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 had my SUV since 2011 have had no problems with it until about Feb. 25,2019. I had my brakes replaced ftont and back along with the rotors. A week after that I was driving on the highway come up to a red light was slowing down and when I got to 10 mph it started to paulsate and wasn't for sure if I was going to stop completely. I finally did. I took it back to my mechanic he checked the ABS to see if the wheels were spinning at the same speed and they were. When I go down my driveway whick is a hill I'm not for sure if it's going to fully stop or go on out in the road, we are on a blind curve and it's rather scaring. Also I have a problem with the stablility and track light coming on and staying on, I just restart my SUV again for it to go off. It's both of the lights on the track and stablitity. My driver side seat belt is frilly on one side and getting thinner.

I filed a complaint on 5/1/2017 tracking number 10981579 cannot find a reply on your site. I took my SUV to dealer had it checked out it said that the selt belt pretensioners need to be replaced that they connect to airbags. We have not been in a accident so it would sem there is a problem with their belts. Chevorlet GM still say that I have to pay for repairs since there isn't ant waranty on SUV. But it is a safety issue due to malfuction with their belts.to have happened to two seatbelts it has to be in my opinion. And I do not want someone to get hurt because their seat belt can not unlock and they are trapped in their car.

I went to store vehicle was in park. When I went to unlocked my seat belt it would not unlock. I tried several times and my husband also tried.the belt would not loose up so that I could pull over my head to get out it just got tighter. Anyway we came back home and one of my neighbors tried to get me out.he had to undo bolt to belt and cut wire.to get me out. I do not know what caused this problem. The same thing happened to my husband seat belt last year and he has to pull over head to get in and out. I am a handicap person and worried about this happening to someone else and someone getting hurt.

I had my cruise set on 55 mph and was hit head on by VW jetta pulling out toward my vehicle, then forced to left into a telephone pole. Airbags didn't deploy, and received broken sternum. Don't know if seatbelt injured me, or if the seatbelt didn't lock on 2nd impact and possibly hit the steering wheel.

My 2007 Chevy Trailblazer driver's side seat belt will not latch in cold weather. GM will not replace the seat belt latch and wants to charge me $225. This is a mandatory safety device that should be warrantied for the life of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact was driving approximately 55 mph when he noticed that the front passenger automatic shoulder belt retractor became inoperable. The seat belt webbing would not extract. The failure occurred whenever the ignition key was turned into the on position. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they informed that the seat belt functioned normally. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure continued. The failure mileage and VIN were unavailable.
