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.

its a shame that the dealer and manufacturer know about this problem,its not warn or over used part like blower motor going bad this is under sized wires for the resistors power . a manufacturer mess up..a wiring harness melting is not the fault of the consumer. its shame we have a weak consumer protection agency ..and public service commission..and gm and ford knows this..that's why they don't fix the problems..if this was a toyota it would be recalled ..its a shame we try to buy American to keep Americans working.. i guess this is why most politicians personal vehicles foreign,,Mercedes, BMW, also motor was replaced at 70k miles speed odometer replaced at 79 k miles at my expense 4000.00..... oh yell my windows work sometimes? and my speed odometer works but now my gauges ..to many problems and in to deep to get rid of it...will not buy new gm until that start recalling problems..
