| The bearings on the alternator are wearing and need to be replaced, the vehicle only has 29,000 miles and according to my mechanic they should not be worn this early and should be replaced as soon as possible; this is definately a safety issue and a faulty part that i should not have to pay to have replaced. the fuel level indicator has stopped working over 2.5 years ago. i did receive a letter saying that the part may wear out prematurely and they are willing to pay 50% of the replacement but if it wears out prematurely then the part is faulty and i should not have to pay to replace the part. the backup light panel is bad, i tried to replace the bulb but the problem lies with the panel, fauilty part again. | |||

| The air conditioning on my 2006 chevy trailblazer ext stopped working. the problem was the blower motor resistor module and resistor module connector. the parts had melted together, causing the wires to become loose at the connection. apparently this is a common problem with my chevy model. there are many online postings indicating that the problem could cause a fire. chevrolet company refused to even look at my vehicle until i paid a $110.00 diagnostic fee. the service technician immediately knew what the problem was and explained that it was a common problem with my model and the tahoe. the gas gauge also stopped working recently which i was told by the technician that it too was a common problem. there are numerous complaints on these parts as well as the brake light circuit boards, which also went out on my vehicle. the technician once again said that it was a common problem. these parts seem to be failing shortly after the warranty expires. there are many issues with the electrical system in this vehicle. the problems are hazardous safety issues and are known to the chevrolet corporation. i was able to find the parts at nearly 80% cheaper than what the dealer wanted to charge me, not including the labor and diagnostic fee. safety recalls on these parts should be issued. | |||
