What owners wrote
Drivers door control panel burned causing failure of door locks,windows,etc. Gas gauge continually showed incorrect amounts of fuel causing running out of fuel. Replaced the part and it happened again.chevrolet took no blame.recently chevy notified all owners that there is a problem that they will fix up to 1/2 of the actual cost.(my share will be $218 for their mistake) back tail lights have blown out over and over again since purchase. Finally replaced entire units on my own andit continued to happen.
The low beam lights flicker and the go out when driving. This is caused when the #46 hdm relay/module overheats. Other trailblazers have been recalled for the same issue but not mine. The is a major known safety issue.
