2006 Trailblazer was parked not running. When I opened the door there was a burning plastic smell and smoke coming from the drivers door. When I pulled the door window switch panel out, the side of it was melted and had melted part of the door panel, window, door lock, and window lock button don't work. I have to manually lock the drivers door, because the remote doesn't work on that door. Looked up recalls and was surprised when it wasn't on your website. Multiple complaints all over the internet about this same issue. Updated 08/21/12

The fuel gauge read 3/4 of a tank so we did not stop to get gas, thinking we had enough to get home. 3min later we ran out on the hwy with 4 children in the car 2 that are under the age of 2.

The entire dash cluster shut down, the windshield wipers came on by themselves, the side mirrors started moving, and all the lights came on, the vent blowers stopped and the windows rolled up on their own. After 30 minutes, the dash cluster stared functioning again, and the mirrors stopped moving, but the driver side door panel was not working as the vent blowers did not come back on. The consumer was quoted $200 just to take the driver's side door panel off and look at it. Updated 08/29/12

The problems just began with my car with the gas gauge working intermittently and with in 2 weeks I had to change the drivers side taillight which was not only burned out but the housing was melted to the bulb. Next within a weeks time I was in the drive thru getting food and all the gauges just flashed and the car died. Upon trying to restart it several times the lights flashed off and on; the doors locked and unlocked themselves and their was not even enough power to call onstar. Check fuses found no problems. Still waiting diagnosis and getting it fixed.

The drivers side window control panel would not work for any of the windows. The vehicle was not running. I checked the fuse and found it to be blown. I replaced it with the exact same size and type of fuse. Then I tried to roll up the drivers side window. The door window control panel switch then began to smoke and there was the smell of burning electronics and plastic. I took it to the dealership and was told the control panel and regulator had fried and would need to be completely replaced.

After a recent rainstorm, windows will not work from driver side window switch. Windows will go down and come right back up. They now are working intermittently. Sometimes they will go down and not come up, or go down and come right back up. Very dangerous, especially with kids if they like to put their hands out the window while your driving and it goes up on them; it's possible they could get their hands stuck and cause serious injury.

Power windows were rolled up and key off and vehicle unattended and locked. Later in afternoon after it rained it was reported the drivers window was down. After checking on the vehicle the window had rolled itself down sometime while in at work. The drivers window switch would not operate. After getting estimate at GM dealer(700+) and body shop(350 plus programming at GM dealer), they were able to jump motor to roll up window and disable switch. Harness and switch were starting to melt and deform wire insulation at drivers window switch but did not catch on fire or melt to bare wiring.

This issue started when the back hatch of the Trailblazer would not lock or open and the rear wiper would not work. After dealing with this for a few months the doors, windows and driver side seat stopped working. Also, the doors would not lock/unlock with the keyless entry. After some research, I changed the lgm fuse (it was blown). Once the fuse was changed everything started working except the back hatch. I manually locked the back hatch and closed it. Once the hatch was closed all of the doors locked and I could not open the truck. I manually used the key and opened the driver side door. When I opened the door I could hear the electrical wires burning in the door panel and throughout the truck. The truck was filled with smoke and smelt of burnt plastic. Luckily I was not inside the truck when the fire started because none of the unlock or window buttons worked. I would have been stuck inside of a burning truck. I unplugged the negative charge of the battery and put the fire out. Once the fire was out I tried starting the truck and it would not start. I went through all of the gears with the truck off, I pulled up the E-brake and the truck started. Once I shut the truck back off it would not start again.

While driving down city road, I began to smell a burnt smell. I looked to my left and saw a little wisp of smoke from my driver side power window switches. I immediately stopped, shut off vehicle, popped the hood and disconnected the power to my battery. I called a friend who is a mechanic and he took out the switch cluster. Opened the cluster and saw a burnt mark on the bottom left of circuit board. It will need to be replaced. Pictures received 06/25/12 updated 06/29/2012

After work I went to leave when I noticed my car smelled like burned plastic, I couldn't figure it out until I tried to roll the windows down and they did not work. So I popped the window component out and unplugged it, which was the smell, the unit must have fried (melted) while the vehicle was off. Researching it, to try and replace the part I found multiple instances of this happening, where fires are caused by this module. I'm hoping this will help to have a recall, people door's should not be starting on fire, especially when the vehicle is off. Updated 05/17/12

Fuel gauge suddenly became inaccurate. Reads empty and chimes empty even when full. Since it happens intermittently, it has caused me to run out of gas more than once in past three years. Received blanket offer from manufacturer to cover half of the expense, so they know it is an issue, but should be a total recall for safety.

Driver side speaker intermittently comes on (rarely). Driver side window switch intermittently works. It used to intermittently fail, now it rarely works. Occasionally, all the driver controls on the dashboard go dead and the radio doesn't work. The lock doesn't work. The ABS light and traction control light always illuminate. This intermittent electrical problem has been one big headache and it all seems to point to the drivers side window switch which is under investigation for fires. There is a defect in these window switches and the owners of the vehicles should not be burdened financially because of this.

Control panel in driver's side door shorting out: Window mostly would not go down, but if it did go down, it would not go up till you shut off the car and restarted. Heated seat would come on all by it's self. Discovered 1 morning side rearview mirror "re-adjusting" it's self, car was off. Occasional smells of hot wire. The fuse to control panel was taken out before anything else went wrong.
