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.
I have read online that the Chevrolet Trailblazer was the worst made vehicle between 2004 and 2007. I initially leased the vehicle, no problems except the windshield wipers stopped working on relay and only performed at high speed. The odometer hand dropped straight down periodically but whenever I took the vehicle in to get checked I was told they didn't find any problem. After the warranty ran I have had to spend so much money in repairs. Chevy you should be ashamed, your name held such high standards to the point where everyone wanted a Chevrolet but now people shake their heads and snort. I wish I could sue you for all the money I spent in major repairs.
