. My wife has the seat mostly forward and while driving the seat moves backward. One time she could not step on the break to avoid hitting the car in front. She nearly crashed into the car. This has happened several times. Gm is not willing to investigate. One person said to tell the dealership when we crash because of this. Also the driver sided mirror will at times change position while driving with it set in the neutral position but not associated with the seat movement.
New 2005 chevy Trailblazer. The selt belt is built into the seat itself. When putting on the seat belt, it crosses over my neck and across the throat. Twice the seat belt has locked when over the neck and throat about choked me. The dealer, the service manager all agree that this is a safety issue, as the seat belt laying over my neck could in an accident break it. Called gm does not have any resoltion to the issue or offered any options. The dealer is trying to work this out and not getting any help from gm. Both the dealer and myself are getting the run around on this. Due to the safety issue with the seat belt I am concerned about driving the car. I am not sure what to do, gm or chevy is not taking the dealer or myself that this is a serious safety issue. Been going on for over 3 weeks, without help. No one wants to take responsibility or provide help.
Drivers seat will move to the "exit posistion" while driving. The last time this happened the driver was pulled away from the brake pedal while making a right hand turn and drove off the road. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership several time for repair with no luck.
Driver seat does not align properly with steering wheel. The seat belt could cut into the driver's neck.
When getting inside of the vehicle, the consumer noticed that the steering wheel was placed towards the left of the vehicle and not in the center of the driver's side seat. The consumer contacted the dealership, however, the manufacturer had not contacted the consumer. The consumer suggested there was a difference in the leather versus fabric. The manufacturer confirmed that the alignment between the steering wheel and the drivers seat was not straight.
The driver seat didn't align with the steering wheel. The consumer believed it was a manufacturer defect.
