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 day it just stopped doing it's job - I live in the high desert and it's HOT... so this sucks!
It first started not shutting off... I'd have to restart the car and then turn the car off a couple of times before it would stop too. Then, it quit blow cold air, then no heat no cold, finally just hot air.
started to be an issue from not turning off it was wearing down the battery. Finally, I disconnected it... but I need to get it fixed.
