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.
My traction control maintenance light goes on and goes off. It started a year or so ago and I have no idea what the problem is. I have had all of the scheduled maintenance done and do not hot rod it at all. From speaking with mechanics and people at the auto parts stores, there may be a relay that has gone out. I'm not sure what it is, but since I've had so many other electronic issues with this POS, I am assuming it is just another defect. Maybe I am a Ford guy after all.
