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.
Had to drive the vehicle with pillows propped behind my back for over three weeks and the peddles pushed all the way forward because the motor was on backorder. Since then, the seat has temporarily stopped working for a couple days but then would start working again. I am considering having a manual seat installed because it's an extreme hazard for me to be driving on the interstate on my tip-toes!!! I keep hoping that there would be a recall on the seats but still no luck!
