NHTSA Complaint #10482746 — 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT

THE DRIVER'S DOOR WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK HAS BEEN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE LAST 1 1/2 YRS. THIS LAST MARCH, THE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING . THEN THE DOOR LOCK FOLLOWED AND THEN THE ENTIRE DOOR. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ANY ASPECT OF THE CAR WITH THAT DOOR. I MAKES A BUZZ-ZAPPING SOUND. I CANNOT LOCK THE WINDOWS AT ALL IN THE BACK, SO NOW MY YOUNG CHILDREN PLAY WITH THE WINDOWS AND HANG OUT THEM. THE DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOCK WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT INTO GEAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN. SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN 10 MINUTES INTO A TRIP , SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. IN THE LAST MONTH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING ALSO. MY SONS ARE NOW COMPLAINING OF HEARING A BUZZ, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK DOORS. I ASSUME IT IS THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO LOCK THE DOORS SINCE WE ARE DRIVING BUT IT IS UNABLE TO. THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR ALSO HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE ELECTRICAL OR THE DOOR. IT WILL CHANGE ITS POSITIONING ALL BY ITSELF . I ALWAYS HAVE TO READJUST IT MANUALLY JUST TO FIND IT POINTING AT THE GROUND LATER ON. I TOOK IT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE OF WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WHERE I LIMY LIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE APART FROM THE OBVIOUS ELECTRICAL ZAPPING THAT CAN BE HEARD, BUT IT IS ALSO FOR CHILDREN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I AM UNEMPLOYED AND IT IS GOING TO COST OVER $150 FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT, AND HE SAID THERE IS NO RECALL SO TO FIX IT, I WILL HAVE TO PAY. THERE IS CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO SALT AIR HERE IN FLORIDA. MY KIDS LIVES ARE AT STAKE. I DO NOT CARE WHERE I LIVE, THIS IS THERE SAFETY. WHAT IF THEY OPEN THE WINDOW AND GET HURT BECAUSE I CANNOT LOCK THE WINDOW BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR DOOR.THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE NATION WIDE AND IT NEEDS TO RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURTS. *TR
