CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer is known for many things, but perhaps it is most famous for its faulty fuel gauge.

This gauge flip-flops more than a politician during election season. Some report that the gauge says "empty" after a fill-up, while others report the gauge says "full" when they're running on fumes. Either way, there's one thing everyone seems to agree on: the darn thing is just wrong.

Following hundreds of complaints and a few accidents allegedly caused by the malfunction, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into the issue in May 2011. Unfortunately for frustrated owners, no recall has been announced.

Don't remember the milage on the car when this happened between 60,000 - 70,000. I turned off the car and the blower motor continued wouldn't turn off. I took it to the garage and it was replaced.

I have had so many problems with this vehicle since i purchased it in july of 2011. This morning I woke up, warmed up my car, and the rear heater came on, on its own. I turned the regular heater on as usual, run to take my son to school and when i get back home and turn off the car, the ext fan is still blowing. Everything inside the vehicle is turned off, the keys are not even in the ignition and its still on and running as of right now( 6hr later) this damn thing can end up messing up the car even more or catch fire with a wiring problem. And the bad part about it, it happen right when my warranty went out.I am very disappointed! And I am starting to regret my purchased of my 07 chevy malibu!
