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 have a 2005 Chevy trailblazer and for the last 8 months or so the engine is making a knocking noise so loud the radio hardly drowns it out. I am beginning to be afraid to drive it for fear that the cam shaft is going to fly through the windshield. I would like to get it looked at but I cannot afford to spend the money on it since I am on disability and have limited income. If anyone has experienced this with their Trailblazer please respond ASAP and let me know what is wrong and how the hell much this is going to cost me.
