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.

Headed to work and driver failed to yield when making a left hand turn and crashed into the front left corner of my vehicle. I thought damage was pretty significant and was wondering why the airbags did not deploy. The officer was surprised they didn't deploy due to the amount of damage the other car caused. I'm fortunate I did not have any serious injuries other than a bump on my forehead and a slight cut from hitting the visor and garage door opener. I decided to Google this issue and it frightens me to find a forum where others have also had the same incident. I'm still waiting on the adjuster to come look at my car, not sure if they will total or repair, but after reading these complaints I'm hoping they total it.
