Wiper Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer - part 1

On 5 separate occasions the windshield wipers have stopped working while in use. The wipers returned to the home position and would not turn back on. Each time I had to get safely to the side of the road and stop shut the car off while travelling at highway speeds. After 10-15 minutes the wipers began working until the next incident. My safety as well as others on the road I was travelling were put at risk as I was not able to see out of the front windshield. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than me. This is the fifth time this condition has presented itself and there were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to each occurrence.

Wiper system failed. No function of front wipers. Issue occurred on freeway, in heavy rain conditions, with fast moving traffic surrounding. Visibility with the inability to clear the windshield was at a minimum or not possible. Required pulling over, could have easily caused collision with no forward vision. Vehicle is currently at a dealership for evaluation. Previously brought into dealership, “no problem found” reported by the dealership mechanics. Three separate occurrences of this issue. No other warnings or lights associated.

Front wipers spray only on one side, the working side changes, sometimes it only squirts on one side, sometimes it sprays over top the roof of the car, sometimes it doesn't work at all. Reservoir is full, rear window spray nozzles always work properly. I'm unable to wash away debris, in winter with snowy roads it can leave salty/muddy windows. Sap from the trees & pollen create poor visibility. No warning lights are on, never have been. This happened without incident.

My headlights turn off bybthemselves while driving, other times they wont turn off at all after car is turned off even while in park, and other times they turn on while switched to off position randomly in the middle of te night resulting in a dead battery come morning. My driver window no longer works as well as driver power locks. Happening since 2020 random at first now permentant removal of fuse switch in order to shut off lights and the fuse switch is hot to the touch upon removal.

Several months ago, I was at a fast food drive up window. I had my drivers side window down while paying for my food and receiving my food. It was down pouring and the inside of my door got pretty wet. I wiped off the rain as best as I could but everything was soaked. The very next day the drivers side door controls started to go haywire. The window button stopped working and my door locks only worked occasionally until they stopped working all together. My side mirrors can no longer be adjusted from the drivers seat. I have to get out of the vehicle and manually adjust both driver and passenger side mirrors. I'm not sure if there is a short in the wiring from the rain or just what is going on. I asked a parts dealer to see how much it would cost to replace the drivers side door controls module and he was of no help except to say its a recall part because of moisture. I've looked this up and I see there was a recall but my VIN isn't on the recall list. I don't understand why my vehicle is excluded considering this appears to be exactly what this incident generated the recall in the first place. I further looked into the investigation you had on the Trailblazer's outside of the salt belt states having the same issues with the moisture and issues that arise from the damaged door controls. I'm not sure if I would be considered in the expanded recall but I'm certain I should be as this is exactly why my drivers side door controls failed. I feel this is a huge safety issue as I don't know if there is a electrical/wiring short and not being able to adjust the side mirrors is an impairment. There was no warning to let me know anything was wrong. The system just went out just that fast. Please advise me how to proceed with my next steps to get this resolved. Also, my low beams went completely out the other day and replacing the bulbs didn't fix that issue. I do have a recall scheduled for January to get the headlights fixed and I'd like them to fix both issues. Thank you.

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#.

The abs light has come on and then it would work sometimes and not other times. Now it never works. Now that its winter I'm sliding at stop signs that aren't even that slippery. The actuators in the heating and cooling are not working properly. All summer I had heat blowing all the time and suddenly there would be nothing. Now it's cold air all the time. Makes my windows fog up and not defrost. I have done the reset procedure and hear things moving but it doesn't fix it. The blower in the ball seat and third row is hit or miss for even working at all.

Windshield wiper working incorrectly. On any of the low wipes, it might wipe and it might not. On high it will work sometimes and sometimes it works like it is on low (intermittent) and slow, and sometimes it acts like it's not going to work at all. My vehicle was in motion when this happened and now it is on-going. Appointment this wed. , 10/26/16 to have it looked at and fixed. I'm afraid I will get caught in the rain when I really need them and I might have wipers and I might not.

My wife and I bought a used 2006 chevy trail blazer. After two months the windshield wipers would turn on even though the switch was off. The windshield wiper fluid pump would turn on and spray fluid on the windshield which greatly reduced visibility. After a week I took the vehicle to my local garage. They replaced the multi-function switch. This didn't fix the issue, so they replaced the wiper assembly. This fixed the issue for about three weeks and now I am going to have to take my vehicle back and have the assembly replaced again. This happens at random traveling down the roadway at random speeds. This issue needs to be addressed before someone is killed. Not after a reported death!.

The issue is with the windshield wipers. They intermittently turn on and off, spraying washer fluid, regardless of the switch setting. The wipers will come on and spray washer fluid within the first minute of starting the vehicle, and will turn themselves off when in use, or go into a continuous spray mode when being used, causing visibility to be nonexistent. When the fuse was pulled to prevent further scratching to the windshield for a temporary reprieve, the wipers continued to go, with no change. The vehicle currently has less than 135,000 miles. The issue first started the first week of November 2015 and has progressed since then. It began with one swipe of the wipers just after the vehicle was started and has turned into an issue during all driving conditions.
