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.
I can't run my all time 4 wheel drive, or the 4 wheel high, down the road. If I try to drive down the road, on snow and ice is when you notice, in 4 wheel drive, it binds and pulls to the right. What good is having a 4 wheel drive that you can't use the 4 wheel drive in. If you run it in all time, or 4 hig, down the dry pavement, you don't notice the problem, but if you do that for very long, it smells like the belts are burning.
