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.

2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer headlights dimmed while driving for no reason. Vehicle brought to dealer, they stated it was normal due to an air pump turning on and off. I felt it was very dangerous due to other driver's thinking I am flashing the headlights at them. That happened about 10 times a week while driving at night. I have found online many other owners with the same problem. At the link below www.topix.net/forum/autos/Chevrolet-Trailblazer/tucllqk4uif5na0ut.
