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.
I took my Trailblazer in to replace a bad tail light and the technician told me that the Red tail light that is above the back window was out and would have to be replaced. This is the long bus bar across the top of the back window. When he told me that is would be about $350-$400 to replace the LED bar, I said to forget it and I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a light that isn't even required. It is just the principle of the thing and these little aggravations could bleed us money wise.
