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.

car won't start again. turned key, nothing ,more than once I lost complete power while driving down the freeway . then it would take awhile for it to start again. it seems to be getting worse. I am going to take it back to the dealership and hope they can fix whatever is wrong with this undependable vehicle.
Every time I put key in switch it won't start, at first it would take a couple of tries and then it would start as time goes on it has progressively gotten worse, it now won't start today at all.
