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.
Side plastic panel on drivers seat pops off from the pressure from the seat when you get in the car. Small plastic clip can not take pressure exerted from the top of panel. Had to have it replaced frequently, just scheduled it with the oil changes during warranty. Should have been recalled and corrected.
The plastic panel covering the power seat controls cracked and damaged the lumbar support system. I only weigh 185, so it's not like I crushed it. Bad design for this part. It should be made stronger.
