The headlights and dash lights flicker, but not every time I drive at night. When it does happen, it drives me nuts and wonder if the local cops will stop me for something as stupid as this. They stopped me for forgetting to turn off my high beams one time. Asked me if I had been drinking because drunk drivers often forget to turn off high beams or forget to turn their lights on altogether. I hadn't been drinking, but I do have a couple of beers when I bowl with my wife in a mixed league with her family. Every time, I hope that the lights don't play their little dance and draw undue attention. I'm out of warranty and probably won't hear from GM on the issue, unless I call the dealer where I bought it, I'll never know if the problem is resolved. Now that they're all asking for money to bail them out, maybe they will find a little extra cash to develop a repair to take care of this pain in the ass problem that some of us share......

Many,many,many owners complain of the headlight flickering to a point they seem to turn off for an instant while driving. This I also found to be true of my Trailblazer. Does this not concern Chevrolet? Do you wish for someone to have an accident. It may have happened or may soon to happen.

Headlights flicker all the time!!!! Low beams only. I had it to the dealer and once again they say that this is normal!!! I've had other cars, even GM, and none have done this!

On occasions, my lights would get bright then dim after about a second or two. I thought it was just a loose wire or something. After seeing more post about this, I am not the only one again. This model has so many issues. Can I get my money back? I cant refer people to buy American after all these issues with this car. I checked the amount of Chevrolet recalls and its amazing that they would release so many defective cars. I would be putting my friends and family in danger.
I cant tell how fast I'm driving or tell whether I have enough gas to get to my destination and sweating like crazy to get somewhere due to my Blower Motor Resistor problem. This all happened about the same time right after the warranty expired. Is there any help out there? I cant even take my kids out when it gets really hot (like now).
Fix my problem Chevy! I hope someone from Chevy is reading this. This is a very serious problem and someone will bound to get hurt by this car. Please recall it!
