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.

really awful

Most Common Solutions:
completely replace the entire back window and hinge (1 reports)
First off, Chevy "glues" yes, that's right, they glue the hinge to the window. If the glue fails, the auto body shops and auto glass shops can't repair it, you must purchase a complete new window and hinge from Chevy for over $1000, what a scam.
