Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. while driving, the headlights shut off frequently. when the failure occurred, the high beam headlights had to be activated. the manufacturer stated that there were no recalls and advised the contact to schedule an appointment with tom gill chevrolet (7830 commerce dr, florence, ky 41042, (859) 371-7566). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer was contacted. the failure mileage was 91,800. *tt consumer stated he read on the internet that there was a recall in 2006 other people had same problem, his was on 2005.*jb
Both headlamps went out same night. high beams work. checked fuses all are fine. very dangerous as high beams are not meant to be used in this fashion. i see there are recalls on same model other years.
When leaving work at night on 8/21/18, started the car and the low beams came on, and then immediately went off. they would not come back on. had to drive home using the fog lights and high beams. have only had this car for a week. doesn't seem safe. see that lots of trailblazers have this issue. looks like recall begins with the 2006 for this same issue.
Leaving from work at night and when car initially was turned on, the low beams illuminated, but then went off. i had to drive home using fog lamps and high beams only. they never did come on in a 25 minute drive. i see that this is a common problem with this make and model, and it appears that the 2006 are in a recall for this, but not the 2005. very unsafe! my kids are supposed to drive this car, but now i'm not so sure!
Daytime running lights will not work. low beam headlights will not turn on at night.
The headlights go off after a while of use as if the over heat and go off once they cool off they come back on but they go off after about 15 mins of use. only the brights will work at this time. so not only is it a safety hazard to me that my lights just go off out of nowhere then i have to turn my brights on which is a safety hazard to other people and against the wall you have a recall on the 2006 model for the same problem why would you not have the recall on the 2005 model that obviously has the same issue they go off on back roads they go off on the highway they go off in the city they go off in the country they go off anywhere that i'm driving anytime that the headlights are on that will go off after about 15 minutes of use whether the car is being driven or it is stationary. this imhas been a problem with this car for many years but i just recently bought it for myself and i feel it's an issue that you all should resolve ...
While driving at night i have an intermittent problem where the headlamp low beams just go out. i have moved relays around but it doesn't correct the problem. i have been stopped by police several times because i am blinding other drivers because i have to drive with brights lit. i see they recalled the 2006 and later models for this problem. i work at a shop and we see , on average, 10 per year that are 2005 and that's just in our small community. if i set a half hour, sometimes an hour then the dims start working again. the most recent time was may 5th of 2018
My headlights constantly shut off while driving at night and i have to use my high beams to see anything. looked online seems to be a known issue yet no recalls when entering my vin. thank you.
Low beams go out while driving down the road. not every morning but 2 to 3 times a week this happens to me. it is dangerous but it doesn't really scare me anymore. it has happens while driving down the road, when i stop at the end of my road.
My headlights keep going out while driving. i have replaced the bulbs and the relay switch. they will work for a while and then will go out again. sometimes they will come back on. i cannot drive my vehicle at night with no headlights. the bright lights will work once in a while. this has been an ongoing problem for a few years. i have not been able to get my lights back on and no one seems to know what the problem is. this is a big safety issue and i see that there are many others with the same complaint. gm needs to do something to fix this issue. the 2005 seems to big a big issue and a recall should be issued for the safety of all drivers and passengers. the date i selected below for when this happened is the most recent.
I was driving in the dark and my automatic headlights turned off. i pulled over and was able to get them back on. i got on the interstate in heavy traffic. i was driving in the middle lane with two tractor trailors to my right and traffic to my left. suddenly it went dark. it was very scary. i got around the trucks and pulled into the emergency lane. before i came to a complete stop they turned on and stayed on. i haven't driven in the dark a long distance until the other night. my headlights may have been turning off and on in the daylight without my knowledge. i checked and there wasn't any open recalls. although the 2006 chevrolet trail blazer has a recall for the same problem. headlights turning off while driving.
Headlights on 2005 trailblazer go out occasionally while vehicle is being driven. vehicle was being driven on an interstate highway at highway speed after the vehicle had been started and driven for approximately 30 minutes.
While driving the dim lights turn off by them selves. now they will not turn on at all. i have replaced relays and fuses. no help.
The headlights go out without any warning, i can't seem to turn them back on, i have to pull off to the side of the road, i tun the switch on and off and nothing happens, i've had the fussed and headlights changed and i can't seem to find a solution. the seem to just go on and off on their own. this if a very dangerous issue and i have found out i am not the only chevy owner that this is an issue with this model and i's surprised to find out there has not been a recall for this unsafe defect!
