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.

Filled my vehicle up with gas and my gas gauge reads low fuel. Poor equipment is the cause this happened on a new SUV and they should fix them. The cost is over $500 dollars I understand that maintenance is my responsibility but a new truck should not have issues such as these. Also sometimes the transmission goes in neutral when I'm in drive and I lose power. The tech's cant find what the problem is. Also a code for the purge valve is on and the dealer cant find the problem. Please help.
