ON OR ABOUT THIS DATE MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXPERIENCED AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE DURING A SNOW STORM. BOTH POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES BECAME IN OPERATIVE AND THE WINDOWS OPENED AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I ALSO ENCOUNTERED AN ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE VEHICLE, AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING THE SWITCHES FUNCTIONED AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT IN THE GM RECALL ON 6-30-14, THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WAS IN THE RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE WINDOW/LOCK SWITCH CAN OVERHEAT AND MALFUNCTION ALSO MENTIONED IS THE KEY SWITCH PROBLEM GM HAD. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND BEEN TOLD THAT WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL RECALL FROM GM THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE WAS IN FACT A RECALL BUT IT SEEMS IT WAS "SWEPT UNDER THE RUG".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPEN. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW, THE WINDOW INDEPENDENTLY OPENED AND CLOSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR OCCASIONS.

THE WINDOWS WOULD ROLL UP BY THEMSELVES, ONE OF MY DOGS ALMOST GOT HIS HEAD STUCK IN THE BACK WINDOW, ALSO SEAT HEATER WOULD COME ON AND SWITCH FROM HIGH TO MED. TO LOW, THEN BACK TO HIGH. I HAD IT REPAIRED, COST WAS $413.00 I'M HEARING THE SAME TROUBLE HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH THE 2006 - 2007 MODELS AND SOME HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. IS THE NEW PART GOING TO DO THE SAME? CAN I RECOVER ANY OF THE COST? *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THE END OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR WITH UNDER 100,000 MILES. THE FIRST THING TO GO WAS THE GAS GAUGE, ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRAIL BLAZER THE NEEDLE WENT SOUTH. IT ACTUALLY HOVERS AROUND 6 0 ' CLOCK. THEN A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO DRIVING HOME I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, I TOOK IT WITH THE HAND BUTTON AND LOOKED DOWN AND THE NEEDLE NEVER MOVED, IT WAS STUCK AT 65. IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS AND THE NEEDLE HAS MOVED BUT THE WRONG WAY, TO THE RIGHT GOING UP 75, 80, 90, THEN BACK DOWN TO 65 AND STAYING THERE. I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACING THE GAS GAUGE AND I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE DASH WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT A PRICE OF 1200.00, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, CHEVROLET SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR
