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.

My Chevy is the XLT. Radio speakers not working on pasanger side. There are also times my CD player will stay stuck and the message on the radio says check CD. IF DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT is moved front or back it cause radio to act up. Once it start it takes about 3 weeks of adjusting the seat back and forth before it works again. Also the CD when removed from player are very hot. Speakers however take longer to come back on, if I hit a bump in the road they sometimes will just start working.
