2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT — Complaint #666113
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT filed April 17, 2008
NHTSA complaint #666113 (ODI reference 10224790) concerns a 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT and was filed on April 17, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 6, 2008. The vehicle had 59,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Minnesota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as exterior lighting:turn signal:flasher unit, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT cohort independently describe similar exterior lighting:turn signal:flasher unit failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I WAS DRIVING MY TRAILBLAZER TO MINNEAPOLIS AND THE TURN SIGNALS WERE WORKING FINE, I STOP AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN I WENT TO USE MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND THE FLASHERS WENT ON INSTEAD. IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERYTIME I USED IT. I HAD TO GO AND GET THE FLASHER MODULES REPLACE AT THE COST OF 200.00. I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR
