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.

The contact stated while driving on a slightly wet paved road another vehicle pulled out in front of contact's vehicle who maneuvered this vehicle to keep from hitting the other vehicle. The vehicle stalled, causing loss of control of the vehicle and sliding off the road. The vehicle was then driven to the dealership to investigate what caused the vehicle to stall. They were unable to duplicate the problem. Vehicle is still under warranty.
