What 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer 360 owners say
Electrical system
I was driving home from a wedding on the interstate at 55 MPH, and my headlamps failed. Everything went completely dark. After a panic, I was able to turn on my high beams, and they worked properly. I had to drive the rest of the way home with my high beams on for safety, blinding oncoming drivers. When I got home, I tested my fog lights, and they worked properly. I turned the car off, waited a few minutes, and turned it back on. The low beam headlamps worked then. Since the first incident, I have had approximately 10-15 other incidents of the same occurrence. I was positive that my vehicle was included in the recent recall, but when I called my local dealer, I was advised that my VIN number was not included. I don't understand, since the issue on the recall is exactly the issue that I am dealing with. …
Upon entering vehicle to leave a parking lot at night, discovered the headlights wouldn't work (still not working). The fuses are not out. Tried replacing the headlight switch box, but that didn't fix the problem so put the original back on the vehicle. Everything else in the vehicle seems to be working fine. Discovered an online report stating a problem found on this vehicle, "headlamp driver module failure," GM recall number 14291; however, can't find anything since with regard to a solution via GM. Called the Chevy number, [phone], but informed that nothing found for our VIN number. Looked online with our VIN number also, but nothing is listed for this issue. Cannot drive the vehicle at night now or safely in a rainy weather situation, etc. Will contact our local GM dealer to see if we can get this situation taken care of, but decided we should send this email as well.

I was driving home one night about an hour after dark. As I was driving about 45 MPH, my headlights just completely went out without warning. After carefully pulling off to the side of the road I realized my high beams were still working. I looked into this issue and realized it was a relay 45 and 46 issue. The next day I replaced this relay and my lights worked. For a day. Now it's been almost a month, and I can't drive after dark. I've asked my local GM dealership to look into this and they told me there was a recall but yet they don't have a resolution. Being I work until the sun goes down, and I have an hour drive home from work 5-6 days a week, this presents a major problem for me. If this were a simple window switch recall (which I've already had replaced) I would be OK with it for now. Unfortunately this is a lighting issue which can be and is a very serious issue. …
