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.

This Trailblazer is turning into a Piece of Sh*t. One code after the other and now the damn wipers in front won't cut off...

Wipers would not shut off. Had to drive around town with them sticking up in the air swaying back and forth until I had enough money to get them fixed.

This is very annoying and I can't figure out what it is, I removed the fuse but still it continues, I guess I'll have to take it to the shop.
