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.

the dealer acted as if I was stupid and never own a car before. Really he acted as if we had never own a car before.I wanted him to place the car in a place on him that was not so nice.But, of course my better half, explain, talked and I get excited so it was said. I think, when you can bring them a check for what they are asking, regardless if you owe someone else the money, they are paid in "FULL", do not talk down to anyone black or Indian
Ok I think this is my last one! Also right after I got it back from getting the new transmission it would sometimes sound like it was in neutral while trying to shift gears. It'd shift then down shift several times. Then the first time I pulled a trailer it was empty it shifted so many times I don't think it stayed in the same gear for more than 5 min at a time!
