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.

Our new SUV (gsa vehicle) has a windshield that slopes at to steep of an angle. The rearview mirror is stuck on the glass almost in the middle of the windshield severely compromising my forward to right side visibility. What were the engineers thinking" also, the vehicle lacks power window safety switches that could choke a child if they stood on them with their head out the window. I thought these switches were outlawed years ago"

The rear view mirror w/onstar on the windshield blocks your view to the right, this has happened two times to me in the past 60 day I have had the vehicle.
