Relay failed losing both front low beam headlights

- Greenwich, NY, USA

Just bought Trailblazer 3 weeks ago. Making repairs before putting on road. New tires, brakes, trans. Lines, body work-rust both rear side doors, spare tire winch, ect.when I road tested with dealer plate two days in a row found out my low bea M or daytime running lights would not work at times. Real problem at night. I understand there is a recall for this problem. My local dealer does not show recall for my VIN. #. this Trailblazer needs to be included. Driving in dark back roads at night very dangorous. Oncoming trafic dont like my hi beams. Spoke with past owner, he said this happened to him 3 OR4 times at night to him. My dealer wants me to pay for parts and labor. He is sure it is headlight driver module like recalled vehicles. Let me know if in need to scream at Chevy. Thank you for help.

The headlights will go out while driving the vehicle. There is currently a recall for this problem for Trailblazers. It is GM safety recall 14291. The problem is the headlamp driver module. I contacted GM. After giving them my VIN number, they told me that my vehicle is not included in the recall. The problems I was having matched exactly what this recall is fixing. I believe my vehicle should be included.

When driving with headlamps on low beam, intermittently both headlamps will go out. This happen to me while driving down a steep, curvy, highway on a rainy night. I was facing an oncoming big truck, in a sharp curve. Dimmed my lights and everything went totally black on my vehicle. All I hear is the horn of a big truck as the driver is trying to avoid my vehicle. I called my dealership and took my vehicle in only to be told that this make and model is not on recall, yet. So I am out of pocket for the repair, while other GM vehicles are on recall for this same problem. Called GM, was basically told, no recall, your problem. I have been a GM customer for 30 years, not anymore.

Low beam headlight failure. While driving at night, the low beam headlights randomly fail. The vehicle is in motion. When they fail, I can't see in front, and on surface roads, oncoming traffic can't see me. The vehicle was recalled for this very reason, and my vehicle is in that group, but when the VIN number was checked my vehicle wasn't on that list. I don't have the recall number, but I found out online my vehicle should be included in that recall.

My low beam and daytime running lights stopped functioning last week. I found there was a recall for this, but only for certain vehicles. GM needs to expand this to cover all Trailblazers manufactured in 2007. I contacted GM and was told in spite of problem they would not cover the repair. I had to drive home on interstate highway at 10:00 pm 85 miles using high beam headlights.

- Mansfield, OH, USA

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.
