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.

Fuel sender/gauge does not function. I bought this 07 Trailblazer brand new and it only has 31K miles. Problem started to occur around 27K miles and the dealer advised it was not covered under warranty!!! you would think with 70 complaints about this same issue, Chevy would do something about it!!! very disappointing. I just wish that was the only problem...tire monitor doesn't work, the A/C electrical system failed, and the check engine light is always on.
