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.
Originally the AC wasn't blowing out cool air. Adding coolant did not resolve the problem. Took car to have it evaluated. Having to give it a full tune up was the least of my worries. Hearing the mechanic say the computer was malfunctioning and that it was not only effecting the cylinders but the transmission. That all but took the cake. I am so tired of the large auto bills and hearing that it's not worth fixing. It is my only car I am not in the position to put myself in debt buying a new car right now. Chevy get your s _ _ _ _ together. People drive their families around in these cars, safety first.
