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.
Went into garage and started vehicle to warm it up. Went inside house and about 15-20 minutes later I heard a loud explosion. Went into garage to investigate and saw that the rear hatch window had exploded for no reason at all. Thank God I was not standing behind vehicle when this happened or I would have had some serious injuries from the glass exploding everywhere. This trailblazer has been nothing but a headache since I bought it. Chevy needs to address the exploding window issue before someone gets hurt!
