Problems with 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer VISIBILITY

My husband was driving with the whole family in the car, it was raining that morning and only a minute into our drive, the drivers door window rolled down by itself...he pushed the switch for the window to go back up..the window went back up and not even 30seconds later it rolled down again on its own...at about the same time smoke started billowing out of the drivers door, the smoke filled the car, it smelled like an electrical fire. we were only a block from home so we took the car home, pulled the interior from the door where we discovered the switches that control the locks, windows, and side mirrors were all melted and still smoking...we disconnected all the switches and are without use of any drivers door electrical switches. *tr updated 10/03/12*lj updated 10/04/2012 *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet trailblazer. the contact stated that before exiting the vehicle, he smelled smoke and noticed smoke coming from the driver's side door. the vehicle was inspected by the owner and he saw that the smoke was coming from the power window switch. the driver's side door power window switch was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

I was going into the drive through bank window and when i went to open my window it would not go down. the other windows worked but not from the main switch. i called the dealer and they said i need a new module which is going to cost me $300 to replace which i do not have . after doing some research this seems to be a problem with this model. *js

The driver side window switch burned up and melted inside while vehicle was unattended. the window switch is now inoperable. *tr updated 10/19/12 *cn updated 10/23/2012 *js

My windshield cracked while driving....no impact, no stone, no thud. just a crack developing across the windshield. i wirite this because the other day i stopped at a dunkin donuts and just happened to park next to another trailblazer. while i was in the store, a third trailblazer pulled in next to me. when i left the store i saw that all three trailblzers had cracked windshields in virtually the same place???? i also own a 2006 chevy cobalt....and guess what.......cracked windshield this fall just driving down a street. i think chevrolet windsheilds need to be investigated for the quality of glass/material that they are using. thank you.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet trailblazer. the contact stated that the automatic window failed. the fuse for the window was replaced but after ward, the contact witnesses smoke coming from the door in which the window had failed. the contact then disconnected the fuse entirely. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the wiring for the window switch was replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance since this failure was under investigation. the current mileage was 100,000 and the failure mileage was 70,000.

At 45,000 miles i have had to have the tierods replaced and there is still something wrong with the passenger side wheel assembly, but they can't seem to figure out what the squeak is. it could be a bearing i have been told, but they don't know without tearing it all down. 2nd is the power window on the drivers side is getting slower to come up and i can smell wires burning at times (although i am not sure if the 2 are related) i have also had to replace the "idler pulley" at 42,000 miles.....this seems ridiculous as it keeps turning out to be one thing after another????? *tr

on vacation with my family last summer the windows upon entering the vehicle started to go up and down all by themselves. it almost caught my sons arm inside of it. after a few minutes the windows stopped and remained down. we couldn't get them to go back up for a few hours and had to leave them down overnight. the next morning my husband went out, turned the key, pushed the buttons and they all went back up. he told us not to touch the windows just in case weren't able to get them back up. once we returned from vacation i took it to a suggested mechanic as per my warranty company. they diagnosed it as the master window switch, the gentlemen told me that they are about 2-3 hundred dollars and are not covered under warranty, imagine that!well i paid the gentlemen for his time and have been without windows for over a year now because i make my 500 payment every month and do not have the extra money not only for the part but then for labor and to have it programmed by an authorized dealer. now i see that this is a common problem with this year trailblazer, are we waiting for someone to die before we issue a recall? i sent an email to gm about it and they did contact me, what they said is to once again have it diagnosed at an authorized gm dealer (ok more $) then they would look at the report and if they ok it i would then be reimbursed for everything (ok good one) i just had it diagnosed and still have the report but i need to get another one, come on people i don't make your salary and have 2 kids to support! . so i took it, well when i talked to the gm dealer they said just to look at it will be about 100 so i cancelled the appointment. that is very sad that gm would knowingly let this go on with out offering to fix the problem. i will never buy another gm motors vehicle in my life, sad to say that i will be buying not made in the usa vehicles from here on out. *tr updated 8/22/12 *cn

First occurrence, driver window would not go down early summer 2010. i brought it into the chevy i bought my car from and the window part was replaced. from time to time i would smell burning but i didn't think it was my car, it didn't happen every time i was driving so i couldn't explain it to chevy. i got into an accident january 2012 and had to bring it to a body repair shop and thy noticed the driver door electrical system has melted. since it's a 2007 my warranty is expired and i paid the body shop to replace the part $425. i called chevy because i saw in the news that these parts are being investigated for catching on fire and they said that the next time i smell burning or melting i need to bring it to them right away. *tr
