THE DRIVER'S DOOR MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH MODULE GOT HOT & STARTED SMOKING. REMOVING AND LOOKING AT IT SHOWED THAT IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT STARTED SOMEWHERE ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. IT SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM LISTED ON THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V599000) IT HAPPENED IN 2015. I'VE JUST BEEN HOLDING ONTO THE PART BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT & THE LOCAL DEALER WASN'T ANY HELP.

STARTING UP MY CAR LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING,I WENT TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE WAS A HESITATION THEN IT STOPPED AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING.FROM THAT POINT FORWARD I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN OR UP AND LOST ALL FUNCTIONS FROM THAT CONTACT PAD....IN LOOKING THRU THE VARIES RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR MODULE IN 2006,2007. IF THIS RECALL INITIATED WITH THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN 08/12, WHY IS THIS MODEL NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???? WHY WILL I HAVE TO PAY THE $400 IN REPAIRS SOMEHOW THIS DOESN'T SEEM ETHICAL. ESPECIALLY IF YOU KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING IN THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER...I AM SURE I AM PREACHING TO THE CHOIR BUT MAYBE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WITH INCITE AS TO THE LOGIC!!!!!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN A RAINY STATE WITH THE DRIVER'S WINDOW PARTIALLY CRACKED. WATER BEGAN DRIPPING IN ONTO THE DRIVER WINDOW CONTROL PANEL, SO I CLOSED THE WINDOW. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WENT TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORKED. THERE WAS A FAINT ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. ALL FOUR WINDOW CONTROLS ON THE PANEL WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION AS WELL AS THE HEATED SEAT BUTTONS. THE DOOR LOCK STILL FUNCTIONED AS WELL AS THE WINDOW LOCK OUT BUTTON. I'M JUST GLAD THIS HAPPENED WITH THE WINDOW UP. SWAPPING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL ALLOWS YOU TO RAISE AND LOWER THE WINDOW, SO IT IS THE CONTROL PANEL THAT IS DEFECTIVE. I SEE THAT THE 2006 AND 2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS DUE TO FIRES, BUT NO RECALL EXISTS FOR THE 2005 FIRES AS FIRES HAVEN'T BEEN REPORTED YET. *TR

SATURDAY NIGHT (03/1/14) ON OUR WAY HOME IT STARTED SNOWING HEAVILY, THE VISIBILITY WAS LOW AND OUR WINDOWS WERE FOGGING UP AND THE FRONT HEATER BLOWER WENT OFF ON OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. WHILE TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OVER WE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T SEE THROUGH OUR FOGGED UP WINDOWS.. AFTER WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF THE BLOWER MOTOR CAME ON AND CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, SO WE RE-STARTED THE CAR, AND THE BLOWER WENT OFF AND NEVER CAME BACK ON... THEN TODAY I WENT OUT STARTED THE CAR TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AND THE BLOWER CAME ON. I DROVE TO THE STORE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO RUN SO I RE-STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND THE BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED. WHEN I RE-ENTERED THE CAR TO GO HOME THE BLOWER ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ANY SPEED. SO I FIGURED IF I DIDN'T HAVE HEAT AT LEAST I HAD A HEATED SEAT BUT AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINS THE SEAT PART OF THE SEAT GOT SO HOT IT WAS BURNING MY BUTT AND THIGHS SO I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF. THEN ABOUT 1/2 HOME THE BLOWER JUST STARTED BLOWING AGAIN, I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ONCE AGAIN CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SO AGAIN I PUT THE KEY IN STARTED THE CAR THEN TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND THE MOTOR STOPPED. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD/WINDOWS IN THESE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS< PLUS NOT HAVING HEAT IN BELOW ZERO TEMPS IS A HEALTH HAZARD AS WELL. ( SINCE WE LIVE IN SUCH A COLD SNOWY STATE). *TR

DRIVER SIDE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH DOES NOT WORK THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AT ALL! OUT OF THE BLUE THIS STOPPED WORKING. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE 2006-2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED NOT THE 2005! REALLY, THIS CAR IS "CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN A COLD WEATHER STATE WHICH USES SALT TO CLEAR THE ROADS" (DIRECT QUOTE FROM GENERAL MOTORS AND ISUZU RECALL 258,000 SUVS, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, AUGUST 19, 2012) SINCE 12/2005 WHICH IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. JUST BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A FIRE "YET" BUT I HAVE THE "EXACT" PROBLEM WHICH AROSE BEFORE THESE VEHICLES DID CATCH FIRE, MINE IS NOT RECALLED? NOT ONLY WAS THE TRANSMISSION RECALLED IN 2008, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE "BLOWER MOTOR" NOT WORKING WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEAT. YOU COULD ONLY TURN ON THE HEAT TO NO. 4. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN FOR SERVICE ON 1/10/06, 1/30/06, 2/7/06 AND 2/17/06 WHICH WAS NOT EVEN 2 MO. AFTER PURCHASING SAID VEHICLE BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. IN 11/06 THE "FUEL PUMP MODULE" WAS REPLACED AND COVERED "ONLY" BECAUSE I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY THE $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE, BECAUSE I HAD GAS BUT IT WAS NOT REGISTERING. AGAIN, I CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN CALLING GM ON 7/24/13 ABOUT THE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL, I NOW FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" FOR THE "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR". THIS IS COVERED UNTIL 7/24/14, PER GM (866-694-6546), UNLESS YOU HAVE MORE THAN 120,000 SOMETHING MILES. WAS NOT SURE OF THE MILEAGE EXACTLY SINCE MINE IS BELOW THAT FIGURE. THE WINDOW SWITCH IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED IN "ALL YEARS" OF THIS VEHICLE. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST REV UP AND WANT TO TAKE OFF. I GUESS THIS ISN'T A "BIG DEAL" EITHER. YOU CAN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE RADIO TO DISTRACT YOU WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS GOING ON BECAUSE THE RADIO ONLY COMES OUT OF "ONE" SPEAKER! GO FIGURE, IT IS GM! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE, WINDOW SWITCH BEGAN TO SMOKE SO I PHYSICALLY REMOVED THE SWITCH AND HAVE SINCE NOT HAD POWER WINDOW ACCESS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR. THE COST TO REPLACE WAS TOO GREAT AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIORITY LIST. MORE RECENTLY, MAYBE 2 MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER SIDE SWITCH SHOWED SIGNS OF THE SAME RESULTS AFTER A SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRONICS AND HEAT TO THE TOUCH SO I SIMPLY UNPLUGGED THE SWITCH ALL TOGETHER. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE SWITCHES IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK WITH CHEVROLET IN THE PAST WITH COMPLAINTS SO I FIGURED I WOULD WAIT UNTIL I HAD A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY TO REPLACE THESE SWITCHES. ON THE NEWS TODAY I HEARD THE END OF A REPORT AND ONLY CAUGHT THE WORDS GM AND WINDOW SWITCHES SO I CAME HOME AND SEARCHED AND CAME ACROSS SO ARTICLES INVOLVING 2006 MODELS. THAT IS HOW I CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE. I WOULD VERY MUCH HATE TO FIND OUT THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS FURTHER THAN 2006. AN UNRELATED PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS QUITE UNNERVING, WAS THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AT @ 65 MPH APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. THE FIXTURE BECAME UN ATTACHED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WAS "FLAPPING" OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ONLY FOR A MATTER OF TIME, I'M SURE. LUCKILY OUR FAMILY WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER FAMILY AND THEY NOTIFIED US BY CELL PHONE AND WE WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE FIXTURE WITHOUT INCIDENT ON THE SHOULDER. IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITHOUT DOUBT HAD IT COME COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD US WE WERE OUT OF OUR WARRANTY AND WERE ON OUR OWN. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TRY TO MAKE OUR HIGHWAYS SAFER! *TR
