UPON ENTERING VEHICLE TO LEAVE A PARKING LOT AT NIGHT, DISCOVERED THE HEADLIGHTS WOULDN'T WORK (STILL NOT WORKING). THE FUSES ARE NOT OUT. TRIED REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH BOX, BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM SO PUT THE ORIGINAL BACK ON THE VEHICLE. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE.

I WAS TRYING TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS FOR MY WIFE. THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN AT FIRST. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WINDOW WAS NOT LOCK AND IT WASN'T. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE WINDOW FINALLY ROLLED. DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A WEDDING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH, AND MY HEADLAMPS FAILED. EVERYTHING WENT COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A PANIC, I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR SAFETY, BLINDING ONCOMING DRIVERS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TESTED MY FOG LIGHTS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WORKED THEN. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 10-15 OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SAME OCCURRENCE. I WAS POSITIVE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL, BUT WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, SINCE THE ISSUE ON THE RECALL IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THAT I AM...

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE GENERAL MOTORS (GM) IS RECALL THAT INVOLVES THE DDM ON MY TRAILBLAZER. GM SAYS ITS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL BUT THEY HAVE 1 ALREADY CHANGED IT UNDER WARRANTY ON 3/29/2013 (RECALL) AND AGAIN AT 6/07/2013 AND ITS AGAIN FAILING WHY ARE THEY NOT RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART?? *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING SPORADICALLY. WOULD DROP TO EMPTY FOR A WHILE THEN COME BACK UP AFTER DRIVING A DISTANCE.

I AM KEEPING TRACK OF MILES PER TANK AND REFILLING AT 200 MILES BUT THE CEL WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE MAY BE ANOTHER, MORE SERIOUS, ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR
