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.
This awas the first time the lights went out in the rtadio. The second time started with 1 or 2 lights out about 1 1/2 years after warranty ran out. Then about 5, 6 more went out after an accident.
The 2nd time the lights in the radio went out. I noticed that most were out when I got my car back after it was repaired from hitting a deer in February. The accident was documented by a NC state Trooper, the repairs were done by Graves Body Shop, Hamlet, NC.
When I went back to Graves to report the problem, he said it could not have been caused by the accident, but the console had also been moved from its position where I lean on it; my hand could have come off and hit it.
Hitting and killing the deer (that way) was a bit traumatizing and tore the front of my SUV up pretty good.
