About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Low beam headlight connection shorts out and burns, and heater and A/C controls don't work anymore when you try to turn on heat or A/C kills engine. I have already replaced the liftgate module, that fixed the problem of not being able to lock the vehicle and sometimes starting it. This all started at about 92,000 miles. Estimated repair cost for heat and A/C around $600.

I purchased this vehicle in Feb 2008. I opened the hatch for the first time and when I lifted the hatch, I began to hear a lot of breaking and bolts flying. I got it to close securely and didn't have any problems. Then one day, I was driving my truck and the back hatch began to shake. I continue to drive the vehicle. After driving for another few minutes the hatch began to fall backward. I never reach the ground, it was held on by the lights that connect the top light. I went to a dealer that repaired it supposedly. A few days later it done the same thing. I attempted to get it repair a second time. It wasn't successful either. This time I couldn't get it closed. I was told it was a problem amongst a few Trailblazer by my insurance company. Nothing has been done as of yet. The only solution that I was told that may help the problem is paying $1,100 to buy another. According to a local dealer the window doesn't belong in the vehicle. The whole set up is not the way it should be set up. My vehicle has a bracket holding the window up but there isn't a bracket on any website.

While my vehicle was parked, the rear hatch window self exploded. It was witnessed by many General Motors employees. Checking on the web, I found that this is more common than expected. Happens mostly in Chevy Trailblazers and Ford escapes.
