“AFTER PUTTING THE DRIVERS WINDOW DOWN AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU IT WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. THIS WAS IN JANUARY, VERY COLD IN MICHIGAN. DEALER SAID MOISTURE MUST HAVE GOTTEN INTO SWITCH AND THE WHOLE MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF THAT MEANS THE DOORS CAN'T BE OPENED WHEN IT WAS RAINING, HE SAID YES THEY CAN BUT FOR SOME REASON GM HAS A LOT OF DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW SWITCHES GOING BAD ON THE TRAILBLAZERS. THE COST TO HAVE IT REPLACED WAS $430 WHICH WE PAID SEEING HOW ONLY THE DEALER CAN PROGRAM THE NEW SWITCH. IT'S NOW ONE YEAR LATER AND THE SAME SWITCH HAS GONE BAD AGAIN, I CALLED THE DEALER BUT WERE OVER THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. IT WILL COST ANOTHER $430 TO REPLACE AGAIN. *TR”

“2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LX. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH REAR WINDOW AND REPLACEMENT *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR WINDOW WAS REPLACED FOUR TIMES. THE CONSUMER STATED HE IS DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT A REAR WINDOW, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE IT AND CHEVROLET CORPORATE REFUSED TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST. IN MARCH 2003, THE COWLING ABOVE THE REAR WINDOW BECAME DISPLACED OF ITS OWN ACCORD AND A SHORT TIME LATER, THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED UPON IT BEING OPENED. ROUGHLY, THREE AND HALF YEARS LATER, THE WINDOW ONCE AGAIN SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO CRACKS IN THE WINDOW, AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT IMPACT TO THE WINDOW. THE CONSUMER STATED HE MERELY OPENED IT, AND IT SHATTERED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDOW AGAIN, BUT AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE, AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. IN JANUARY 2011, THE WINDOW ONCE AGAIN SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED UPON IT BEING OPENED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, HE WOULD BE CHARGED FULL PRICE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW. *JB”

“WAS PREVIOUSLY CONTACTED BY AN "[XXX]" FROM WASHINGTON, DC TO RETRIEVE THE POWER WINDOW MODULE THAT HAD CAUGHT FIRE. I WAS GOING TO TURN THE PART OVER TO NHTSA. I AM IN DC AT THE US POSTAL SERVICE HQ ON MON/WED/TH. *TR”

“POWER WINDOW CONTROL ON THE PASSENGER DOOR STARTED ON FIRE AND MELTED SOME OF THE DOOR PANEL AND WINDOW CONTROL MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE HAS THE HEATED SEAT BUTTONS ON THE WINDOW CONTROL MODULE. (P/N 15096223). THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE (NO KEYS IN IGNITION) WHEN THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF AND SMOKE STARTED FLOWING OUT. COMPLETELY MELTED THE FRONT 4PIN CONNECTER AND WIRING HARNESS I STILL HAVE THE MELTED PART IF NEEDED FOR ANYTHING. I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT YOU HAVE NOW OPENED UP AN INVESTIGATION ON 2006-2007 MODELS ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. I HAD DID A FEW INTERNET SEARCHES LOOKING FOR RECALLS OR SUCH. DID FIND A COUPLE POST WHERE SIMILAR THINGS HAD HAPPENED TO OTHERS WHERE OTHERS HAD STATED HAVING TO DO WITH WATER COMING IN THE WINDOW AND SHORTING THE SWITCH (IF THIS HELPS) THANKS *TR”
