NHTSA Complaint #10733846 — 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

ON 7/9/15 I BROUGHT MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER (PURCHASED USED IN OCTOBER OF 2013) TO MY MECHANIC AT MIDAS MUFFLER IN BANGOR DUE TO AN ISSUE I WAS HAVING FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS REGARDING THE ELECTRIC WINDOW/DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEREAS I HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENTLY UNABLE TO ROLL MY WINDOWS UP OR DOWN AND I HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN MY VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO GET OUT THREE TIMES. THEY REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND FOUND THAT WATER HAD BEEN LEAKING INTO THE DOOR AND CAUSED CORROSION TO THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THESE FUNCTIONS. I WAS TOLD THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY HAD CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD THEM THAT THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FULFILLED IN AUGUST OF 2013. ON 7/13/15, I CALLED GM TO INQUIRE REGARDING THIS RECALL SINCE WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, IT STATED THAT "PARTS FOR THE REMEDY ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE." I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTER STATING THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IT IS, IN MY OPINION, THAT THE "FIX" THAT WAS DONE IN AUGUST 2013 DID NOT "FIX" THE ISSUE AND THIS HAS CAUSED THE SAME PROBLEM TO REOCCUR. GM TOLD ME THAT THE FIX WOULD BE MY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE RECALL NOTICE ON YOUR WEBSITE ALSO STATES, "VEHICLES WHOSE MODULES WERE MODIFIED BUT NOT REPLACED AS A PART OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL REMEDY MUST HAVE THEIR VEHICLES REMEDIED AGAIN UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN." I AM NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT THE MODULE WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2013 AS I DID NOT OWN THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME, HOWEVER, I DO FEEL THAT THE REMEDY THAT WAS DONE ON THAT DATE DID NOT FIX THE LEAKAGE ISSUE AND THEREFORE GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE MODULE NOW AND ALSO FIXING THE LEAKAGE ISSUE SO THIS DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN AND UNABLE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE THREE TIMES ALREADY, AND ALSO, ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL RECALL, THIS CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD
