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.
Low beams and daylight running lights did not come on. Had to drive with high beams. Eventually they did start working again. I have received a recall on this but have been told that no resolution for it yet. I contacted chevy.com about this and a few other electrical issues I am having and was told because of the age and mileage of my vehicle any repairs are now my responsibility!
This has happened twice already bought the part at Autozone with a Lifetime Warranty but after a couple of replacements they begin questioning and say get short fixed or they want continue to replace part at no charge.... I have talked to several people and they like their Trailblazer... But having so many problems and recalls is really the pits... I bought this vehicle since it was a lease vehicle thanking it would have been kept up, only had 34,000 miles on it... But with all the problems and recalls it makes me thank about SUV in general of the Chevrolet models.... May even consider a ford truck......
