WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS JUST WENT OUT ALMOST WENT OFF ROAD BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON A SLIGHT TURN TO THE RIGHT.

THEY CAME BACK ON AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF SITTING WHILE LOOKING UNDER HOOD AND EVERYWHERE ELSE TRYING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW WITHIN A TWO WEEK TIME FRAME, VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES I WAS IN MOTION AT APPROX. 25 TO 35 MPH. GET IT OVER TO PUT IN PARK AND IT DOES START UP SO FAR.

WE WERE TRAVELING FROM SPOKANE, WA TO PORTLAND, OR, WHEN WE GOT TO RICHLAND, WA THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE STOPPED AND SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND GAVE US A CODE FOR A FAULTY PEDAL SENSOR. WE ERASED THE CODE AND TURNED THE TRAILBLAZER ON AND IT CAME BACK ON IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WE READ ONLINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRAILBLAZER SS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUES AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SENSOR AND THEY ARE GETTING THEIRS REPLACED. I TALKED TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET AND CAMP CHEVROLET HERE IN SPOKANE, WA AND THEY BOTH HAVE HEARD OF THE RECALL AND THE ISSUE BUT SINCE IT WON'T SHOW UP UNDER MY VIN NUMBER THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL. THEY WON'T 100 TO 150 TO DIAGNOSE WHEN IT TOOK ME 5 SECONDS AND THEY WANT US TO PAY ABOUT 600+ DOLLARS FOR AN REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE FREE. I READ ABOUT THE SENSOR AND OUR TRUCK IS DOING EVERYTHING IT SAYS IT WILL DO. WHEN YOU ARE AT A LIGHT AND GO TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL IT BOGGS DOWN LIKE ABOUT TO DIE THEN LUNGES FORWARD AND SHIFTING HARD BETWEEN GEAR 1 OR 2. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS AND HELP US GET THE DEALERSHIP TO WORK WITH US. IF WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN ANY MOMENT. THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER DARK MY LOW NEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS LOOKING FOR AN AIR CONDITIONER PART ONLINE AND STUMBLED ACROSS THE RECALL. RECALL NUMBER 14V755000. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. IT OS NOW JUNE OF 2015, THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO HAVEREMEDY. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET SOMETHING DONE WITH MY VEHICLE...A REFUND?? A TEMPORARY FIX?? ANYTHING AT ALL?

MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT HEATED SEAT SHORT CIRCUITED AND LOOKS LIKE IT CAUGHT ON FIRE BRIEFLY. MY HEAD LAMP MODULE WENT BAD AND IS RECALLED BUT NO REMEDY HAS BEEN SOLVED, DEALERSHIP REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE BUT I CANNOT GET REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR DUE TO REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. RECALL DATE WAS NOV 25TH 2015 AM I SUPPOSE TO DRIVE WITHOUT LIGHTS FOR 13 MONTHS. SINCE I TOOK IT TOO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT WHY CANT I GET MY MONEY? PICTURE IS FROM THE INTERNET BUT IS ACTUALLY THE SAME AS MINE. I DO HAVE THE DEFECTED SEAT ELEMENT AT MY HOME.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AGO FROM A DEALER IN ST AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA. THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING, I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY HELP FROM THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE EVEN TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROBLEMS/ RECALLS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL, EVEN WHEN AT IDLE IT WILL SHUT OFF, WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 60. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK SHUT DOWN, THOUGHT MY FOOT HAD GOT OFF THE PEDDLE BUT WAS STILL ON THE GAS. PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PRAYED I WASN'T GOING TO GET SMASHED BY TRAFFIC. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AND THE SECOND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD STOP THE CAR PUT IT IN PARK. AND TRIED TO START IT AND ALL IT DID WAS CRANK AND NOT TURN OVER LIKE I WAS OUT OF GAS. DID RESEARCH ON CONDITIONS AND IT CAME BACK DEFAULT IGNITION SWITCH. THIS HAS JUST BEEN A NIGHTMARE. ONLY TO ARRIVE AT CHEVY. AND LOOK MY VIN NUMBER UP AND SAID YOUR VIN DOESN'T PULL UP ANY RECALLS? HUN YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME RIGHT. CLEARLY I THOUGHT RECALLS FROM A CERTAIN YR TO A ENDING YEAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE HANDLED? I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT PLEASE HELP FIX THIS HORRIBLE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC SITUATION. *TR

AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE WITH 12 GALLONS OF GAS, (FILLING IT UP FROM HALF A TANK) THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE OUT OF FUEL / LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE IN TRAFFIC DRIVING IT HOME, BUT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AS TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THE TIME. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS EVERY 50K MILES "GIVE OR TAKE" AND THAT I NEED TO HAVE MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND FUEL PUMP REPLACED. IN LOOKING ONLINE, I FIND THAT THIS IS INDEED A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS RESULTED IN CRASHES AND OTHER SAFETY ISSUES AND HAS BEEN IGNORED BY GM AND THE NHTSA FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW DESPITE THE CONSTANTLY GROWING NUMBER OF CLAIMS. THE DEALER STATED IT WOULD COST "SOMEWHERE AROUND $900" TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I TOLD THEM WHAT I THOUGHT OF THAT, BOUGHT THE DELPHI REPLACEMENT UNIT MYSELF FOR $200 AND MADE THE REPAIRS ON MY OWN. HOWEVER GM IS GOING TO BE GETTING A BILL FOR THIS FROM MY LAWYERS. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATING EMPTY AFTER A FILL UP ALTHOUGH ITS NOT... I HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I SPENT $900.00 (AT THE TIME) ON AN ACDELCO FUEL SENDING UNIT AND REPLACED THE PART... IT WORKED FOR SOMETIME, HOWEVER, HERE WE ARE TWO YEARS LATER AND ITS HAPPENING AGAIN...I DON'T HAVE $900.00 TO REPLACE THE PART AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY (LUCKILY IT WASN'T TO BUSY, BUT BUSY ENOUGH AT THE TIME OF 9:30AM IN THE MORNING ON A MONDAY) DOING ABOUT 55MPH, GIVE OR TAKE, AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT WOULD NOT START. LUCKILY FOR ME, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE COOPERATION OF A STATE TROOPER TO SIT WITH ME UNTIL SOMEONE COULD BRING ME GAS. SURE ENOUGH IT WAS A GAS ISSUE DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP ONCE I PUT A FEW GALLONS IN THE TRUCK.. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE LIGHT BESIDE IT STAY ON 24/7. I HAVE HAD IT AT MY MECHANIC WHO HAS SENT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AND HAVE REPLACED ALL PARTS BUT THE COMPUTER TO MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND NOT KNOW IF THAT IS THE FIX. MY HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER AND SOME DAYS TURN OFF WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT WHEN I GIVE MY VIN THE DEALER TELLS ME I HAVE ZERO RECALLS. THEY DO THIS WHEN SITTING STILL, DRIVING SLOW OR EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CARS THINKING I AM FLASHING THEM SOME TIMES WHEN I AM NOT. IF I ROLL MY WINDOWS UP THEY DIM. I ALSO WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN MY CAR STALLED ON ME. WHEN I COASTED DOWN THE HILL TO STOP, THE CAR STARTED. MY MECHANIC PUT IT ON COMPUTER BUT THE CODE WAS AN "UNEXPLAINED" REASON, BASICALLY NO ONE KNOW WHY OR IF MY CAR WILL DO IT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP OVER THE HEADLIGHTS BUT IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND THEY DID NOT SEE IT SO SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. I AM SO OVER MY CAR, I AM TO THE POINT I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. I HAVE SEEN 3 RECALLS IN THE NEWS THAT MATCH MY YEAR AND MAKE, BUT MY "VIN" SAYS OTHERWISE. I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. MY COMPUTER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR 3 YEARS NOW, HEADLIGHTS HAVE DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2008, AND IT STALLED BEGINNING OF SPRING 2015. I JUST WANT A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE!

TAKATA RECALL IF FLUID, SUCH AS MELTED SNOW CONTAINING ROAD SALT, ENTERS THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, IT MAY CAUSE CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. A SHORT MAY CAUSE THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY OR MAY STOP WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING A TOTAL LOSS ON MARCH 1 OF 2015

SHORTLY AFTER HAVING THE POWER CONTROL MODULE REPLACED & REPROGRAMMED THROUGH A CERTIFIED SHOP, THE DAYTIME RUNNERS/LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BEGAN WORKING/FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. WE NOTICED THE DAYTIME RUNNER LIGHTS WOULD STOP WORKING/TURN OFF AND ONLY SOMETIMES TURN BACK ON. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING TO THE STORE AND WE HAD TO USE THE BRIGHTS THE REST OF THE WAY THERE AND WHOLE WAY BACK HOME.

THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN MY DAD OPENED THE HOOD THERE WAS AN AROMA OF BURNING WIRE. MY DAD REMOVED THE RUBBER CAP FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT AND FOUND THE PLASTIC ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TO THE LOW BEAM BULB WAS BURNT AND CHARRED. MY DAD REMOVED THE CONNECTOR IN ORDER TO AVOID A FIRE. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A CURRENT RECALL FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. I CONTACTED A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIR COULD RUN HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

I AM HAVING THIS ISSUE, FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW, THE KEY GETS LOCKED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, WILL NOT TURN OFF, IT DRAIN THE BATTERY THE FIRST DAY, NOW I HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY, THEN WHEN IT FINALLY LOCKED IT DID NOT WANT TO START, I COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST TWO DAYS, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC RIGHT NOW. *TR

THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V519000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

4WD SWITCH NO LONGER LIT UP TO SHOW WHAT IT WAS IN (4 OPTIONS: 2WD, AUTO, 4H, 4L). CONTROL MODULE CHANGED AND NOW STABILITY CONTROL IS PERMANENTLY LIT UP AS WELL AS ORIGINAL PROBLEM EXISTS. OTHER THAN TO CONTINUE TO CHANGE PART AFTER PART AFTER PART AND SINK THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO AN UNDIAGNOSIBLE PROBLEM THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN ANSWER. MEANTIME THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT OUT OF STATE. I WAS TRAVELING DURING THE EVENING HOURS TO TRY TO AVOID HEAVY TRAFFIC. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DIM LIGHTS AND COULD ONLY PROCEED USING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS. THE NEXT THING I REALIZE IS THAT I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I THEN PROCEEDED TO SLIDE DOWN AN EMBANKMENT APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET.

THE PROBLEM STARTED ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21, 2015; I STARTED MY CAR UP TO LET IT WARM UP WHILE I DUSTED OFF THE SNOW. I NOTICE MY HEATED SEATS WERE NOT WORKING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AS SOON AS I RESTARTED IT THE CAR BEGAN TO BACKFIRE AND STALE. IT WOULD START BUT THEN STALE OUT. I HAD TO GET THE TRUCKED TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC. I PICK UP MY TRUCK THAT EVENING AND IT RAN FINE. THE NEXT MORNING THURSDAY JANUARY 22, I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. HOWEVER, EVERY STOP I CAME TO THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND THEN WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AT THE NEXT STOP. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL I WAS DRIVE TO THE MECHANIC. AGAIN THAT EVENING I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. FRIDAY JANUARY 23, I WAS DRIVING MY 7 YEAR OLD TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC. HE KEPT MY CAR FOR 4 DAY. I FINALLY PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY JANUARY 24 AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID HE IS STUMPED. IT DROVE GREAT AFTER PICKING IT UP. THEN THIS MORNING JANUARY 25, AS I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, MY CAR SHUT OFF 3 TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN TWO HILLS. THEN IT STALED 2 MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS A RED LIGHTS. I NEARLY MISSED TWO ACCIDENTS. BY DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CALL THE LOCAL CHEVY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS AN KNOWN PROBLEM. I CALLED CHEVY DIRECTLY AND THEY TOO ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I EVEN FOUND COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY SITE. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM GETS FIXED. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY DRIVERS DOOR FOR A PART THAT CATCHES FIRE, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE TRUCK JUST SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN MOTION. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. *TR
