I am very frustrated. I am now looking at having to replace the switch that controls my headlights, turn signals, and cruise control yet again, and this time only 3 weeks after it was last replaced, which was 1/2/02 and that was only 2 and 1/2 months after I last had it replaced in October, and before that, it was replaced in August (in all my car has had 5 switches since I bought it new and now looking at having a 6th). For a switch to burn out like this so frequently, is a hazard and not safe, especially when driving. I have had, in the past, my headlights go out while I was on a free-way at night. My mechanic, on 1/2/02 also replaced the actual headlights at the recommendation of a Chevy dealer mechanic, who told him that apparently the trailblazers are also experiencing this same problem because they have the same switch. I think the Chevy dealer should issue a recall on this and take care of the problem. I shouldn't have to take my car in every month or two to have the part replaced. It is not fair to my mechanic who has to do it free, and not fair to me because it is a big inconvenience, not to mention unsafe to have this problem occuring so frequently. Perhaps a recommendation from you would get Chevy to do something about this problem.
