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.

Really...? after all these years Chevy can't make a logo for their vehicles that can withstand the sun?

chevy emblem is peeling

This is the first of my many complaints about my Trailblazer. This is actually the second Trailblazer I have owned. The first one was a 2003 model and I loved it. II enjoyed it so much, I bought the 2005 model with the third row. This is a very minor complaint. The Chevy emblem above my rear license plate looks like it is deteriorating on the inside. I haven't checked to see if anything can be done about it because my warranty is expired.
