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.
If it wasn't one problem it was another. Once I fixed something then something else went wrong. I can not get a break. I thought this was a good purchase but as soon as it went out of warranty everything is going wrong. my air bag sensor for my passenger seat stopped working while my grandmother was in the front seat. I saw that there was a recall on this, but when I called GM they said that there was not a recall on this.
BRAND NEW AT THE TIME. Dealership had it for a full month within the first 3 months of owning it. They said a wire was crimped under the trim as you get into the car. 5 years later, we are still having electrical problems. A/C fan, lights dim and go back to normal. Will repair a/c this time but never again.
