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.
2nd major problem with this Trailblazer which is only 2 years old. The problem is intermittent - sometimes I get warning lights that the traction control is disabled. Very random, no rhyme or reason why this is happening. I got a 4x4 for a specific reasons since I live in the northeast. I need to be able to rely on the traction control system and have lost confidence in it. Especially given the other problems I am seeing with this SUV. It's evident that quality is no longer something you can expect to get from GM. I should never have switched from the foreign cars I have been leasing for the past 200 years. It will definitely be the last time I lease a GM.
