What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the contact noticed that the driver side headlight failed. The contact replaced the bulb three different times but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostics where the mechanic advised that the headlight wires were melted and the headlight assembly would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.
Fuel gauge failure. Dashboard needle gauge sitting at the 5 o'clock position and not responsive. Have not taken it in for repair yet. Just happened. This is the second GM truck I've owned where the fuel gauge has broken. The other was a '97 jimmy.
