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.

AT 40000 MILES THE ORANGE LIGHT GOES ON: CHECK ENGINE. I DO AND FIND NOTHING LOW, MISSING, LEAKING OR SMOKING. TAKE IT TO CHEVY. MY POLLUTION CONTROL MODULE GOT WET AND IS NOW INOPERABLE. REPLACE BOARD FOR 600.00. I DON'T GO STUMP-JUMPING WITH THIS SUV. IT'S A TO AND FROM WORK CAR ONLY. REAL DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVY OVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. CHEVY DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP, THOUGH.
