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.
Since I last spoke I have had yet another problem pop up.
When applying the brakes, the pedal starts going down further and further till you hear a grinding noise then the ABS light comes on. All of this started happening after I had replaced the brake pads, the calipers,and the rotors. I took it to the shop and they tell me it's my ABS moduler and my porportion valve, a $1,075.00 cost, plus labor.
