NHTSA complaint #10326268, filed 2010-04, 40,000 miles“I bought this 2007 chevy Trailblazer and baby it like there was no tomorrow. Now everything is breaking. First it was the racking pinion steering. Some how the seal busted. Second, the fuel gauge began to register empty even though it was full and joint ball went bad making some vibration and squealing sound.
