I have a 2006 chevy trailblazer with only a little over 80,000 miles on it. i have been having issues with the stabilitrak system. i will get read outs about the stabilitrak needs to be serviced or the stabilitrak has kicked in when it hasn't. the stabilitrak will try to in gauge for no apparent reason when appling the brakes. it happens when i am backing out of my driveway, coming to a stop or just applying the brakes to slow down. it happens on all type of road surfaces. this happens when it is bright and sunny outside, on dry roads, highways, streets, dirt roads and day or night. it does it at fast speeds and very low speeds. it makes a strange noise when this happens however the stabilitrak doesn't fully in gauge. the repair shop looked at it and told me that they think the computer modal is not communicating with the stabilitrak system. this started a few weeks ago. so i'm not sure how this will affect the brakes when driving on the snow and icy roads. i have seen other complaints on the same type of issues.
Headlamp driver module not working right. headlights go out while driving. just started happening. chevy said will not pay for as it is past the july 29 expiration. i was driving down the highway at night. headlights went completely out. very scary. they said i will have to pay to have it fixed as it is no longer their problem. this happened to me a few years ago with the fuel gauge. it shows i have no gas in my car when i actually have full tank. never had it fixed because it costs too much and chevy said past expiration date.
The low beam headlights (both left and right) will stop working without warning while driving at night. if the vehicle is turned off and restarted after a period of time has elapsed, the low beams will start working again. all the other lights work and the dash lights continue to work. this typically happens when driving both on city streets and the highway.
This vehicle has had 4 ignition switch failures. sometimes when the vehicle is traveling at highway speed. losing brakes and power steering. there was an ignition switch recall on 2006 chevy trailblazers but this perticular one is not included. when i read online forums there are many people battling this dangerous problem. please help!
While i was driving at night my head lights went off and wouldn't come back on until about 30 minutes. neither the bright or deam lights would work.
When the vehicle is filled with a full tank of fuel, the gas gauge reads empty and the fuel warning light sounds. once the fuel level drops to approximately 1/2 a tank, the gauge will resume normal operation. this happens no matter whether the vehicle is in motion or is stationary.
