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.
About 3-4 times per week I can hear my engine through the front speakers, there will also be a crackling noise. After leaving the radio off for about 15 minutes, I can turn it back on and the noise is gone. Recently, I can hear my engine through the speakers even when the radio is off.
A continuation of 11/07 problem of engine noise in the speakers. If I accelerated, I would hear it in the speakers... along with a continual whine. They replaced one more speaker.
... A continuation of the problem of engine noise in the speakers. If I would accelerate, I would hear it in the speakers, along with a continual whine. I had the vehicle in for service on11/07, 02/08, 04/08, and numerous other times, but the noise always came back. They kept replacing speakers while it was under warranty, but that didn't take care of the problem. Now that it is not under warranty, I get to live with the problem. I would think it would be a short or something of that nature, but they never did get the problem taken care of. To make matters worse, the problem was intermittent... sometimes the speakers would be fine, and other times I would (and still do) get to listen to the whine.
The speakers had engine noise in them. If I would accelerate, I would hear it in the speakers. They replaced two of the speakers, but the problem continued.
