Consumer Description

I PARKED MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN MY DRIVEWAY SUNDAY 6/21/2015. I RECEIVED A CALL AN HOUR LATER FROM MY NEIGHBOR THAT MY LIGHTS WAS STILL ON. I ALWAYS HAVE MY LIGHTS SET THAT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THEY GO OFF AUTOMATICALLY. TRIED TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS WITH NO LUCK. I SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. FOUND THE FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE BAY AND NOTICED THAT THE HDM MODULE #45 WAS COMPLETELY MELTED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUTO SHOP, NOT ONLY DID THEY FIND THAT THE HDM MODULE #45 WAS MELTED, IT HAD RUINED THE MAIN FUSE CIRCUIT BOARD FROM THE HEAT. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAYLIGHT AND NOT AT NIGHT, BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD HEADLIGHTS VERY LONG WITH THIS MODULE BEING MELTED. ALSO THIS COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE BAY WITH THE AMOUNT OF HEAT THAT WAS COMING OFF OF THE MELTED HDM MODULE. THIS I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IN THE TRAILBLAZERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.
