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.
Took the car to the dealership and they told me it that it wasn't the catalytic converter but everything past it. They quoted me $1,800. 00 to repair and the extended warranty I had purchased from them wouldn't cover it. What the hell? They guy felt bad and told me that it wouldn't hurt to drive it, which we have for a few years now, but the rattle has gotten a lot worse and is extremely embarrasing, to say the least.
