| I was just reading the complaints & thought i would submit a few of my own. gas fillling is always a task as tank always seems to overflow & gas sprays out everywhere. i was told it is because of the type of filler line that gm uses. headlights constantly going from normal to dim, to dimmer, then back to normal, regardless of driving conditions. saw the one from the person being shocked, this too has always happened to me since the first day i bought the trailblazer. if i touch the metal of the door upon exiting the vehicle theres a large jolt from static electricity i assume. the arc from this jolt is very visible & i estimate it to 2 inches in length at times (longer your in the vehilce...bigger the arc). all the rubber trim on the backhath has come off. plastic lining used on fenderwells constantly coming loose & must be reatached. carpet around pedals has all come loose. i bought this vehicle nov. 1 2004 & it is hardly been driven with only 6,000 miles yet seems to be falling apart already. *jb | |||

| Dt: the vehicle is a 2004 chevrolet trailblazer ls. while shutting the door or touching the vehicle the consumer would be shock so badly that she sees colors. she tried touching the plastic handle to the door but if her finger comes within an inch of the metal it would still shock her, even through clothes. dealership was going to fix the problem sometime this week. they have tried products for humidity and used static guard but none of this stuff solved the problem. mechanic said they had a lot of problems with people getting shocked. after the vehicle started shocking her the computer chip was replaced, and since they replaced computer it shocked even harder. *ak *nm | |||

| Low beam headlight connection shorts out and burns, and heater and a/c controls don't work anymore when you try to turn on heat or a/c kills engine. i have already replaced the liftgate module, that fixed the problem of not being able to lock the vehicle and sometimes starting it. this all started at about 92,000 miles. estimated repair cost for heat and a/c around $600.00. *tr | |||

| I purchased this vehicle in feb 2008. i opened the hatch for the first time and when i lifted the hatch, i began to hear a lot of breaking and bolts flying. i got it to close securely and didn't have any problems. then one day, i was driving my truck and the back hatch began to shake. i continue to drive the vehicle. after driving for another few minutes the hatch began to fall backward. i never reach the ground, it was held on by the lights that connect the top light. i went to a dealer that repaired it supposedly. a few days later it done the same thing. i attempted to get it repair a second time. it wasn't successful either. this time i couldn't get it closed. i was told it was a problem amongst a few trailblazer by my insurance company. nothing has been done as of yet. the only solution that i was told that may help the problem is paying $1,100 to buy another. according to a local dealer the window doesn't belong in the vehicle. the whole set up is not the way it should be set up. my vehicle has a bracket holding the window up but there isn't a bracket on any website. *tr | |||

| While my vehicle was parked, the rear hatch window self exploded. it was witnessed by many general motors employees. checking on the web, i found that this is more common than expected. happens mostly in chevy trailblazers and ford escapes. *tr | |||
