Trailblazer

  • 140,000 miles
While night driving in the city or highway the headlights just die. Leaving the car with no lights and in total darkness. Unfortunately I have to use high beams to continue my trip. Using the high beams causes blinding of the oncoming traffic until I can safely reach my destination. The light stay out on average about half an hour.

Trailblazer

  • 100,000 miles
While driving at any speed the headlights go out and the high beams have to be used in order to see safely. This is very dangerous and unsafe thus can cause an accident. I understand there is a recall on this but our cars VIN number is not included in the recall. Why would other VIN numbers with the same problem have a recall and ours does not" isn't it just as unsafe for us as it is for them" this has been going on for months and none of the garage mechanics can seem to find the problem. We have been very diligent with all maintenance items and would like to keep our car so any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated. We have no specific date this started but I am using the middle of June 2015. This seems to be happening more and more frequently.

The low beam headlights will go out (off) without our doing anything. One occasion occurred on I-4 West bound from orlando. Have read of other people having the same problem., yet no recall. Do accidents and injuries have to happen before action is taken.? it is occurring more frequently than before and will happen under any conditions. Has been occurring for a couple years.

problem #42

Oct 262015

Trailblazer

  • 146,000 miles
While driving my headlights will quit working and cease to turn on until after sitting for a few hours. After driving and and parking, sometimes the headlights will fail to turn on after starting vehicle. My headlights are having the very same issues as mentioned in GM recall 14291 where issues with the headlamp driver module (hdm) overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to then fail and not illuminate. I contacted Chevrolet and they refused to cover the issue under the recall stating it is VIN specific and my VIN was not under recall. This issue has been occurring for several months and is very dangerous.
