2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

AFTER I FILLED THE FUEL TANK IN MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN RESETTING MY TRIP METER WHEN EVER I FUEL UP,BUT MY HUSBAND FORGOT TO AFTER FILLING UP AND RAN OUT OF FUEL WHEN HE WASN'T SURE OF HOW MUCH GAS THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY HAD. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AFTER I FOUND THAT THE NHTSA HAD A DEFECT INVESTIGATION ON MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD ONLY BE REPLACED IF THE VEHICLE WAS 120,000 MILES OR UNDER AND UNTIL AUGUST 2015.NOW I HAVE 122,000 MILES I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART MYSELF? THE PROBLEM AND DANGER OF ENGINE STALL STILL EXISTS DUE TO LOW FUEL LEVELS NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS.THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DID NOT INFORM US THAT WE HAD TO DISPOSE OF THE VEHICLE AFTER 120,000 MILES BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE UNSAFE AND NO WARRANTY TO REPAIR A DANGEROUS RECALL.I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NO MATTER WHAT THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS BECAUSE THE DANGERS STILL EXIST.I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THIS AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT.... SO IT GOES, I WAS PREPARING FOR MY LONG ROAD TRIP TO YOSEMITE, AND HAD JUST FUELED UP. ONCE I TURNED ON THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE MOVING RANDOMLY, BACK AND FORTH. IT THEN STAYED ON EMPTY. WELL I CALLED OUR MECHANIC SINCE WE WERE LEAVING ON A ROAD TRIP AND HE RECOMMENDED I FILL UP AT EVERY 200 MILES TO BE SAFE. AFTER I WAS TOLD OF THE EXPENSE TO FIX IT, I CONTINUE TO PROLONG THE REPAIR AND DECIDED TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH INTO THIS SITUATION. I AM BAFFLED BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL BY GM. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND JUST TAKE IT DIRECTLY TO THEIR MECHANIC TO FIX. SHOULD EVERYONE BE REPORTING THE INCIDENT WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN THIS TO TURN INTO A RECALL. WELL IN HOPES THAT MY COMPLAINT HELPS...HERE IT GOES. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IT SUCKS NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU REALLY HAVE. *TR

AFTER PUTTING FUEL IN MY TANK, I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY FUEL GAUGE WAS BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. THIS WENT ON FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AS I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS. THEN THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND STAYED THERE AS WELL AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON. THE NEXT DAY THE GAUGE STAYED AT EMPTY AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I STOPPED BY MY MECHANIC TO HAVE THEM CHECK AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE. THEY CHECK THE CODE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR AND RIGHT AFTER THEY CHECKED THE CODE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO FULL. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND LET THEM KNOW IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT. I CLOSELY WATCHED THE FUEL GAUGE AND NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT MOVING EVEN AFTER DRIVING OVER 100 MILES IT WAS STILL SHOWING FULL. AT THIS TIME I STARTED LOGGING THE MILEAGE EACH WEEK I FILLED MY TANK AS I WAS CONCERNED THAT I WOULD RUN OUT OF FUEL BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY. THIS CONTINUED EVERY WEEK FOR MONTHS. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED DOING THIS MORE OFTEN DURING THE WEEK. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND HAD THE FUEL SENSOR REPLACED. SINCE THEN WITH ALL THE RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING I DECIDED TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS THAT WERE GOING ON AND NOTICED THE COMPLAINTS ON THE FUEL SENSOR. I SAW THAT THERE MAY BE A CHANCE THAT I COULD GET REIMBURSED FOR 50 PERCENT OF THE REPAIR WORK THAT I HAD TO HAVE DONE AS THEY WERE NOT DOING A FULL RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. IF THERE IS A CHANCE FOR REIMBURSEMENT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEP IS TO START THE PROCESS. *TR

FUEL SENSOR STOP WORKING ... EVEN IF YOU FILL THE TANK, FUEL GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY GRANDCHILD IN THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER , THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST . I TOOK IT AGAIN WITH A LETTER FROM OTHERS MECHANICS STATING IT THE FUEL SENSOR ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT , HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE. THE WANT TO CHARGE ME 900.00. CHEVY NEEDS TO GET THIS FIX... *TR

I JUST WANT TO GET SOME INFORMATION OUT THERE ON MY EXPERIENCE: BATTERY REPLACEMENT SEEM WAYS TOO OFTEN 8/2008, 10/2010, 9/2013 - AND THERE IS NO NOTICE UNTIL YOU CANNOT START IT ONE DAY. FIRST THING TO GO WAS THE IDLE PULLEY. I HAVE HAD THE WATER PUMP/THERMOSTAT/BELTS REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES 50K, 60K, 87K. HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS REPLACED AT LEAST 3 TIMES EACH. I HAVE HAD TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BLOCK PLATE MULTIPLE TIMES OR THE TB WILL STALL WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED OR HEAT/AC ON. I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY NON-OEM PARTS WHICH I NEVER REPLACED (I PURCHASED USED W/17K MILES) AND NOTHING SHOWED UP ON CAR FAX OR OTHER REPORTS ABOUT ACCIDENTS OR REPAIRS. I HAD THE GAS GUAGE/TANK/FLOAT REPAIRED WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY STILL AND THEN A YEAR LATER IT BROKE AGAIN, AND I AM STILL RIDING WITH IT BROKEN (AT LEAST THE LAST 5 YEARS), WHICH OF COURSE KEEPS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON NEARLY ALL THE TIME. I JUST LOCATED THE NOTICE THAT GM IS NOW DOING 100% OF THE REPAIR AND I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED AS I WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. I FILL EVERY 200 MILES. THERE ARE OTHER MINOR ISSUES SUCH AS INTERIOR LIGHTS GOING OUT, BOTH OF THE FRONT SEATS HAVE DETACHED FROM THE SIDE MOLDING (ONLY 1 LITTLE SCREW HOLDS THEM IN), THE REAR WASHER HAS NOT WORKED IN ABOUT 6 YEARS. I ALSO HAVE LOUD NOISES COMING OUT OF THE TIRES/WHEELS AND NO ONE CAN DETERMINE AN EXACT CAUSE, BUT IT'S NOT THE BRAKES OR ROTORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I CURRENTLY HAVE UNDER 89K MILES. I AM WAITING FOR THE DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO GO NEXT AS THAT SEEMS LIKE WHAT IS NEXT ON THE LIST OF TB ISSUES. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND VEHICLE IS AT TIMES LOSING FUEL PRESSURE. *TR

FOR MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN IN TO CHEVROLET FOR A RECALL REPAIR AND NOW IT SEEMS TO HAVE ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS! MY FUEL GAUGE IN THE TANK IS NO LONGER WORKING, MY A/C WAS WORKING ONE DAY BUT NOT THE NEXT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF, IT'S DUMPING FUEL, THE THERMOSTAT HAD TO BE REPLACED...WHEN DO THE PROBLEMS END? NOW COME TO FIND OUT AFTER HAVING MY BLOWER MOTOR REPLACED THE CONNECTOR FOR THE ELECTRICAL HAS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF MELTING ISSUE WHICH POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE!!! OF COURSE GENERAL MOTORS WANTS AND ARM AND A LEG TO REPLACE IT!!!! I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS! IF IT HAD CAUGHT FIRE WHICH I AM SURE IF PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD OR DON'T GET THEIR VEHICLES PROPERLY CHECKED THERE WILL BE ONE THAT HAPPENS TO, IT COULD KILL SOMEONE! SEEMS LIKE A LIABILITY WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR

THIS IS TO REPORT A DEFECT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSING SYSTEM. THIS IS TO DOCUMENT MY CLAIM FOR RECALL PURPOSES. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO INCIDENTS, BUT I AM REPORTING THE FIRST INCIDENT TO KEEP THIS REPORT SHORT. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE FUEL INDICATOR SHOWED ABOUT FULL, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT DROPPED TO LESS THAN EMPTY AND MY FUEL LIGHT ENGAGED. AS I WAS DRIVING TO GET TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION, THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, I WAS IN A POSITION TO LET THE VEHICLE ROLL AROUND A CORNER. IT WAS IN A DANGEROUS PLACE JUST AS CARS WERE COMPLETING THE TURN. I PUT THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BEFORE AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. IT WAS ALSO FORTUNATE THAT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE BESIDES MYSELF. THE OTHER REASON WHY THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IS I HAVE A RARE MEDICAL CONDITION THAT AFFECTS MY LUNGS AND HEART. IT PLACED ME IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS POSITION TO HEAT EXPOSURE. I HAVE A HARD TIME BREATHING IN HEAT AND HUMIDITY. AGAIN, FORTUNE WAS ON MY SIDE, AND THERE WAS A TREE FOR SHADE TO WAIT FOR HELP AND IT WAS ONE MONTH BEFORE IT GOT DANGEROUSLY HOT. GRANTED, THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN TO A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY PLACE ME IN THE SAME POSITION, BUT IN THIS CASE, ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OCCURRED AND WHEN I CALLED A LOCAL MECHANIC, IT WAS WELL KNOWN THAT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I AM AMONG MANY THAT HAS MADE THIS COMPLAINT AND PLACED IN DANGEROUS PREDICAMENTS. TO REPLACE A SMALL SENSOR COSTS A WHOLE MONTHS INCOME IN MY CASE. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS APPROPRIATE TO REQUIRE A CONSUMER TO PAY AND REPLACE A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS MY INTENT THIS ONGOING INVESTIGATION COMES TO A CLOSE, AS I HAVE SEEN REPORTS SINCE 2011. *TR

AFTER STARTING THE CAR, I WATCHED THE HALF TANK FUEL GAUGE DROP TO EMPTY. I WENT TO FILL UP THE TANK AND IT DIDN'T TAKE BUT ABOUT A HALF A TANK. THE GAUGE STILL SHOW EMPTY AND WARNING LOW FUEL WAS ON. SOON THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE. THE FUEL GAUGE CONTINUES TO SHOW EMPTY.. THE TANK IS FULL. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH THE FUEL GAGE. NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I PUT IN THE GAGE SHOOTS TO OVER FULL, THEN WITHIN A DAY GOES TO EMPTY AND WARNING LIGHT GOES ON. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AS MY CAR'S WARRANTY EXPIRED 6 MONTHS AGO, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBLEM THE GAS TANK UNIT OR SENDER AND THAT IT COULD COST UP TO $1000 TO FIX. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I COME ACROSS SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS TO THIS SAME EFFECT AND GM IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY FOR 50% OF THE REPAIR COSTS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 43,000 MILES AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM AD GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FULL PAYMENT OF REPAIRS. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING, MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM, IT SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW STARTED OPENING AND CLOSING INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE SIDE MIRROR STARTED MOVING FORWARD AND BACKWARD INDEPENDENTLY AND WITHOUT ACTIVATION. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT ITSELF OFF AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD BECOME INOPERABLE. ALSO, NONE OF THE DOORS COULD BE UNLOCKED AND THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE CONTACT WOULD BE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE POWER WINDOW MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE, CAUSING ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V406000: (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BUT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, OFFERING NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE READ 3/4 OF A TANK SO WE DID NOT STOP TO GET GAS, THINKING WE HAD ENOUGH TO GET HOME. 3MIN LATER WE RAN OUT ON THE HWY WITH 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR 2 THAT ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 2 . *TR

Mileage: 85,000

THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS AT THE GAS STATION AFTER I FILLED UP. OVER THE PAST 8 MONTHS IT BECAME WORSE AND NOW IT STAYS ON EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM A BMW DEALER JUST LAST JULY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN WHERE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS THAT MAY INVOLVE A FUEL SENSOR. *JB

GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES, FILLED GAS TANK, MOMENTS LATER IT WENT DOWN TO EMPTY (WARNING LIGHT AND SOUND WENT OFF). THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST WEEK. PRIOR TO THIS THE CHECK ENGINE WOULD SPORADICALLY GO OFF AND ON, PROBABLY AN EARLY INDICATOR THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. *TR

GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NEEDLE JUMPS FROM FULL TO EMPTY TO HALF, ETC. WHILE DRIVING. UNABLE TO GAUGE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD READ EMPTY WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 88,000.

Mileage: 88,000

FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY BECAME INACCURATE. READS EMPTY AND CHIMES EMPTY EVEN WHEN FULL. SINCE IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, IT HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS MORE THAN ONCE IN PAST THREE YEARS. RECEIVED BLANKET OFFER FROM MANUFACTURER TO COVER HALF OF THE EXPENSE, SO THEY KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE, BUT SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL FOR SAFETY. *TR

Mileage: 67,000

EVERYTIME I WOULD FILL UP THE CAR, IT WOULD GO TO E WITH THE LIGHT ON AND NOW IT STAYS ON EMPTY. CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GA IS IN IT. IT SHOULD BE A CHEVROLET RECALL SINCE IT IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF CHEVROLET OWNS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AFTER FILL UP. USUALLY RETURNS TO NORMAL IN A FEW DAYS. *TR

Mileage: 102,000

MY GAS GAUGE WENT BAD AND AT FIRST I WAS NOT AWARE AND MY CAR JUST LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. NOW ITS GOING TO COST ME 500.00 TO FIX AND GM DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS STEP UP TO THE PLATE THIS IS NUTS!!!! I HAVE READ MULTIPLE WEBSITES AND I AGREE WITH EVERY ANGRY AND UPSET CUSTOMER IF IT A DEFAULT THEN IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

WINDOW DOESN'T ROLL DOWN OR STAY UP. GAS GAUGE BROKE .. ENGINE LIGHT AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER LIGHT STAYS ON. HANDLE DESIGN ON DOOR CAME OFF. ENGINE WENT OUT DUE TO A PISTOL LOOSE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAD THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL AT 98,000 MILES AT THIS TIME I WENT IN TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART ONLY TO FIND THAT ONE WAS NOT AVAILABLE SO WITH NO OTHER OPTION WE DROVE IT WITHOUT A FUEL LEVEL GAUGE THEN GM SENT OUT A SPECIAL OPTION COVERAGE LETTER STATING THAT THEY WOULD COVER 50% OF THE PARTS AND LABOR OF THE REPAIR SO I AGAIN LOOKED INTO A REPLACEMENT PART AND FOUND THAT ONE WAS NOW AVAILABLE SO I HAD THE REPAIR DONE. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT NOW GM IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 142000 MILES ON IT AFTER SPENDING MONTHS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT I HAD THE BBB LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND GOT NO WHERE SO I HAD THE STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL LOOK INTO IT AND GOT NO WHERE NOW IT IS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO SAY ENOUGH AND FORCE GM TO RECALL ALL 865,000 VEHICLES AND DO THE RIGHT THING ALREADY. I REALLY DON'T CARE IF THIS WILL BANKRUPT THEIR COMPANY THAT IS THE RISK THAT THEY TAKE WHEN THEY PUT DEFECTIVE PARTS INTO THE MARKET AND THEN DON'T DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE THEM AT THEIR OWN COST NOT PASS THE COST ONTO THEIR CUSTOMERS AS THEY ARE TRYING TO DO. *TR

Mileage: 98,000

I JUST PURCHASED A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE TENDS TO GO BALLISTIC WHEN IT WANTS AND WHERE IT WANTS. IT'S LIKE MY TRUCK CAN NOT DECIDE IF THERE IS GAS IN THE TANK OR NOT. I FIND THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. ALL I CAN FIND ONLINE IS GM IS OFFERING TO PAY HALF ON SELECTED MODELS AS LONG AS THEY MEET REQUIREMENTS. OK THE GOVERNMENT BAILED GM OUT, HOW COME THEY CAN'T BE FORCED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THAT THEIR SHODDY PARTS CREATED?!?!? FROM WHAT I'VE FOUND, THIS IS A VERY WIDE RANGE PROBLEM. CONSIDERING I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO EVEN PAY HALF FOR THE REPAIR.....SO WHAT, I'M JUST STUCK LIKE CHUCK? AT LEAST FORD FIXES THEIR SCREW UPS! *TR

Mileage: 58,400

AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR YEARLY INSPECTION MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR BEARINGS ARE BAD AND THAT IT NEEDS IMMEDIATE REPAIR. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE MAY GIVE ME PROBLEMS AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE TO HAVE A VEHICLE I CAN DEPEND ON TO DRIVE MY HUSBAND TO AN OUT OF TOWN HOSPITAL AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, AND DRIVE ON AN EXTREMELY BUSY HIGHWAY.(THE SCHUYKILL EXPRESSWAY) MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND THIS DOESN'T USUALLY TILL AT LEAST 100,000 MILES. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE GAS GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED FOR TWO YEARS, AGAIN THIS IS UNSETTLING BECAUSE OF DRIVING OUT OF TOWN AT ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. GENERAL MOTORS SAID THEY WOULD PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR BUT WHY MUST I PAY ANYTHING WHEN IT IS APPARENT THAT THE PART THEY USED WAS FAULTY. *TR

AS MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER IS HAVING A FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT PROBLEM, THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY THEN SHOOT UP TO HALF FULL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WILL COST APPROX 600. TO 700.00 WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD . I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO FORCE GM TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ISSUE A RECALL SEEING THAT SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, WE HEADED DOWN THE ROAD. A DINGING STARTED SO I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE THAT MY GAS GAUGE WAS READING E. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS VEHICLE I FOUND OUT THAT IF I SET MY TRIP TO NOT GO OVER 200 MILES BEFORE FILLING THE GAS TANK, DUE TO THE GAUGE ALWAYS READS E. AFTER A WHILE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD THEM HOOK IT UP TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS THE SENDING UNIT THAT WAS READING BAD. WE HAVE E-CHECK IN OUR STATE. MY VEHICLE FAILED BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I NOW HAVE TO SPEND AT LEAST 300.00 TO GET THIS FIXED SO THAT MY VEHICLE WILL PASS E-CHECK SO THAT I CAN GET THE TAGS THAT I NEED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE AND DISAPPOINTMENT FOR US. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER I FILL UP WITH GASOLINE. *TR

I HAVE SEVERAL TIMES NOW BEEN DRIVING WITH 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND RUN OUT OF FUEL. NOW TODAY I FILL THE TANK AND THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON. I JUST PUT IN 22 GALLONS SO I KNOW IT IS NOT EMPTY. I HAVE HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES ONLINE AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, THIS OCCURS THROUGH NO FAULT OF OWNER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE PROVIDED AN ERRONEOUS EMPTY READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,500.

DRIVERS DOOR CONTROL PANEL BURNED CAUSING FAILURE OF DOOR LOCKS,WINDOWS,ETC. GAS GAUGE CONTINUALLY SHOWED INCORRECT AMOUNTS OF FUEL CAUSING RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. REPLACED THE PART AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN.CHEVROLET TOOK NO BLAME.RECENTLY CHEVY NOTIFIED ALL OWNERS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY WILL FIX UP TO 1/2 OF THE ACTUAL COST.(MY SHARE WILL BE $218 FOR THEIR MISTAKE) BACK TAIL LIGHTS HAVE BLOWN OUT OVER AND OVER AGAIN SINCE PURCHASE. FINALLY REPLACED ENTIRE UNITS ON MY OWN ANDIT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. CONTACTED CHEVROLET DEALER AND CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE.WENT TO DEALER AND HAD THE TAILLIGHTS REPAIRED BUT CHEVY AGAIN TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY BUT KINDLY SENT ME A$1000 VOUCHER FOR USE ON A NEW PURCHASE OF A CHEVROLET.THE DEALER REPAIR COST WAS APPRX.$680. STILL OWN THE VEHICLE AND WILL HAVE MAKE FUEL GAUGE REPAIR. *TR

MY TRAILBLAZER HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS SOME OTHER ONES THAT I HAVE READ ON HERE. MY GAS GAUGE QUIT COMPLETELY, AT FIRST IT WOULD READ FULL THEN GO DOWN AND NOW IT STAYS ON EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON. IF THERE ARE SO MANY TRAILBLAZERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL AND WHY ISN'T CHEVROLET FIXING THIS INSTEAD OF PUTTING IT ON THE CONSUMER TO DO IT. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAS LUCKY THAT I COULD MANEUVER IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING ON FOR SOME PEOPLE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? WHEN IT DIES NOTHING WORKS AND YOU ARE STUCK WHERE IT DIES. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET AND THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY SHOULDN'T BE PUTTING FAULTY THINGS ON VEHICLES AND NOT OWN UP TO IT. THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. ALSO I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE FUEL PUMP SHOULD BE REPLACED NOT JUST THE SENSOR. *TR

I FILLED UP AND THE METER IMMEDIATELY POINTED TOWARDS EMPTY THEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. READS EMPTY 95% OF THE TIME. THE NEEDLES WILL RAISE TO THE 1/4 LINE AND DROP WITHIN SECONDS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND FUEL GAUGE REMAINED ON EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK UP. I NOW HAVE TO GUESS AS TO MY FUEL AMOUNT AND FILL UP EVERY 300 MILES TO BE SAFE SO AS TO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD SON IN THE CAR. THE COST ESTIMATE FOR REPLACING THIS COMPONENT IS OVER $800 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. I BELIEVE THAT WITH SO FEW MILES AND SUCH A COMMON COMPLAINT, GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL SO NO ONE RUNS OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND GETS REAR ENDED. *TR

Mileage: 86,000

GAS GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING ALL OF THE SUDDEN. EVEN AFTER I FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP, THE GAS GAUGE IS UNRESPONSIVE. IT READS AS EMPTY AND THE WARNING SIGN/BEEPS CONTINUE THROUGHOUT MY DRIVE. I HAVEN'T CALLED CHEVY YET BECAUSE I WANTED TO LOOK ONLINE TO SEE THE ESTIMATED COST AND POSSIBLE CAUSES. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, THERE ARE ABOUT A MILLION OTHER CHEVY CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IS THERE A REASON A RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED YET? I READ CHEVY DOESN'T CONSIDER THIS A "SAFETY" ISSUE THEREFORE NO RECALL HAS BEEN EXTENDED. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WOULD THINK YOUR CAR DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT AND BEING STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. OR YOUR CAR DYING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75MPH..AGAIN PRETTY SERIOUS SITUATION. HOW ABOUT IF I'M DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND MY CAR DIES BECAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. THEN I GET T-BONED AND AM AT BEST IN CRITICAL CONDITION AT THE HOSPITAL. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS IN FACT A SAFETY ISSUE. IS IT NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL WE HAVE REPORTED DEATHS BECAUSE OF IT. I'M ABOUT TO DEPLOY TO AFGHANISTAN AND WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE LEAVING THIS ISSUE FOR MY WIFE TO DEAL WITH. I PRAY THAT NOTHING HAPPENS TO HER OR MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER BECAUSE SOMEONE WASN'T MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT THEY WERE AT FAULT AND ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX A PROBLEM SO MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM CHEVROLET OR GM FOR THAT. SO DISAPPOINTED. *TR

Mileage: 60,200

AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE, GAS GAUGE GOES TO E, WITH LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT/BUZZER GOING OFF. AFTER TRAVELLING 30-40 MILES, GAS GAUGE GOES TO NORMAL. AFTERWARDS, GAUGE IS ERRATIC, AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL YOU REALLY HAVE LEFT, WITHOUT KNOWING YOUR FUEL MILEAGE AND HOW MANY MILES YOU HAVE DRIVEN ON A TANK OF GAS SO FAR. NOW GAUGE WILL GO E, EVEN WITH 1/4 TANK OF GAS REMAINING. *TT

LAST NIGHT ON 01/17/12 I FILLED MY TRUCK WITH GAS AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IT STARTED DINGING AT ME AND THE GAS GAUGE WAS STUCK ON EMPTY. THIS MORNING I STARTED THE TRUCK AND DROVE TO WORK AND THE FUEL GAUGE KEPT MOVING AND READING DIFFERNT AMOUNTS. I PLACED A CALL TO GM AND THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT SAY IT'S NOT A SAFETY CONCERN SO NO RECALL WAS ISSUED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR THAT COULD ONLY BE DONE THRU AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME NOT TO KNOW IF I HAVE FUEL AND I HAVE TO PAY GM MORE MONEY WHEN THEY ARE FULLY AWARE THAT THEY USED FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

COUPLE MONTHS LATER AND APPROX MILEAGE 60000, THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM DASH LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND OFF. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED CHEVY ABOUT THE OTHER TWO ISSUES AS I FELT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING THE SAME AS THE HEAD PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

FILLED UP THE VEHICLE AT THE GAS STATION AND WHEN VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED FUEL GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY. FUEL GAUGE HAS SINCE NOT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. *TR

FUEL USUALLY READS EMPTY. EVEN AFTER FILL UP. SOMETIMES WANDERS FROM 1/4 TO 1/2 THEN DROPS AGAIN. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER FUELING UP, WILL GO OUT AFTER AN HR OF DRIVING .. GIVE OR TAKE. KNOWING THAT THIS MANY PEOPLE ALL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, STEP UP AND LOOK AFTER IT!!!! RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS...BUT DOES NOT MAKE FOR HAPPY CUSTOMERS OR REPEAT BUSINESS. *TR

Mileage: 89,000

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILL UP AND NOW READS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. *TR

Mileage: 75,000

GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY EVEN AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN FILLED UP. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FOR A YEAR. HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE FREEWAY ON 4 OCCASIONS. *TR

GOT FULL TANK OF GAS. FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. APPEARS TO FIX SELF THEN DROPS TO EMPTY MORE. FUEL GAUGE COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. HAVE TO USE TRIP METER NOW TO JUDGE GAS LEVEL. DANGEROUS IF I RUN OUT OF GAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

Mileage: 58,460

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH FUEL GAUGE DROPS FROM 3/8 FULL TO ZERO. OTHER GAUGES SUCH AS OIL PRESSURE, COOLANT TEMPERATURES ALSO DROPS TO ZERO. ALSO SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE AND ANTI LOCK BREAK TURN ON. I STOPPED THE CAR SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER ADDING 2 GALLONS OF GAS IT STARTED AGAIN BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO GAS STATION I COULD ONLY ADD ABOUT 11 GALLONS INTO A 24 GALLON TANK. SO I BELIEVE THE READING AT 3/8 FULL WAS CORRECT BEFORE IT WENT TO ZERO. THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED AGAIN WHEN WE HAD 3/4 TANK FULL, THIS TIME OUR FAMILY WAS STRANDED OUT OF TOWN. *TR

Mileage: 85,125

CHEVROLET SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE FUEL SENSOR. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY HALF FOR REPLACING A FAULTY PRODUCT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FOR IT TO RUN PERFECTLY. SINCE THE PROBLEM WE HAVE TWICE BEEN STUCK ON THE ROAD WITH NO GAS. TRYING TO ESTIMATE FUEL CONSUMPTION FOR OUR NEXT FILL UP IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE HEARD OF DRIVERS RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *KB

FUEL GAUGE INOPERABLE, FUEL GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. EVEN AFTER A FILL-UP OF THE GAS TANK. *KB

Mileage: 97,899

FILLED FUEL TANK FULL, AND STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY. FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO EMPTY AND LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. MOMENTS LATER, FUEL GAUGE RETURNED TO A FULL READING, AND LOW FUEL LIGHT WENT OFF. MOMENTS LATER WHILE DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE AGAIN DROPPED TO EMPTY AND LOW FUEL LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO THEN CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. NOW FUEL GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY DROPS TO EMPTY AND LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON, THEN GAUGE RETURNS TO FULL READING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. DANGEROUS POTENTIAL TO RUN OUT OF FUEL AS HAVE NO IDEA AS TO ACTUAL GAS IN TANK. UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS AND SIMILAR GM VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED HER THAT THE GASOLINE SENSOR WAS NOT READING THE FUEL PROPERLY. THE DEALER ALSO ADVISED HER THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 145,000.

Mileage: 145,000

FUEL SENDING UNIT BEGAN SENDING INTERMITTENT FALSE READINGS, RESULTING IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS MID-INTERSECTION, WHILE ON FREEWAYS WHERE THE LOSS OF SPEED MIGHT RESULT IN AN OBSTRUCTION OF TRAFFIC, IN MID-ACCELERATION WHERE THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION MIGHT RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS AND SURROUNDING VEHICLES, OR WHILE DRIVING WHILE GAUGE INDICATOR INDICATED THE AVAILABILITY OF FUEL WITHIN THE SYSTEM TO PERFORM COMBUSTION. *TR

I WAS RUNNING LOW OF FUEL SO I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO REFILL. AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING THE TANK AND STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE WAS ON EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LEVEL LIGHT WAS LIT. SINCE THEN, THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES AND DOES NOT DISPLAY THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL. I HAVE BEEN RELYING ON THE TRIP ODOMETER TO ESTIMATE MY FUEL USAGE SO THAT I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. ABOUT A MONTH PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE AFFECTING ME, I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GENERAL MOTORS DESCRIBING THIS ISSUE A OFFERING TO COVER 50% OF THE REPAIR COST. OBVIOUSLY, THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING A GREAT NUMBER OF VEHICLES AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 53,000

FOUR DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE NEEDLE WAS ON EMPTY. THERE WAS 3/4 TANK OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE. THEN THE NEEDLE PROCEEDED TO SLOWLY RISE TO HALF FULL, AND GO DOWN AND UP SPORADICALLY. SINCE THEN IT CONTINUES TO FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN. EVEN AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK A DAY AGO, THE NEEDLE STILL SPORADICALLY FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. THE VEHICLE HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

Mileage: 49,000

AFTER CHANGING THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY, THE FUEL SYSTEM, AIR SYSTEM AND 4X4 SYSTEM HAVE ALL FAILED. GMC IS AWARE OF MY ISSUE AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS. THEY REFUSE TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE, THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

Mileage: 80,000

ABOUT 4-5 MONTHS AGO MY FUEL SENSOR STARTED SAYING THAT IT WAS EMPTY WHEN I JUST FILLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME. AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES OR SO THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND SEEM LIKE NORMAL FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN THE GAS GAUGE WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH. ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY! ALSO THE NECK OF THE GAS PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IS ANOTHER $300.00!! I RECEIVED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A RECALL NOTICE BUT IT IS ACTUALLY A LIMITED WARRANTY STATING THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR 50% TO GET THIS PART FIXED. OBVIOUSLY GM IS AWARE THAT THIS PART IS FAULTY AND YET WE ARE BEING FORCED TO PAY 50%!!!! THEY SHOULD BE COVERING 100% OF IT. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. MY FUEL GAUGE SENSOR IS GOING OUT. I JUST FILLED MY TANK AND IT TELLS ME IT IS EMPTY. I AM TOLD CHEVROLET WILL PAY HALF THE COSTS BUT IT WILL STILL COST ME $200. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAN ANY I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED. IF THIS IS SUCH A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? *TR

I FILLED MY GAS TANK. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE GAS GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR TWO WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN SETTING A TRIP MILEAGE GAUGE TO INSURE THAT I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. I RECEIVED A NOTICE A WHILE BACK FROM CHEVROLET STATING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. THEY DO NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY IN THE FORM OF A RECALL, BUT WILL DISCOUNT THE REPAIRS. I THREW WAY THE NOTICE AS I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE YET TO CONTACT MY CHEVROLET DEALER, AS I AM CONSIDERING MY OPTIONS. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER PROVIDES AN ACCURATE READING. VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO EMPTY GAS TANK WITH GAS GAUGE SHOWING 1/2 TANK. OCCURRED AT 48,000 MILES. THE GAS GAUGE CAN NO LONGER BE RELIED UPON CREATING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION SHOULD FUEL RUN OUT AND A STALL OCCUR. *TR

Mileage: 48,000

MY FUEL INDICATOR HAS ALL SORTS OF MIS-READINGS. EXAMPLES: READS EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT ON WHEN JUST FILLED, BEGINS TO READ SOMEWHERE NEAR 3/4 AT A MILEAGE POINT, (50), THAT IT USUALLY READS FULL. VERY ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING TO DRIVER. DISTRACTS THE DRIVERS ATTENTION TO DRIVING. DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *KB

Mileage: 65,700

THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING. EVEN AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, IT READS THAT IT'S ON EMPTY, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE IS A LOW FUEL LEVEL MESSAGE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS; IT STARTED OUT WITH THE NEEDLE BOUNCING AROUND THE GAUGE BUT NOW IT JUST SITS ON EMPTY. I AM TAKING IT IN FOR REPAIR BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I TRULY EVER HAVE. *KB

Mileage: 75,000

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED REGISTERING THE CORRECT LEVEL. IT CONSTANTLY SHOWS EMPTY AND THEN GOES ERRATICALLY FROM EMPTY TO FULL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. CHEVY HAS MAILED ME A LETTER STATING THEY WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY NOW HAVE ALMOST 1 MILLION VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AND THEY WONDER WHY AMERICANS PURCHASE FOREIGN (DEPENDABLE) CARS! GM NEEDS TO MAN UP AND PAY FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR!!!!! *TR

Mileage: 59,445

WHEN REFUELING FOR GAS, MY GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY AFTER THE TANK WAS COMPLETELY FULL. IT CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE REGISTERING EMPTY, HALF FULL, ETC. THIS HAS CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON EVERY TIME THE TRUCK IS REFUELED. THE LIGHT CAN BE TURNED OFF WHEN YOU OPEN AND RECLOSE THE GAS LID. THIS HAS TO BE DONE EVERY TIME THE TRUCK IS REFUELED IN ORDER TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF. AS A RESULT YOU NEVER KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I AM UNABLE TO TELL TRULY HOW MUCH GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE TO REFUEL EVERY TWO TO THREE DAYS BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE I TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK/ DOCTOR'S APPT. THANK YOU *TR

Mileage: 114,000

THE TRUCK FUEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL. THE EMPTY SENSOR LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY AND OCCASIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON DUE TO THE EMPTY TANK INDICATOR. *TR

Mileage: 57,000

WHILE DRIVING OUR GAS GAUGE WENT DOWN TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A FULL TANK. THIS POSED A SAFETY HAZARD AS WE WERE THEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS WE ACTUALLY HAD. IT SEEMS THE FUEL GAUGE IS FAULTY. THIS COULD LEAD TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. *TR

CAR RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR. GAUGE STILL READ OVER A QUARTER OF A TANK. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR INOP. STARTED WHERE IT TOOK AWHILE TO READ, NOW IT NO LONGER READ AND IS STOCK ON EMPTY. SOMETIME CAUSES ERRATIC IDLE OR STALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FULL OF FUEL. THE WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE GM MANUFACTURER WOULD COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST WHICH HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR $136. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,566.

Mileage: 84,566

THE FUEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. GM SENT OUT A FORM STATING THE SENSOR ON CERTAIN YEARS OF THE TRAILBLAZERS WOULD STOP WORKING PREMATURELY AND THE COMPANY WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY HALF THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL. IT SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR FREE.

I AM SUBMITTING ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS, WITH REGARDS TO FUEL LEVEL SENSOR PROBLEMS, THAT GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED A FAULTY PRODUCT WAS INSTALLED ON SUCH VEHICLES AND OFFERED TO PAY 50% OF REPAIR COSTS TO FIX THE FUEL LEVEL SENSORS/TRANSMITTERS - BY SENDING LETTERS TO CURRENT OWNERS. A RECALL IS THE RIGHT WAY GOING FORWARD!! IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THIS COULD BE ADDRESSED/ENFORCED? THANK YOU *TR

Mileage: 49,000

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. SHOWS EMPTY ALWAYS, LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON, AND LOW FUEL BELL RINGS AT RANDOM. CHEVY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AS I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER WHERE THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF THE REPAIR. I FEEL THEY SHOULD PAY FOR ALL OF IT, SINCE IT IS THEIR FAULTY DESIGN CAUSING THE ISSUE. AND THEY ARE LIMITING REPAIRS TO UP TO 120K MILES. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE QUALIFIES, I FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX IT REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE AT 100 PERCENT! *TR

Mileage: 72,000

IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, THE FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY BECAME ERRATIC. WHEN FUEL WAS NEAR EMPTY, IT WOULD READ "FULL" OR "HALF FULL". THE ENGINE REPAIR LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF INCONSISTENTLY DURING THE SAME TIME. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE QUALITY OF GASOLINE, BUT TRYING DIFFERENT BRANDS DID NOT HELP. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN MY TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD READ "E" FOR EMPTY, WITH THE NEEDLE NEVER MOVING FROM "E". IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE TO RESET MY TRIPOMETER WHEN FILLING UP ON A NEW TANK OF GAS, SO I KNOW ABOUT 250 MILES, I NEED TO FILL UP AGAIN. IF I DON'T DO THIS, I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS, CAUSE A CRASH, OR A FATAL ACCIDENT SINCE MY GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY. I HAVE READ MANY BLOG AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE 2006 TRAILBLAZER. I UNDERSTAND THE REPAIR AND PARTS WILL BE ABOUT $800.00. IN AUGUST 2011, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM INDICATING THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL SENSOR AND THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY HALF THE COST FOR REPAIR, BUT I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FAULTY SENSOR AT "NO CHARGE" TO THE OWNER. *TR

ACTUALLY THE ISSUE JUST STARTED TODAY AND I GOT THE LETTER FROM GM STATING THEY INSTALLED A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND ARE OFFERING TO PAY 50% IF WE HAVE IT FIXED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. SOUNDS LIKE CHEVY IS JUST TRYING TO DO DAMAGE CONTROL WITH THERE 50% OFFER. I THINK ITS MAKING THINGS WORSE BECAUSE THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS SINCE THEY ARE ADMITTING TO THE FAULTY SENSOR. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR THIS TO BECOME A RECALL? THANKS *TR

FUEL SENSOR DOES NOT WORK. CHEVY IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUED A DEAL TO PAY FOR HALF THE COST ONLY IF THE CAR HAS UNDER 120,000 MILES OR IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD. WE ARE OVER THE MILEAGE LIMIT, BUT THIS PROBLEM CAUSED OUR CAR TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON A CURVY, MOUNTAIN ROAD WITH LARGE COAL TRUCKS SPEEDING BY. WE RAN OUT IN A PLACE WHERE WE COULD NOT PULL FAR ENOUGH OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WERE ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL PASSING VEHICLES. WE COULDN'T START THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO DRIFT IT BACKWARDS DOWNHILL TO A SAFER PLACE. VERY DANGEROUS!!! *KB

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. DEALER QUOTED $1000.00 TO REPAIR IT. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON TRAILBLAZERS I HAVE FOUND FROM RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE.

CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 2006- GAS GAGE- I FILLED UP MY CAR WITH GASOLINE TWO NIGHTS AGO (8/30/11) AND FOUND AS I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK THIS MORNING THAT MY GAS GAGE READ I WAS ON EMPTY. AFTER REFILLING 3 MORE GALLONS (UNTIL IT WAS FULL) I FOUND TO MY SURPRISE THAT THE GAGE STILL READ EMPTY. I HAVE READ ALL OVER THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THE NEW YORK TIMES RELEASED AN ARTICLE STATING THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION HAD REVEALED GENERAL MOTORS WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION ON APRIL 29TH 2011 WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ?THE AGENCY SAID IT HAD RECEIVED 668 COMPLAINTS, INCLUDING 58 IN WHICH THE CONSUMER SAID THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN IT RAN OUT OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE INDICATED THAT FUEL REMAINED.? THIS INVESTIGATION STARTED MONTHS AGO AND I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY ALL OF US HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR THESE REPAIRS OUT OF OUR POCKETS, WHEN THERE IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OF MY 06 TRAILBLAZER LS HAS JOINED THE 668+ THAT DO NOT WORK. I HAVE STRIPED MY CAR DOWN TO THE FRAME. WHEN I PULLED OUT MY GAS PUMP... WOW THIS THING IS MADE TO FAIL. THE ARM IS SO FLIMSY GAS MOVING COULD PULL THE ELECTRODES AWAY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD. YOUR INVESTIGATION WAS LAUNCHED MONTHS AGO. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG? *TR

I WAS RUNNING LOW ON GAS SO I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION. FILLED UP, STARTED TO PULL AWAY, SAW THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WAS STILL READING EMPTY. GAUGE SLOWLY STARTED TO READ FULL AS I WAS DRIVING. PROBLEM PERSISTED NEXT TIME I FILLED UP. THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY GOT WORSE AND THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING TILL I HAD TO HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT. *TR

Mileage: 52,000

WHEN DRIVING, NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD BE MOVING TOWARD THE EMPTY POSITION. WHEN I STOP TO REFUEL( GAUGE READ 1/2 TANK) ENDED UP PUTTING 20 GALLONS IN IT. WENT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WAS BAD. I HAD IT REPLACED.THE VEHICLE HAD 52,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

AT 61000 MILES, VEHICLE'S FUEL LEVEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. UPON FILLING TANK THE GAUGE WOULD READ "EMPTY". AFTER A FEW DAYS INDICATOR WOULD GO UP TO 3/4 FULL THEN WOULD DROP TO "EMPTY" THE NEXT DAY. VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS UNEXPECTEDLY ON INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR WHERE I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 3 BUSY LANES TO THE SHOULDER. HAD VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHICH RETURNED "FUEL SENDER" FAULTY. REPLACEMENT ESTIMATE OVER $400! I DECLINED AS I AM A RETIRED SENIOR CITIZEN ON A FIXED INCOME. WILL ATTEMPT TO USE ODOMETER TO GUESS FUEL LEVEL.

Mileage: 61,000

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, MY GAS GAUGE HAS REGISTERED "EMPTY" REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK. ALSO, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON IN THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE CENTER. I CANNOT TELL IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION OR IF THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT NEEDS ATTENTION. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A GREAT DEAL OF INCONVENIENCE, ANXIETY, AND BIG SAFETY CONCERNS. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR ONE WEEK WHILE HERS WAS BEING REPAIRED. SHE RAN OUT OF GAS AND WAS STRANDED UNTIL ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER COULD LEAVE WORK TO COME HELP HER. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED TO REPAIR THE DYSFUNCTIONAL SENSOR (AT A COST OF $500 TO $600). I CAN SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM IN SEVERAL MODEL YEARS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE AND GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE OF THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THE DEFECT DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND SAFETY CONCERNS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I TRUST THE U.S. DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION WILL ACT TO ORDER GM TO RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR APPROPRIATE REPAIRS. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY SHOW CORRECT LEVEL. WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED IT SHOWS EMPTY, THEN CONSTANTLY SHOWS DIFFERENT LEVELS OR EMPTY. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW ABOUT HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK IS BY TRACKING MILEAGE AND THAT IS NOT ALWAYS ACCURATE. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE AND COULD POTENTIALLY RUN OUT OF FUEL IN REMOTE OR DANGEROUS AREAS. *TR

Mileage: 64,500

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED READING ACCURATELY. I STARTED MONITORING MY FUEL BY MILEAGE BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE $1000 REPLACEMENT COST. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, AND THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MULTIPLE CARS AND I BLOCKED TRAFFIC IN ALL DIRECTIONS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK FULL. HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE DEAD OF WINTER. VERY DANGEROUS. THE GAS GAUGE GOES ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN. VERY FRUSTRATING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO. *TR

I HAVE READ THOUSAND'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO GET THIS SITUATION FIXED. MANY 05-08 TRAILBLAZERS HAVE A FAULTY FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE THAT GIVES FALSE READINGS ON HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. ON MY SPECIFIC 2006 CHEV TRAILBLAZER SITS ON EMPTY AFTER I COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. IT ALSO MOVES AROUND FROM EMPTY, HALF FULL, ALMOST FULL, THEN DOWN TO EMPTY AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. BETWEEN MY SPOUSE AND MYSELF WE HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS 4 TIMES SO FAR, ONCE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. *TT

NOW FUEL GAUGE IN TRAILBLAZER SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES EVEN AFTER A FILL UP. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE DUE TO CAR JUST BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AND HIGH PRICE OF FIX. CURRENTLY HAVE TO GUESS ON FUEL LEVELS BY KEEPING TRACK OF MILEAGE. *KB

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER READ INCORRECTLY. THE PROBLEM JUST STARTED HAPPENING. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN LIKE NORMAL AND NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE ON THE CAR. THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURING BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE $800 DOLLARS I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM OTHER PROBEM WAS NOTICED IN DECEMBER OF 2010. THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING. PRIOR TO THE HEATER STOP WORKING THE BLOWER STOPPED WORKING ON 5 THEN STOPPED WORKING ON 4 THEN IT JUST COMPLETLY STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR OUT OF THE CARR AND NOTICED THAT THE CONNECTOR TO THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR PACK WAS MELTED TO THE CONNECTOR. I REMOVED SOME OF THE MELTED PLASTIC AND TRIED THE HEATER AGAIN AND ONE OF THE WIRES WAS GLOWING ORANGE WHEN THE HEATER WAS RUNNING. I REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND MELTED CONNECTOR. ON APRIL 22, 2011 SPEED 5 ON THE BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR ON APRIL 27 2010. I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM WAS STARTING TO OCCUR AGAIN. THE TWO OF THE WIRES LEADING INTO THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR WERE MELTED TOGETHER. THIS CAR IS NOT DIVEN VERY FAR, PUTTING LESS THAN 5,000 MILES A YEAR ON IT. IS THE MELTING WIRES A PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD WORRY ABOUT? IS THIS CAR SAFE TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE WITH THE KIDS IN THE BACK? *TR

THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN GAS IS PRESENT. CONTINUES TO BEEP INDICATING THE LOW FUEL. WHEN YOU FIRST TURN ENGINE ON IT WILL REGISTER AN AMOUNT OF GAS THEN FALL TO TRIGGER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT. YOU ARE NEVER SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE FUEL TANK.

AT AROUND 50,000 MI ON ODOMETER,WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN WINTER WEATHER ON A HIGHWAY MY GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO EMPTY AND THE CHIME WENT OFF AND THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL ON WHAT IS NORMALLY A BUSY HIGHWAY.I HAD FILLED UP MY TANK BEFORE I'D LEFT FOR MY TRIP SO I KNEW THAT I COULDN'T BE OUT OF GAS.. BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY DESTINATION THE GAUGE WENT BACK TO FULL, BUT ON THE RETURN HOME AGAIN THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO ACT UP. A MECHANIC FRIEND TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY THE FLOAT IN THE TANK AND TO USE THE TRIP ODOMETER. AFTER A FEW MORE TRIPS THE GAUGE WAS ACTING NORMAL AGAIN, BUT WHEN I FILLED UP IT STARTED THE SAME THING. IT IS NOW STUCK ON EMPTY AND MY ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND I'VE HAD A FEW STALLS DUE TO THIS. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I REALLY HAVE AND IF MY CAR STALLS OR RUNS OUT OF GAS I AM IN DANGER OF HAVING OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE PROBLEM ORIGINATED AROUND THE 50000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD BOUNCE BACK BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY, THEN IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I RAN OUT OF GAS, FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A SAFE AREA, BUT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION.

WHEN I DID A ROUTINE FILL UP ON MY VEHICLE AND UPON RESTARTING THE CAR AFTER COMPLETION, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STILL SHOWED LOW FUEL. AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME, I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED CORRECTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. HOWEVER, UPON THE NEXT FILL UP, IT DID THE SAME THING. NOW, IT IS AT THE POINT THAT IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE GAS IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. ONE MINUTE IT SHOWS EMPTY, THE NEXT IT SHOWS CORRECTLY, AND THEN IT SLOWLY GOES BACK TO EMPTY. I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP GAUGE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY. LATELY, OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, THE CAR IS STARTING TO HESITATE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL ON ME UPON TAKE OFF. I AM GETTING WORRIED THAT THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL ON ME AS I AM DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ALTHOUGH I HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS, I DECIDED TO FILL MY TANK. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE CHIME INDICATING THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY WENT OFF. I KNEW THAT THE TANK WAS NOT EMPTY SINCE I STILL HAD A 1/4 OF TANK BEFORE FILLING UP. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR A FEW DAYS, THE GAUGE EVENTUALLY SHOWED THE CORRECT AMOUNT. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AND THE CHIME GOES OFF. I HAVE TO CHECK THE MILEAGE CONSTANTLY SO I WON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. NOW AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE GAUGE WILL AT ONE TIME SHOW FULL AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER SHOW 1/4. THE GAUGE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHEN I NOTICE THAT THE MILEAGE IS GETTING CLOSE TO WHAT A FULL TANK WOULD TAKE ME, I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY SO THAT I DON'T RUN THE CHANCE OF RUNNING OUT GAS.

UPON RESTART AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK, FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY, AND LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING INDICATOR AND AUDIBLE WARNING ARE TRIGGERED. OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING IN THIS CONDITION, CEL WILL BE ACTIVATED, WHICH WHEN READ SHOWS FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE. GAUGE WILL GRADUALLY FLOAT TOWARDS FULL, BUT WILL RANDOMLY GO BACK TO EMPTY, REACTIVATING THE WARNING LIGHT AND AUDIBLE ALARM. ONCE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL HAS BEEN CONSUMED, THE NEEDLE WILL BEGIN ACTING AS IF IT IS WORKING, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE, HOWEVER THE LIGHT AND ALARM WILL NO REACTIVATE UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP.

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING WHEN CAR IS FULL OF GAS- UNTIL RECENTLY IT WORKED WELL.

ACCORDING TO INTERNET THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND CASES WITH SAME PROBLEM AND SAME MODEL YEAR, NHTSA HAS ALMOST 700 CASES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I CAN RUN OUT OF GAS IF I LOOSE COUNT OF THE MILES PER TANK. HOPEFULLY IF IT HAPPENS IT WONT BE IN AN INTERSECTION. *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 4 X 4. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK UP, I RETURNED TO THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP, THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. I KNEW THIS WAS NOT TRUE AS I HAD JUST FILLED THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES SHOW "FULL" WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK BUT THEN DROPS OFF TO EMPTY OR ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN AS I TRAVEL. I HAD TALKED TO MY LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TAT SEND THE TANK LEVEL INFORMATION TO GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER INDICATED A INVESTIGATION HAS START BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET. I NOW HAVE TO RELY ON THE TRIP ODOMETER TO GAUGE HOW FAR I CAN TRAVEL ON A TANK OF FUEL. EVERYTIME I NEED FUEL, I FILL UP ALL THE WAY SO A HAVE GOOD BASE LINE OF MY AVAILABLE MILEAGE. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS WITH THE FUEL PUMP IN THE TANK. IF THE FUEL PUMP FAILS, I COULD BE STRANDED SOME WHERE OR HAVE A LOSS OF POWER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF THE FUEL PUMP FAILS. *TR

Mileage: 55,000

WE WERE MIDWAY THROUGH A 2 HOUR TRIP AND STOPPED TO FILL THE GAS TANK. UPON FILLING IT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, THE FULL GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY DIPPED TO EMPTY, THEN CLIMBED BACK TO 1/2 TANK, THEN FELL BACK TO EMPTY AND THE YELLOW LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL LIGHT STAYED ON FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP AND THE ENTIRE TRIP BACK HOME. SINCE THAT INSTANCE THE GAUGE HAS STOPPED REGISTERING FUEL AT ALL. ONCE IN A WHILE, WHEN STARTING THE CAR AFTER IT HAS SIT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME IT WILL REGISTER FUEL AND THEN DROP TO EMPTY AGAIN. I AM CONSTANTLY WATCHING THE GAUGE AND TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF MILEAGE. RECENTLY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3 LANE INTERSTATE IN PAUSED TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THIS MADE ME VERY NERVOUS AND I CONSTANTLY WATCHED THE DASH LIGHTS FOR FEAR THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I LOVE THE TRAILBLAZER BUT NO LONGER HAVE COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING IT. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING FAR FROM HOME ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS LOW MILEAGE FOR 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL KEPT. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS SERIOUS OF AN ISSUE WITH IT. I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN A GM VEHICLE AND USED TO WORK FOR A GM DEALER. WE CURRENTLY OWN 3 GM PRODUCTS BUT IF THIS ISN'T ADDRESSED, WE WILL THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT OUT NEXT PURCHASE BEFORE WE BUY GM AGAIN. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT OR A LOSS OF LIFE FOR THE COMPANY TO SEE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE.

WHEN I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, HE SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $800-$1,000 TO FIX. OF COURSE THIS IS AN EXTREME EXPENSE CONSIDERING THAT I AM A TEACHER AND CLEARLY DO NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR SUCH A REPAIR. I WAS TOLD IF I KEEP IT ON THE TRIP AND JUST GET GAS BEFORE 275 MILES, I SHOULD BE OK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON AND OFF...THE FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY. NOW, A YEAR LATER I AM STILL BATTLING THIS, BUT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL OF THE TIME! I'M READING ONLINE AND SEEING THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHY HASN'T GM RECALLED THIS SO THAT PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY FEEL SAFE WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING THEIR 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. FROM WHAT I AM READING, EVERYONE HAS THE PROBLEM WHEN THEIR WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. NO ONE IS BUYING HT EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE UNTIL THEN, THERE ARE NOT ANY REAL PROBLEMS WITH THE 2006 TRAILBLAZER.

THEN THIS PAST FEBRUARY IT WENT HAYWIRE & WHEN I FILL UP IT GOES TO THE EMPTY SIDE, ENGINE ICON SHOWS UP & LOW ON GAS LIGHT DINGS & IT NEVER REGISTERS CORRECTLY AT ALL, THE GAS HAND IS ALL OVER AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO USE THE MILEAGE GAUGE TO EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH I MIGHT HAVE. IT LOW GAS WARNING WILL STAR DINGING & I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR INTERSTATE FOR NO REASON & STARTLE ME. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO SUDDENLY JERK THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE I AM STARTLED & THAT IS DANGEROUS IN ITSELF. OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN OWNED GM CARS FROM THE MID 1990'S ON AND THIS HAS CAUSED A VERY UNSAFE FEELING FOR ME. I HAVE CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND I FEEL VERY UNSAFE FOR THE 1ST TIME IN THIS VEHICLE I AM SO NERVOUS JUST DRIVING TO WORK & BACK & MY EYES ARE CONSTANTLY MONITORING THE PANEL WHEN I NEED TO KEEP FOCUSED ON MY DRIVE. I AM SO CONCERNED THAT SINCE THE GAS GAGES ARE SO WRONG WHAT WOULD JUST KEEP IT FROM "SENSING" THERE IS NO GAS AND SUDDENLY STOP! I WOULD HATE FOR IT TO TAKE A DEATH TO PUSH THIS PROBLEM TO BE A RECALL. I AM ALSO A CONSUMERS REPORT PANELIST AND THIS WILL BE ON THEIR REPORT THIS YEAR FOR SURE. I HAVE DEALT WITH THE NOISE ISSUES AS YOU DRIVE & SMALL THINGS THAT HAPPEN AS TIME GOES ON, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE FOR RECALL. I NEED A SAFE VEHICLE AND TO TRADE IS NOT THE ANSWER YET AS I WOULD NOT BE HONEST IN SOMETHING ELSE BUYING THIS CAR AND MAYBE LOSING THEIR LIFE PLEASE I BEG LISTEN TO THE NOTICES YOU HAVE RECEIVED CONCERNING THIS, THESE ARE REAL AS I HAVE SENSED MYSELF IN THEIR CONCERNS & COMPLAINTS.

THE FUEL GAUGE RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS. IT READS EMPTY (AND THE LOW FUEL AMBER LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE WARNING BELL CHIMES). IT THEN WILL GO BETWEEN 1/4 TANK TO EMPTY TO FULL TO EMPTY (BACK AND FORTH) EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL. THIS VEHICLE SUFFERED THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (IT HAD LESS THAN 3 YEARS 36,000 MILES). AT THAT TIME GM REPLACED THE "FUEL SENSOR SENDING UNIT" AT NO CHARGE TO ME SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WE ARE NOT SUFFERING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE TO SURMISE THAT THERE MUST BE A DEFECT SINCE IT CAN NOT POSSIBLY BE NORMAL TO REPLACE A FUEL GAUGE SENSOR TWICE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS JUST NOW FIVE YEARS OLD WITH 61,000 MILES ON IT. I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SINCE AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT SHOULD OUR TRAILBLAZER RUN OUT OF GAS...STALL...AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE / FUEL SENDING UNIT / FUEL READING / FUEL PUMP. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED THREE TIMES NOW DUE TO FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNITS. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE MY TRUCK NOW SHOWS THAT I AM ALWAYS ON EMPTY AND CAN BE A HUGE HAZARD AND LIFE ENDANGERMENT. I DON'T WANT TO BE GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND HAVE MY TRUCK STALL. I HAVE REPLACED THIS UNIT TWICE ALREADY AND I AM NOW WITH A FAULTY ONE AGAIN. ALL ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER EQUIPMENT. NO AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENTS.

MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S FUEL GAUGE GIVES FALSE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN I FILL IT UP THE NEEDLE MOVES UP A LITTLE AND GOES BACK TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW. I'VE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DASH INDICATORS, RADIO, AND NOW THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CAN RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING AND MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET WHERE A OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR FUEL SENSORS. FEEL THAT THIS PART MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY GM. *TR

WE DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK. AFTER PUTTING IN 3 GALLONS OF GAS IT STARTED. SINCE THEN EVERYTIME WE FILL UP THE TANK, IT READS EMPTY AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH IS LIT WITH THE ENGINE SYMBLE. AFTER ABOUT 5 GALLONS ARE USED, IT WILL WORK WITH NO LIGHT ERATICALLY.

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. I WAS DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT AND THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON (WHICH SIGNALS THAT FUEL IS NEEDED) AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES THE CAR HAD STALLED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY (ROUTE 81). I "GOOGLED" TRAILBLAZER AND GAS GAUGE AND I SAW THE THAT THE NHTSA HAS OPENED A PROBE OF THIS ISSUE, AS IT MAY BE WIDESPREAD. THEREFORE, I AM SUBMITTING MY ISSUE SO THAT THE NUMBER CAN BE PROPERLY TRACKED IN THE EVENT A RECALL IS OPENED. *TR

MY VEHICLES GAS GAUGE SIMPLY CEASED WORKING WITH NO APPARENT REASON OR WARNING CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO INFORMED ME THAT, MORE THAN LIKELY, ONE OF THE THREE SENSORS IN MY GAS TANK HAD CEASED WORKING AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1200.00 TO REPAIR THE SAME, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD AND WHICH HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED CAUSING ME NO END OF GRIEF AND AGGRAVATION.

MY GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING. SOMETIMES THE GAUGE WOULD SHOW EMPTY WHEN THERE WAS GAS. OTHER TIMES IT WOULD SHOW THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK AND THERE WASNT. I CALLED MY CHEVY DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE DROPPED. I WAS TOLD TO USE MY TRIP ODOMETER TO KEEP TRACK HOW MANY MILES WAS DRIVEN ON A TANK SO THAT I WOULDNT RUN OUT OF GAS. I WORK FOR GM AND I CONTACTED OUR LOCAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. I WAS TOLD TO HAVE THE REPAIR MADE, PAY FOR IT AND MAYBE SOMETHING COULD BE WORKED OUT. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HEARD THE USNHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING THIS SAME ISSUE. I WANTED SOMEONE TO KNOW THERE ARE MORE OF OUT HERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 45,000

AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING UP MY GAS TANK I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON, LOW FUEL WARNING CHIMED AND THE GAS GAUGE READ EMPTY. I IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED AND GOT THE SAME INDICATIONS. WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF DRIVING THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE GAUGE BEGAN TO SLOWLY RISE. WHILE DRIVING THE GAUGE WOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SWING UP AND DOWN, OCCASIONALLY SWINGING LOW ENOUGH TO TRIGGER THE LOW FUEL WARNING (EVERY 3-5MINUTES WHILE MOVING). AFTER ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS HAD BEEN USED THE GAUGE SEEMED TO STABILIZE AND READ ACCURATELY. THE PERIOD OF ERRATIC BEHAVIOR RETURNED EVERY TIME THE TANK WAS FILLED AND APPEARED TO BE WORSENING (LASTING LONGER WITH EACH CYCLE). ON 12/09/2008 VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY AT A DEALER AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO INCIDENTS SINCE. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A DANGER AS I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. ALTHOUGH I CAN USE THE ODOMETER TO "GUESS" ABOUT GAS, IT IS NOT A DEFINITE MEASURE OF THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE I HAVE LEFT. I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER CHEVROLET SUVS AND TRUCKS. I CHECKED ON FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK HAS TO BE PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE, IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THIS APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET AND GMC SUVS AND TRUCKS, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET AND GMC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER STALLED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY AND WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE AND HAD TO PAY OVER $500 IN PARTS AND LABOR TO GET IT FIXED. IN THE END THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE FAULT, IT JUST FINALLY STARTED. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS SINCE FAILED AND READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. BEFORE THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED IT WOULD GIVE INACCURATE FUEL READINGS. WE HAVE ALSO HAD NUMEROUS STALLS SINCE THAT ARE RESOLVED BY WAITING FOR 30 MINUTES AND TRYING AGAIN. *TR

WAS READING A NEWS ARTICLE TODAY THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING FUEL GAUGE ISSUE ON GM SUV'S. CONSIDERING MY EXPERIENCE, I THOUGHT NHTSA WOULD WANT TO KNOW OF THIS ISSUE AND THE RESOLUTION. BACK IN FEBRUARY 2010 THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY GOVERNMENT ISSUED 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STARTED TO ACT IN A STRANGE WAY. UPON FUELING UP IT WOULD READ FULL, THEN GO TO EMPTY IN A MINUTE, THEN GO BACK TO 1/2 FULL, THEN BACK TO EMPTY AND THEN AFTER 20 MINUTES IT WOULD STAY ON EMPTY FOR A DAY OR SO, THEN GO BACK TO A "NORMAL" READING. DURING THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, AND UNTIL IT WAS REPAIRED AT A GOV AUTHORIZED REPAIR GARAGE, I HAD TO USE APPROXIMATE MILAGE TO CONFIRM HOW MUCH FUEL REMAINED. IT TURNED OUT, ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR FACILITY, THAT A PUMP IN OR AT THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. HAVE NOT HAD THAT ISSUE SINCE THE REPAIR. REPAIR WAS DONE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND COST $457 ($300 IN LABOR, $157 FOR THE GAUGE UNIT) TO HAVE IT FIXED.

WE OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE DRIVER ADDED FUEL TO THE TANK; HOWEVER, THE GAS GAUGE INDICATED THAT IT WAS EMPTY. THE DRIVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF THE GAUGE WOULD RESET; TO NO AVAIL. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE GAS GAUGE DID INDICATE THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL; YET, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE GAUGE SLOWLY BEGAN TO MOVE UP AND DOWN BUT NEVER INDICATING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL. SINCE THE FUEL GAGE HAS MALFUNCTIONED, THE CONTACT IS UNSURE OF HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE TANK. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF A MONTH AGO BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE THAT. THE DRIVER DID CONTACT A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON FOR TRAILBLAZERS AND THE IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $600-$1200. TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE FUEL GAUGE ON MAKES FALSE READINGS ON A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SS 6.0L. UPON FILLING UP TO A FULL TANK THE GAGE WILL SAY 'FULL' HOWEVER WHILE RIDING OVER BUMPS OR ACCELERATING/DECELERATING THE GAUGE WILL BOUNCE TO EMPTY AND FULL REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR THE PAST 20,000 MILES CONTINUOUSLY AFTER FILL UP UNTIL APPROXIMATELY HALF THE TANK IS EMPTIED. ONCE THE GAUGE STOPS BOUNCING BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY THE READING IS NO LONGER ACCURATE. IN ONCE CASE I RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE ON A HIGHWAY WHILE THE GAUGE READ 1/4 TANK MOMENTS PRIOR TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND STALLING OUT. I WAS TOLD THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OCCURRING IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WOULD REQUIRE REPLACING THE ENTIRE SENDING UNIT TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

AT EACH FALSE "EMPTY" THE CHIME RANG AND YELLOW LIGHT APPEARED .THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO DO THIS IF FULL OR CLOSE TO EMPTY. EVERY TIME TANK WAS FILLED THE TRIP ODOMETER HAD TO BE RESET TO ZERO AND DATE AND NUMBER OF GALLONS NOTED. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN TRACK FUEL CONSUMPTION. WE CANNOT TRUST THE GAUGE READINGS AT ALL. WE HAVE TO DO EXPRESSWAY DRIVING TO COMMUTE AND HAVE TO REFUEL MORE OFTEN TO KEEP TRACK. WE WORRY ABOUT SAFETY OF US AND OTHERS!

TWO DAYS BEFORE WE WERE TO LEAVE ON VACATION IN OUR 2006 TRAILBLAZER, MY WIFE FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND WHEN SHE GOT IN THE CAR IT READ BELOW EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. SHE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A SHOP WHERE SHE WAS TOLD "IT;S PROBABLY THE SENDING UNIT, THEY GO BAD ON TRAILBLAZERS ALL THE TIME". THIS WAS BEFORE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, AND THE TEST CONFIRMED IT. BEING THAT IT IS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE, 5 YEARS OLD WITH 50,000 MILES, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY COULD DO IT FOR $470.00 AND IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON. I AM 50 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED A DOZEN VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS, MOST OLDER THEN THIS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM, EVER, ON ANY VEHICLE. SINCE WE WERE LEAVING ON A VACATION IN TWO DAYS, WE FELT WE HAD BETTER HAVE IT FIXED, EVEN THOUGH WE COULD NOT AFFORD IT. I HAVE SINCE TALKED TO OTHER MECHANICS, AND ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS WITH TRAILBLAZERS FROM 2006. EVERY TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD "NOT REALLY, OTHER THEN THE FUEL SENDING UNITS, WHICH IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX". UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT FIRSTHAND. WHILE I CAN'T REPLACE THE THINGS WE COULDN'T DO ON OUR VACATION DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR, I WOULD SURE LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET MY MONEY BACK. AND SINCE THE NEW ONE CAME FROM THE DEALER AND IS OEM EQUIPMENT, HOW LONG WILL THIS ONE LAST? ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING, THE HEAT WAS INOPERATIVE, THERE WERE NOISE/CREAKS COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING SLOW AND MAKING TURNS, THE POWER WINDOWS AND HEATED SEATS STOPPED WORKING, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INACCURATE, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH HAD TO REPLACED, THE SEAT BELT WAS DIFFICULT TO FASTEN, THE HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS SOCKETS BURNED OUT, THE FAN FOR THE HEATER AND DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY AND EVENTUALLY HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE IGNITION SWITCH DIDN'T ALWAYS WORK AND THE KEY WOULD SOMETIMES GET STUCK. *JB

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY TRAILBALZER HAS FAILED AND I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I HAVE HAD TO CALL AAA SEVERAL TIMES. THE REPAIR JOB WILL COST ABOUT $800 AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO IT. THE GAS TANK MUST BE PULLED DOWN AND THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT MUST BE REPLACED BY A MECHANIC. IT IS A DANGEROUS JOB. I THINK GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND REPAIR FREE TO THE OWNERS I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHERS RUNNING WITH THE SAME CONDITION. IT WILL NOT PASS NEW YORK STATE INSPECTION WITH THIS CONDITION...THANK YOU.

NORMAL DRIVING AND THE GAS GAUGE JUST MALFUNCTIONED. I RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE OF FALSE READINGS. ONE TIME HAS ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. THAT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FROM THE 10000 POSTS I'VE SEEN IN FORUMS. IT IS A $400 FIX AT THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS 4.2L I6 4X4 98,000 MILES- FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING AFTER FUEL UP. GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY WHEN IN FACT THE TANK IS FULL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON. GAUGE ALSO FLUCTUATES FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS AS I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY OR PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING HOW MUCH FUEL THAT I HAVE OTHER THAN KEEPING TRACK OF THE MILEAGE (AND THAT IS NOT ALWAYS ACCURATE). AFTER SEARCHING THIS TOPIC ON THE INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK (WHICH THEY DID SAY IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE). THEY SAID IT WILL COST AROUND $800 TO FIX IT. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE I CAN NOT COME UP WITH THAT MONEY AT THIS TIME... *TR

MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE KEEPS TELLING ME ITS EMPTY WHEN ITS FULL. IT ALL STARTED WHEN I PUMPED GAS INTO IT I TURNED IT ON AND IT STOOD ON EMPTY. I ONLY HAVE 43K MILES ON IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY CAR BEFORE AND AFTER READING ABOUT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM I THINK ITS UNFAIR THAT GM IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF IT WERE 1 OR 2 VEHICLES BUT ITS A LOT.....THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD DO. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. GOES UP AND DOWN. NEVER SURE HOW MUCH GAS IN THE VEHICLE. COULD RESULT IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS LEADING TO BEING REARENDED OR STUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. GAUGE GETS STUCK ON EMPTY AT TIMES AND FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 4WD. MY GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN BOUNCING AROUND FROM EMPTY TO FULL AND BACK DOWN. RECENTLY MY CAR STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY! I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER MY CAR INTO A SAFE LOCATION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!! I WAS TOLD THAT BY THE GENTLEMEN AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS "A COMMON PROBLEM" WITH THIS CAR AND THAT MY FUEL SENSOR ISN'T READING. THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE DROPPED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO FORK OUT THE $900 TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THIS IS SUCH A KNOWN ISSUE AND A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOU THE NHTSA WOULD HELP TO INSURE THE PUBLICS SAFETY BY MANDATING A RECALL FOR THIS PART. PLEASE ALSO REFER TO THIS THREAD: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TH8JI6TEPO3VRJI3D/P24 TO VIEW OVER 500 COMPLAINTS! I WILL ASSURE YOU THAT WHEN THIS DOES CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY, THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE LITIGATION TO FOLLOW. I CAN NO LONGER TRUST MY FUEL READING AND HAVE TO RESET MY TRIPOMETER AND ONLY DRIVE 250 MILES BEFORE I FUEL UP AGAIN. PLEASE!! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!!!!! *TR

AS WITH THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER TRAILBLAZER, ENVOY AND 9-7X OWNERS MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR QUIT WORKING. IT SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I AM A DISABLED AMERICAN WITH VERY LITTLE INCOME FROM DISABILITY AND CAN NOT AFFORD THE $600+ A GARAGE CHARGES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2005-2008 GM SUV'S AND CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BY NOW AS THIS PROBLEMS HAS AFFECTED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE GAUGE WILL FAIL WITH NO WARNING AND CAN CREATE SERIOUS HAZARDS WHEN A VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF GAS.*TR

IN AUGUST, 2009, I FILLED MY GAS TANK IN MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR, THE GAS GAUGE READ EMPTY. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND BEGAN USING THE TRIPOMETER TO MEASURE THE MILEAGE, REFUELING AT APPROXIMATELY 250-300 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, IN AUGUST, 2010, WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR FREEWAY, THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND I BARELY AVOIDED BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WAS HELPED BY A FRIEND WHO HAPPENED TO SPOT ME IN TROUBLE. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2011: IT APPEARS THAT NOW MY FUEL PUMP HAS GONE BAD AND I AM UNABLE TO MOVE FUEL TO THE ENGINE. THE CAR TURNS OVER BUT THERE ISN'T FUEL MOVING THROUGH THE LINES TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENSOR ONLINE ABOUT THE GM MODELS FROM 2004-2007. (513 AS OF TODAY) GM NEEDS TO PROVIDE A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE, INSTEAD OF CHARGING IT'S CUSTOMERS $800.00+ TO DROP THE GAS TANK AND REPLACE PARTS THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT - 63,000 MILES. FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY UPON FILLING TANK UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES, FUEL GAUGE RETURNS TO NORMAL OPERATION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. SAME CYCLE UPON NEXT FILL UP. *TR

THE FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS FULL. YOU CAN NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. IT GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS FULL FOR ABOUT ONE DAY, THEN COMES BACK ON AGAIN UNTIL YOU FILL THE CAR UP AGAIN. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AND IT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $800 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS AS EVERYONE THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THAT HAS A TRAILBLAZER HAS THIS PROBLEM. I EVEN KNOW A COUPLE THAT HAS A 1999 TRAILBLAZER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 57,000

FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN INACCURATE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT USED IN 2007. IT WOULD GO FROM 1/4 TANK TO OUT OF GAS IN LESS THAN 15 MILES. RAN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES, TWICE WHEN THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS NOT EVEN ON. ONCE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD, VERY DANGEROUS. THIS INCIDENT REPORT IS FOR RECENT PROBLEM: AFTER FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY WITH GAS, THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. EVEN AFTER TURNING IT ON AND OFF, LIGHT STAYED ON. THEN THE GAUGE FLUCTUATED FROM EMPTY TO FULL BACK TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. FUEL GAUGE IS NOW WORKS SPORADICALLY BUT NEVER SURE IF IT IS CORRECT. I NEED TO TRACK MILEAGE BETWEEN FILL-UPS TO ENSURE THERE IS GAS IN THE TANK. SINCE WE HAVE MULTIPLE DRIVERS IN THE FAMILY, THIS IS A NERVE-RACKING SYSTEM.

IN SEPTEMBER 2010 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING ALL OF THE TIME . THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THEM TO SHUT OFF OR TURN THEM BACK ON IS TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT. THIS IS SO INCONVIENT BECAUSE THE FUSE BOX IS LOCATED IN THE BACKSEAT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE . I HAVE TO LIFT THE SEAT UP AND REMOVE TWO BOXES AND PUT IN THE FUSE AND TO REMOVE IT I HAVE TO USE PLIERS TO GET IT OUT.... ALSO MY LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS SO I AM CONSTANTLY AT THE GAS STATION GETTING GAS SO THAT I AM AWAYS SURE TO HAVE GAS IN MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO PUT THE VEHICLE ON DIAGNOSTIC FOR $99 WHICH DOES NOT GO TOWARDS THE COST OF REPAIRS WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD BECAUSE I AM UNEMPLOYED.. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY INDICATE THAT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT REPAIR IT AND MAYBE GIVE ME 10% OFF OF MY REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM THEM...... I SEE WHERE U HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME YEAR AND MAKE AND MODEL.. DO U HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT CAN BE DONE ON THIS? *TR

MY GAS GAUGE REGISTERED A LITTLE LESS THAN 1/2 TANK WHEN I FILLED UP. AFTER STARTING THE CAR, THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY AND CONTINUES TO REGISTER EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST FILLED UP. MY TRAILBLAZER HAS LOW MILES, A LITTLE OVER 51,000, SO A PROBLEM LIKE THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION STARTED IN JAN, 2010...WHEN WILL THERE BE A RECALL????? THIS COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM IF WE RUN OUT OF GAS UNKNOWINGLY. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED IN A REAR-END COLLISION BECAUSE WE HAVE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED???

1. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE ORIGINAL FAILURE, BUT I WOULD SAY IT STARTED AFTER I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS 2. IT WAS EVERY TIME I FILLED WITH GAS FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, NOW IT IS CONSTANT AND EVERY TIME MY CAR IS IN MOTION. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND COST IS WELL OVER $800, ALSO THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE EXACT PROBLEM. DETAILS: MY FUEL LIGHT ON MY CAR REPORTS THAT THERE IS NO GAS IN THE CAR EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON BECAUSE OF THIS AND CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE CAR. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEAL SAYS IT IS COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST OVER $800. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE OF THE WARNINGS THAT COME ON THE CAR. IT STARTED AFTER FILLING WITH GAS AND BEFORE WOULD BE NORMAL AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES. NOW IT IS CONSTANT. WHEN I FIRST START THE VEHICLE IT WORKS FINE AND TELLS ME THE RANGE, BUT AS SOON AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT GOES BACK TO EMPTY. HAVE REPLACED GAS CAP AND OTHER THINGS AS SUGGESTED, BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOW CONSTANT AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING I CAN SMELL GAS VERY STRONG. IT LASTS FOR A ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND IS FRIGHTENING, THE DEALERSHIPS SAYS IT COULD BE THE PRESSURE IN THE GAS TANK. IT IS VERY SCARY AND VERY EXPENSIVE FOR AN ISSUE THEY ARE UNSURE OF. I REQUEST YOU INVESTIGATE THIS BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT UNLESS WE SPEND THE MONEY FOR THEM TO FIX SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT SURE OF AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN ABOUT A 50% CHANCE THE PROBLEM RETURNS. *TR

THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND SEEMED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY UNTIL I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH MY YOUNG CHILD. THE GAS GAUGE WAS AGAIN GIVING FALSE READINGS AND MY VEHICLE HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL. AS IT STANDS NOW, I WILL HAVE REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD. AFTER MY EXPERIENCE OF SUDDENLY HAVING NO FUEL, I CAN CERTAINLY SAY IT CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE TRAFFIC IN MY VICINITY, I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN AS FORTUNATE AS I WAS. *TR

AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE REPAIRED MANY AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $800. IF THEY KNOW THE SENSOR GOES BAD AND HAVE REPAIRED IT SEVERAL TIMES - IS IT NOT A VALID RECALL PROBLEM? IF YOU GOOGLE THE PROBLEM YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM GOING TO WATCH THE MILEAGE FOR NOW AND DO FILL UPS AS NEEDED BY MILEAGE. I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR A WELL RECOGNIZED PROBLEM. I TRAVEL THE COUNTRY BY VEHICLE AND NEED TO HAVE A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 5 MONTHS AGO AND OF COURSE IT STARTED RIGHT AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS THROUGH. OF COURSE, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT IS WHEN THEY INFORMED THAT IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY AND THAT THE GAS TANK HAS TO BE DROPPED AND THE SENSOR REPLACED - TIMELY AND COSTLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT IT IS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. HOWEVER, IN THE MIDST OF THIS THE SUV RAIN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE AS I HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT I WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THOUSANDS OF CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS FROM 2002 THROUGH 2008 ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I FOUND THIS BY DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTIES BUT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS AND ENVOYS.

THE DEALER STATED THE "FIX" WOULD COST 900 DOLLARS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND SILVERADO MODELS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I WAS TOLD THE SILVERADO WAS UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AFFECTED ALONG WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. BUT THAT THE TRAILBLAZERS WERE NOT UNDER RECALL.

DEALERSHIP SAYS "NOT MUCH WE CAN DO EXCEPT REPLACE FUEL SYSTEM - STILL WON'T FIX PROBLEM AS IT WILL LIKELY OCCUR AGAIN." ALSO TOLD ME "GOOD LUCK WITH GETTING RECALL PARTICULARLY SINCE US AUTO STRUGGLES = NO BAD PRESS FOR US AUTOMAKERS." HE THEN POINTED ME TO THIS SITE AND TOLD ME TO NOTICE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ON THE INVESTIGATION FRONT SINCE JANUARY 2010 DESPITE THE PROBLEM BEING REPORTED SINCE BASICALLY MAY 2007. INTERESTING...BUT I HAVE FAITH THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THAT THIS ISSUE WILL BE ADDRESSED. ANYWAY, THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH INFO AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE AND ACROSS THE INTERNET ON THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES.

I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE HOWEVER NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHO ARE IN MY CAR MOST OF THE TIME. I AM VERY AFRAID THAT I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE FREEWAY. THIS CAN CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT IF I STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH.

TO MY EMBARRASSMENT I SLOWED AND STOPPED TRAFFIC FOR CLOSE TO AN HOUR WHILE I CALLED FOR HELP AND HAD TO BE TOWED. MY MECHANIC EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM (THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR) AND GAVE ME TWO OPTIONS GET THE PART REPLACE OR KEEP TRACK OF THE MILEAGE AND GAS I PUT IN DAILY, BECAUSE OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE PART PLUS LABOR I DECIDED TO KEEP TRACK OF THE MILEAGE INSTEAD OF HAVING IT REPLACED. NOW I'M HAVING A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE I AM ONLY ABLE TO PUMP $10 OF GAS AT A TIME BECAUSE NOW MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT ALSO. WHEN I PUMP GAS MY CAR THINKS THAT IT HAS GAS WHEN IT DOESN'T.

DEAR SIR/MADAM, FOR SEVERAL DAYS I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR OF MY CHEVORLET TRAILBLAZER 2006. THE INDICATOR SHOWS FULL AFTER A GAS STATION STOP AND WITHIN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES IT INDICATES EMPTY. SOMETIMES IT BOUNCES UP AND DOWN AND THEN IT GETS STUCK AT EMPTY. IN THE MEANTIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON PERMANENTLY. THIS IS A VERY FRUSTRATING SITUATION SINCE I TRAVEL A LOT FOR BUSINESS AND PRIVATE WITH MY CAR. I NEVER KNOW WHEN SUFFICIENT GASOLINE IS IN THE TANK AND CONSIDER THIS SITUATION DANGEROUS, THE ENGINE COULD STOP ANY MOMENT AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 2006 OWNERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A COMMENT FROM NHTSA AND GM REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD SUGGEST THAT GM MIGHT CONSIDER A RECALL FOR THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER TO REPLACE THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR. TALKED TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES. THE COST ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR SERVICE IS 350 - 400 $. MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COST FOR THE PART IS 122 $ WITHOUT TAXES. PLUS LABOR COST. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT SEVERAL CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS IN THE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS. THE CONCLUSION IS: THE FUEL SENSOR/GAUGE CANNOT HANDLE THE GASOLINE QUALITY THAT IS SOLD IN THE US. THEY BLAME CERTAIN ADDITIVES IN THE GASOLINE TO CAUSE CORROSION ON THAT PARTICULAR PART. QUESTION: DID GM CHANGE THE MATERIAL FOR THE FUEL SENSOR/GAUGE IN THE MEANTIME, SO THAT THE PART WILL NOT BREAK AGAIN? FROM MY POINT OF VIEW AND MANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS: THIS SPECIFIC CAR PART IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED VIA A RECALL. I RAN ONCE OUT OF GASOLINE, ON A BUSY US ROUTE IN PA. *TR

WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

ISSUE: THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE FUEL LIGHTS COMES ON AND STAYS ON EVEN AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THE ISSUE STARTED AROUND MID JANUARY 2010 AND HAS GOTTEN WORST. MY ONLY COMFORT IS KNOWING THAT I DO HAVE GAS IN MY TANK BUT IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND UNNERVING. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE. I HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET IT REPAIRED BUT NOT SURE OF THE COST OR HOW LONG I MAY BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR DOES NOT FUNCTION. THIS CAUSES THE FUEL TANK TO CONSTANTLY READ EMPTY. I NOTICED THIS JUST AS THE WARRANTY ON MY LEASED VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE DUE TO MILEAGE THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE THE TRIP ODOMETER ON THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE IF I NEED FUEL OR NOT. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED OCCURRING, IT WORKED AND THEN DIDN'T WORK AND I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON SOME BUSY ROADS AND HAD TO PUSH MY VEHICLE TO A FUEL STATION. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PORTER CHEVY TO HAVE IT FIXED THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME $950. I SPOKE TO OTHER CHEVY DEALERS AND THEY SAID PRICES RANGING FROM $800-$1500 TO CORRECT AND HAD TWO MECHANICS TELL ME THAT THE PART IS GARBAGE AND THAT IT WOULD JUST BREAK AGAIN WITHIN A YEAR NOT TO WASTE MY MONEY. I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THROUGH THE CPSC AND FOUND 50 OTHERS JUST LIKE MINE ON THERE. NOT NHTSA WAS ON CNN AND I CHECKED TO SEE OVER 200 SIMILAR CASES ON THIS SITE SOME INVOLVING SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES OVER THE SAME PROBLEM I'M HAVING. I HAVE 3 SMALL KIDS AND NEED THIS CORRECTED. NOT MY FAULT THAT CHEVY IS RIPPING OFF ITS CUSTOMERS WITH FAULTY PARTS. *TR

ON FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2009, I HAD MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SERVICED AT THE CLASSIC CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN GRAPEVINE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK SENSOR (WHICH APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS WELL). AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 P.M., I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN MY DAUGHTER AND I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE, THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS SET TO THE HIGHEST FAN SETTING WITH THE TEMPERATURE SET TO 60 DEGREES. I REDUCED THE FAN SETTING TO 'AUTO' AND RAISED THE TEMPERATURE SETTING TO APPROXIMATELY 70 DEGREES. LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES AND APPROXIMATELY ONE (1) MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 ' 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THERE WAS NOT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. THE NOISE AND MESS SCARED MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT AND LUCKILY, THE GLASS DID LAND ON HER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER THE VEHICLE TO EXAMINE THE DAMAGE AND CHECK THE STREET FOR ANY OBJECTS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. UPON FINDING NONE, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP PRIOR TO THERE CLOSING AT 6:30 P.M. UPON RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN OFFERED TO PROVIDE A QUOTE THE NEXT MORNING FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS, AND COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY POSSIBLE REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I RETURNED TO THE SCENE OF THE INCIDENT IN ORDER TO EXAMINE THE AREA MORE CLOSELY FOR A POSSIBLE CLUE TO THE REASON FOR THIS OCCURRENCE. AFTER EXAMINING THE STREET, THE SHOULDER OF THE STREET AND SURROUNDING AREA CLOSELY, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THE GLASS SHATTERING FROM AN EXTERNAL OBJECT. PIECES OF GLASS WERE ON THE STREET AND SURROUNDING AREAS UP TO TWENTY FEET FROM THE LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT. THE NEXT MORNING, I REMOVED ITEMS STORED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE BROKEN GLASS, PIECE BY PIECE. THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE OBJECT IN THE VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE WINDOW EXPLOSION. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS. *TR

I USE THE TRIP ODOMETER, HOWEVER, I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS, WHICH COULD HAVE LEAD TO VARIES DANGEROUS/LIFE THREATENING EVENTS. CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THIS, BEFORE THEY FACE A MAJOR LAWSUIT BASED OFF SOMETHING GOING TERRIBLY WRONG BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR

LAST NIGHT I FILLED MY TANK UP; ORIGINALLY THE INDICATOR WAS ON THE LAST LINE BEFORE EMPTY. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP COMPLETELY, THE INDICATOR ON THE FUEL GAUGE WENT BELOW THE EMPTY SYMBOL AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND CONTINUED TO CHECK IT THROUGH THE EVENING. THE TANK READ EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON EVERY TIME I CHECKED IT, BUT NO OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS MORNING THE INDICATOR WAS STILL BELOW THE EMPTY SYMBOL, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON, AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE INDICATOR FLUCTUATED BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. AT LUNCH, 4 HOURS LATER, WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON THE INDICATOR WAS AT FULL. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING 2 MILES, IT WENT DOWN COMPLETELY TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAN ON AGAIN. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS MORNING I FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY A FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. ALL COMPLAINTS HAVING A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM INVOLVED 2005 OR 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS THAT HAVE REACHED MILEAGE OF 44,000-53,000 MILES. WHEN I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS CORRECT, THAT THIS WAS MOST LIKELY A FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT TRAILBLAZERS HAVE, IT WAS A PROBLEM THAT ALL NEW CARS HAVE, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN NEW CARS AND THAT THEY FAIL. IT WOULD COST A MINIMUM $800-900 TO FIX. MY CAR IS BARELY 3 YRS OLD (2006 MODEL BOUGHT USED WITH 10,000 MILES IN JUNE 06) AND HAS 51,900 MILES ON IT. *TR

FILLED FUEL TANK APPROX. 1 MONTH AGO AND FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING. SHOWS EMPTY AND LIGHT REMAINS ON 90% OF THE TIME. IT HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE THAT TIME. WENT TO CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN SHOWING A PROBLEM. STATED FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT PROBABLY BAD. FUEL TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED. PRICE RANGES FOR REPAIR BETWEEN $800.00 AND $1100.00. HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GET FIXED DUE TO COST AND RESEARCH SHOWING THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM CHEVROLET IS HAVING. TEMPORARILY CORRECTING PROBLEM BY FILLING FUEL TANK EVERY 250 MILES. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT MY USED 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. EVERYTIME I WOULD FILL UP, THE GAUGE WOULD MALFUNCTION AND READ EMPTY. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CHIME WOULD ALERT FOR LOW FUEL. EVENTUALLY, AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES, THE GAUGE WOULD BEGIN WORKING CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. SOMETIMES THE GAUGE WOULD NOT CORRECT ITSELF AT ALL, AND OFTEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ALSO COME ON. MORE RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE RARELY CORRECTS ITSELF AND I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP TRACK OF MY MILEAGE AND "GUESS" WHEN I NEED A FILL UP. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE AN ALARMINGLY LARGE NUMBER OF GM OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM! SUPPOSEDLY, THE REPAIR REQUIRES A NEW FUEL PUMP, SENSOR, ETC. OF COURSE, SINCE THE TANK HAS TO BE DROPPED, THIS MEANS A HIGH LABOR RATE AS WELL. MOST PEOPLE REPORT A COST OF APPROX $800 TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM! LUCKILY, MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, BUT WITH THE OUTRAGEOUS NUMBER OF OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE, GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! A RECALL DEFINITELY SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER! *TR

EARLIER THIS YEAR ON COMPLAINT #10225267, I REPORTED THAT OUR 2006 TRAILBLAZER GAS GAGE STOP WORKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. OUR DEALER SAID THEY FIXED IT. A FEW MONTHS LATER THEE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND ERASED THE ERROR. THIS WEEK IN AGAIN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BLAZER IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. WHEN IS GM/CHEVROLET GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW FOR EVERY COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE THERE ARE MANY SILENT TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THESE SOME FUEL GAGE AND ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS. *TR

AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE FOR ONE YEAR, THE FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY BECAME ERRATIC. WHEN FUEL WAS NEAR EMPTY, IT WOULD READ "FULL" OR "HALF FULL". THE ENGINE REPAIR LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF INCONSISTENTLY DURING THE SAME TIME. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE QUALITY OF GASOLINE, BUT TRYING DIFFERENT BRANDS DID NOT HELP. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN MY TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD READ "E" FOR EMPTY, WITH THE NEEDLE NEVER MOVING FROM E. THE YELLOW LIGHT AND "DINGING" SOUND RING A LOT LETTING ME KNOW I AM SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF FUEL, BUT AM NOT. THIS IS THE CASE EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE TO RESET MY TRIPOMETER WHEN FILLING UP ON A NEW TANK OF GAS, SO I KNOW ABOUT 250 MILES, I NEED TO FILL UP AGAIN. IF I DON'T DO THIS, I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS, CAUSE A CRASH, OR A FATAL ACCIDENT SINCE MY GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY. I HAVE READ MANY BLOG AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE TRAILBLAZER AND OTHER CHEVROLET VEHICLES. MINE IS A 2006 WITH CURRENTLY LESS THAN 24,000 MILES ON IT, AND AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE, ABOUT 21,000.00 MILES. I UNDERSTAND THE REPAIR AND PARTS WILL BE ABOUT $800.00. FOR SUCH A YOUNG VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE, HOW CAN THIS BE? THERE NEEDS TO ME A RECALL WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE SEEN THE NEWS WHEN THE 5 HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS IN NEW YORK, MAY 2008 I BELIEVE, WERE KILLED AND THEN JUST 3-4 WEEKS AGO, OCT 2008, THE NEWS REPORTED A YOUNG MOTHER WAS KILLED OUT WEST. BOTH ACCIDENTS INVOLVED A FRONT END COLLISION AND BOTH WHERE MID-SIZE GM SUVS (CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, GMC ENVOY, BUICK RAINER). BOTH ACCIDENTS RESULTED IN FIRES AND DEATHS. THE NEWS REPORTED THE FIRE WAS TO INTENSE TO ATTEMPT A RESCUE IN THE NEW YORK CASE. IN THE CASE OUT WEST, THE YOUNG MOTHER'S TWO CHILDREN WERE RESCUED, BUT TO THE INTENSE FIRE SHE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESCUED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OR COMMENTS ON THIS OR IF IT WAS EVER REPORTED TO THIS AGENCY. I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AS MY MAIN VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT WANT IT TO HAVE SOME UNKNOWN DEFECT THAT MAY CAUSE MY OR ANY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY A LOSS OF LIFE. THANK YOU FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES, MY GAS GAUGE BEGAN NOT RESETTING COMPLETELY WHEN FILLING UP AND BEGAN WORKING SPORADICALLY. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, IT STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. I HAVE READ MANY MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSORS ON THE 2006 TRAILBLAZERS AND EVERYONE DESCRIBES A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AS MINE. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 800 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I HAVE TO UTILIZE MY TRIP ODOMETER TO KNOW WHEN TO FILL UP AND SIMPLY HAVE TO GUESS ABOUT MY GAS MILEAGE. TO DATE, I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ONCE BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY SENSOR, MAKING ME LATE TO WORK. IF THIS IS A RECURRENT ISSUE WITH 2006 TRAILBLAZERS, A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AT 40,000 MILES, THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE DOES NOT MOVE AND INDICATES THAT FUEL IS PRESENT, WHEN IN REALITY, THERE IS NONE. THERE IS NO RECALL RELATING TO THIS FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAUSED HER TO RUN OUT OF GASOLINE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

FRIDAY EVENING I FILLED OUR BLAZER UP WITH UNLEADED GAS AND AS I DROVE HOME I NOTICE THE GAS GAGE MARKED EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, I STOPPED TO MAKE SURE THE GAS CAP WAS ON CORRECTLY AND CONTINUED HOME.

AS I DROVE INTO TOWN THE GAS GAGE STARTED ON FULL AND WORKED IT WAY DOWN TO EMPTY. NOW MY BLAZER IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I FINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SOME PROBLEM. SO I SIT AND WAIT. *TR

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 $500.00 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 . *TR
