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.
Backing out of a parking lot the traction control light and the wrench light came on. I took it to the garage and after 2 days they advised me it was the steering wheel sensor. They claim the sensor is $130 then there is labor to fix it. If I turn the engine off and then on again the lights go away. This is a recurring problem but doesn't require a recall because it's not a "Safety Issue". Will not buy another GM product in any near future!! Why can't these people take care of their customers. We put all our hard earned money into buying what we think will be a good family vehicle and we get a piece of crap that they won't stand behind.
