“My 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer head lights go off when I'm driving down the road. They do come back on after I stop for a minute or two. I can't drive my vehicle at night because of this issue. I looked up my Trailblazer using my VIN number and it said there were no recalls on my vehicle. I've had other issues with my vehicle to. :(”
NHTSA complaint #11114442, filed 2018-07, 164,204 miles“While night driving in the city or highway the headlights just die. Leaving the car with no lights and in total darkness. Unfortunately I have to use high beams to continue my trip. Using the high beams causes blinding of the oncoming traffic until I can safely reach my destination. The light stay out on average about half an hour.”
NHTSA complaint #10865588, filed 2016-05, 140,000 miles“Headlamps have gone off and/or turned back on while driving or starting up. High beams work. This problem was supposed to have been repaired in the last recall. My local dealer replaced the module causing the trouble. Now the same problem is happening again. This is happening off and on haphazardly. Can't depend on having lights when I want to go out at night. I want this fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10917453, filed 2016-10, 110,942 miles“Four years ago this month while driving at night and in the rain our headlights went out. We could only use our high beams. Took it to the dealership the next week and was charged $282.81 to fix. Have been hearing for years about this problem with trailblazers but never a recall. This is ridiculous.”
NHTSA complaint #10984768, filed 2017-05, 84,362 miles“I just bought this vehicle. The headlights won't come on the low beams. I pulled the blinker handle back for high beams to come on. I hold it back while I mess with headlight switch finally low beams comes on and I can push blinker handle forward to engage high beams to stay on.”
