Consumer Description
WHILE ON VACATION IN NY I WENT TO MOVE MY TRAILBLAZER TO BE ABLE TO PACK UP FOR THE TRIP HOME AND WHEN MOVING IT I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF ELECTRICAL FIRE AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE AREA AROUND THE DRIVERS DOOR MASTER WINDOW SWITCH. I QUICKLY TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND PULLED THE SWITCH PLATE OUT OF THE DOOR BUT IT WAS TO LATE. THE DAMAGE HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. THE SWITCH HAD SHORTED AND MELTED ALL OF THE RIBBON CABLE IN THE SWITCH AND RENDERED IT INOPERABLE. THERE WAS A SLIGHT MISTY RAIN WHEN ALL OF THIS OCCURRED, I AM JUST GLAD IT HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED AND TALKED WITH CHEVY AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP AND THEN STATED THAT IT WAS VIN SPECIFIC. SO WHICH IS IT NO RECALL OR VIN SPECIFIC? *TR
