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.
If it wasn't one problem it was another. Once I fixed something then something else went wrong. I cannot get a break. I thought this was a good purchase but as soon as it went out of warranty everything is going wrong. The lights on my driver door for my window controls goes off but if I hit the door below where the controls are it comes back on. I did not find that out til I closed my door hard one day and it came back on. But I see there is a recall on the driver door for 2006 - whatever date it was. That the driver door catches on fire. Why did they not include 2005 to that list?
