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.

My 2006 Trailblazer windshield wipers come on when starting my vehicle, and won't turn off! and will spray the wiper fluid out as well, until it's completely gone. This happens EVERY time I start the car, now it happens all the time when driving will suddenly come on and emptying the fluid reservoir. You Tube all over showing its a bad wiper control module that is attached to the wiper motor.

I see over 36 complaints in the last year on the 2006 Trailblazer on this site, even more on previous years. Dealership states there is no recall

My wipers and washer fluid would not turn off. I found the cause on trailvoy.com. I had to pull the fuse out, under the backseat, so I could drive around.
