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.
Our low beams on our headlights suddenly stopped working, although the high beams and fog lights continued to work. We were told if the fuse block wasn't replaced immediately our engine could possibly start on fire.Very expensive repair, plus our mechanic wasn't sure what shorted out in the first place to cause this to happen, so we are not sure if this might happen again.
