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.

one morning I walked out to start the car , and when I turned the key , the lights started to flicker , all the locks started to click, and the lights flickered. then after that my driver side door window control will not work. all the other controls work except the driver side.
WHY WOULD WINDOWS JUST ALL STOP GOING DOWN THE FUSE IS GOOD IS IT ELECTRICAL? AND WHY IS IT WHEN YOU CALL SOMEONE AND IF IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN THEY SAYS ITS OK KNOW AND WONT CHECK THE ELECTRICAL LINES
Driver side window control fried in vehicle short. This problem could happen in any vehicle, but chevy made it interesting. A replacement part could not be furnished for 6 months, anywhere in US. Imagine that, chevrolet makes vehicles with no replacement parts. Went to junkyard and found one. GM said it would not work, has to be new part and needs to be programmed to my specific vehicle, for a charge of course. But htey could not supply one. Now overdue for inspection by 4 months because of no window. Gambled and tried the junkyard part and IT Worked. Thanks GM.
police pulled up beside the passenger side, front, to let us know about accident on bridge ahead in tunnel, window would not roll down. He flagged us over, then he came up to driver window and told us the problem.
