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 72 year old step mother drives this vehicle & wouldn't be able to steer it without the powering steering. Thankfully my father seen the puddle before her driving it so an accident didn't occur. This could have been fatal though if my father hadn't caught it because it's not like her power steering light was on or any sign that there was a problem.
