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.
HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND NO WARRANTY..SAME THING EVERY TIME THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG. I CHANGE BREAK PADS AND DRUMS, YET THERE IS SOME TYPE OF GRINDING SOUND IN THE FONT BREAKING SYSTEM. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE BREAK GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I CANNOT TAKE A ROAD TRIP BECAUSE I AM WORRIED THERE IS SOME THING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE BREAKS.
