NHTSA Complaint #10490784 — 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY, LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THE DOOR LOCKS ALSO OPERATE WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND THE VEHICLE IS OFF. THERE IS A BUZZING SOUND IN THE DOOR AND THE LOCKS HAVE COMPLETELY DRAINED A RATHER NEW BATTERY. A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED, BUT THE BUZZING AND THE INTERMITTENT OPERATION OF THE DOOR LOCKS CONTINUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT GM TELLS ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VIN. DURING A CALL TO GM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "RATHER LARGE RECALL" PENDING THAT WOULD BE FINALIZED THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY. I WAS ADVISED BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND GM WOULD REIMBURSE MY COST "IF IT WAS INVOLVED IN A RECALL". IN A SUBSEQUENT CALL TO GM, THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH SAID THERE WAS NO PENDING RECALL FOR THIS VIN AT THIS TIME. BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEMS IN OTHER GM TRAILBLAZER MODELS, I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER I CONTACTED NOT TO PARK IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE DUE TO A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE DOOR MODULE. *TR
