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.
The lower lumbar adjustment feature of the driver's seat had stopped working when the vehicle was about 9 years of age. I can hear the motor turning in there but there must be a stripped gear (plastic?) as it makes a click, click sound. This isn't a critical problem but can lead to some sitting fatigue for some people that suffer from sitting for long periods of time. One workaround is to simply use a shirt or ready made product if you do need the lumbar support.
I didn't venture into taking the seat apart or seeing how much it would cost for repair. Best of luck to ya!
