The investigation into Trailblazer blazes has moved onto the next level, according to Reuters.

Back in February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration started investigating 2006-2007 model year Chevrolet Trailblazers after receiving a dozen complaints about fires breaking out in door panels. Now the federal agency will be conducting an engineering analysis into some 341,786 vehicles, according to the report.

NHTSA has reportedly received 83 complaints over the issue, with 28 of those concerning actual fires. No injuries have been reported, and General Motors told Reuters that it is cooperating with the investigation, including examining the Trailblazer’s platform-mates, the Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X.NHTSA opens door to expanded Chevy Trailblazer fire probe originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:29:00 EST.
