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.

Vehicle has intermittent loud squeal at highway speed over 50 mph, usually during acceleration to pass. Sound appears to be coming from left front side of engine. Also happens while maintaining highway speed. Been to dealer and other service facilities. I have replaced both idler pulleys. Suggestions that it could be the A/C compressor/clutch, water pump or even power steering pump. No one has been able to pinpoint the noise. Does not seem to occur when A/C is on. Extended warranty is about to expire soon. Problem started in early April after replacing air filter, although that is not believed to connected to the problem. Being the noise is intermittent, it conveniently doesn't happen when mechanic is in the vehicle.
Any suggestions?
