2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Fuel leak from line’s under truck

GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. NEEDLE ON E AND LIGHT STAYS ON. PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM REPORTS BROKEN WHEN SHE BOUGHT IT USED. I TRIP MILEAGE TO O WHEN I GET GAS. THEN BY # OF GALLONS I PUT IN I ESTIMATE HOW MANY MILES I THINK I CAN TRAVEL. IT'S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO KEEP TANK FILLED.

THE GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING! I JUST PUT 50.00 DOLLARS IN MY GAS TANK AND DROVE 12 MILES TO GET MY THREE GRANDCHILDREN. WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY GOING 64 MILES PER HR IN THE FAST LANE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OVER THREE LANES TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY BUT ONLY MADE IT TO THE SLOW LANE. I HAD TO CALL 911 BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I ALMOST GOT HIT EIGHT TIMES WAITING FOR THE STATE TROOPER TO GET TO ME SO HE COULD PUSH US OUT OF HARMS WAY WITH HIS PATROL CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WASN'T A RECALL! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

FUEL TANK LEVELS NOT ACCURATE. YELLOW LIGHT WARNING WHEN TANK IS NEAR FULL CAPACITY . HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME NOW..

ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE. FLUCTUATES CONSTANTLY BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR AT A STOP. WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL OR PARTIAL DOES NOT MATTER. CANNOT RELY ON GAS GAUGE ANY LONGER. COULD CAUSE A STALL WHILE IN MOTION WHICH WOULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MATTER ALL OVER THE INTERNET. A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE. BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN OFF UNLESS THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON. AT TIMES, IT WILL START AUTOMATICALLY EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. SOMETIMES THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN ON OR OFF AT ALL. FUEL SYSTEM IS FAULTY. CONSISTENTLY PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO GO OUT REPEATEDLY, AND THE FUEL GAUGE TO STOP WORKING. MOTOR IN THE DRIVERS SEAT STOPPED WORKING AFTER MONTHS OF PROBLEMS. THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING. WE'VE REPLACED THE FUSE, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING 10 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE NEDDLE OF THE GAS WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN LIKE I DIDN'T HAVE GAS, AND THE CAR TURN OFF ITSELF. SO I PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN SO IT WORK AGAIN BUT THE NEEDLE TOOK 15 MINUTES TO GO UP ALL THE WAY TO FULL. AND I KNOW MY TANK WAS FULL BECAUSE I PUMP WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE. SO I KEEP DRIVING FOR 3 DAYS AND FILLED AGAIN MY TANK THE NIGHT BEFORE AND NEXT DAY I TURN ON THE CAR AGAIN THE NEDDLE WENT DOWN A QUARTER. THE MECANIC SAI WAS THE FUEL SENSOR PUMP GAS. AND I HEAR OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIR COST ME 730 DOLLARS .

WHEN THIS OCCURRED MY ON DASH COMPUTER WENT CRAZY LIGHTING UP THEN TURNING OFF, WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE CAR AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES THE COMPUTER SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF. FILLING THE TANK THE GAUGE READ EMPTY AND REMAINED THAT WAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE GAUGE OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AFTER FAILURE. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE SCHEDULED THE GAUGE REPAIR WITH MY DEALER.

AFTER PICKING UP MY HUSBAND FROM WORK, WE STOPPED AT A STORE, WHERE I STAYED IN MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHILE HUBBY WENT IN, I HAPPENED TO LOOKOVER AT GAUGES AND NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE SLOWLY GOING DOWN. WHEN HUBBY CAME OUT OF STORE I HAD HIM CHECK TO SEE IF WE HAD A FUEL LEAK, AND NOTHING SEEMED TO BE LEAKING. WE LEFT STORE AND GAS GAUGE CONTINUED TO DECREASE UNTIL LIGHT CAME ON AND GAUGE READS EMPTY. THIS STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE. *TR

GAUGE IS NOT REPORT ACCURATE READING. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING A TANK OF GAS AND DRIVING FROM THE SERVICE STATION, MY DISPLAY REGISTERED EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED. I REVIEWED THE VEHICLE OWNER'S MANUAL AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I RETAINED THE LETTER REGARDING THIS "POSSIBLE" SITUATION THAT I RECEIVED IN 2012 OR 2013 (NOT DATED), AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I NORMALLY HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. SINCE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE MILEAGE (120,000), I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE 50/50 PAYMENT AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WOULD BE 922.83 TO REPAIR. I TELEPHONED GENERAL MOTORS REGARDING THE CONDITION AND ADVISED THAT I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR, SINCE THE CONDITION WAS ANTICIPATED AND NOT DUE TO NORMAL USAGE. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND CONTINUED SAFETY ISSUE, CHEVROLET SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. THIS REMAINS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS NOT ROUTINE OR ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE COST IS EXCESSIVE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT GM WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OR PAY ANY PORTION OF THE ASSOCIATED COST; AT THE LEAST, ALL PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED TO CORRECT THIS ANTICIPATED PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT GM WOULD NOT PAY ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPAIR. CONSUMERS ARE ASKED TO BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND MANUFACTURERS DO NOT MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE CONTINUED PURCHASES. *JS

INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING. IN NOVEMBER, MY FUEL GAUGE AND DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER BEGAN TO SPONTANEOUSLY READ ERRATICALLY AND WOULD NOT ACCURATELY SHOW ME HOW MUCH GAS I HAD. CONDITION HAS RAPIDLY PROGRESSED TO WHERE THE FUEL GAUGE ALMOST CONSTANTLY READS EMPTY, LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND FUEL LEVEL LOW IS DISPLAYED IN THE DIC. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 10054B WHICH STATES IT IS A PREMATURE WEARING OF THE FUEL SENSOR AND I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A MAILED NOTICE FROM GM REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SUCH NOTICE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN AND MY WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED SO THERE WILL NOT BE "VEHICLE ELIGIBILITY" FOR THE DEALER TO CONFIRM THROUGH THE "APPLICABLE WARRANTIES SECTION IN THE GLOBAL WARRANTY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM." THIS ISSUE IS BIGGER THAN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM AND NEEDS TO BE A FULL RECALL, NOT A 50/50 SHARED RESPONSIBILITY WITH THE CUSTOMER WHEN GM ACKNOWLEDGES THE ISSUE IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT PREMATURELY WEARS AND CAUSES THE MALFUNCTION. ALSO, THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP INCLUDING THE SENDING UNIT AND FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, NOT JUST THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS STARTING TO FLUCTUATE. I JUST FILLED IT UP AND WHEN I GO DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL GO DOWN AT LEAST A QUARTER OF A TANK AND WHEN I STOP AND LET IT RUN IDLE FOR AWHILE IT WILL GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS. IT JUST STARTED THIS PAST WEEK. FROM WHAT I AM READING, IT WON'T BELONG BEFORE I WILL HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER BUNCH OF MONEY INTO IT. LAST MONTH I HAD TO PUT A NEW THROTTLE BODY ON IT BECAUSE THE SENSORS WENT BAD AND WITH THIS YEAR THE SENSORS ARE IN THE THROTTLE BODY, SO YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE THING. AS I WAS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE PART FOR THE SEAT CONTROLS ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE SEAT JUST BUSTED OFF. EVERYTIME IT GETS COLDER OUT, THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM WON'T STAY ON. IT WAS ALWAYS OFF IN THE WINTER TIME, NEVER WORKED. WHEN LIVING IN MICHIGAN AND GETTING LAKE EFFECT SNOW ALOT OF THE TIME, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. BEEN BUYING THEM AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS, MORE AND MORE OF THE NEWER VEHICLES HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS. I DON'T MAKE THAT MUCH MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY RELIABLE AND TAKE DAYS OFF OF WORK TO GET THEM FIXED. NO THANK YOU. *TR

OVER THE PAST MONTH THERE HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. I PUT GAS IN MY CAR AND THE GAGE MOVES UP THEN GOES BACK DOWN TO EMPTY IN SECONDS. EVERYDAY I HAVE TO PUT AT LEAST 2 GALLONS OF GAS IN MY SUV TO KEEP IT FROM STOPPING ON A STREET OR FREEWAY BECAUSE I'M OUT OF GAS. IT'S HARD TO JUDGE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TRAILBLAZER!WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY SUV THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT STAY NOR MOVE ON THE PROPER GALLONS OF GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK! *TR

WHILE PICKING MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL ON 11/15/2012 I SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC, THEN I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DRIVE DOOR IT WAS SMOKING REALLY BAD. I PUT THE CAR AND PARK AND OPENED THE DOOR, A POLICE OFFICER WAS NEAR AS I WAS IN THE SCHOOL ZONE HE SAW THE SMOKE COMING FROM MY CAR AND ASK ME WAS I OKAY. HE TURNED THE CAR OFF UNSURE IF A FIRE WAS STARTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE SMOKE STOPPED, BUT MY MAIN POWER WINDOW AND DOOR WAS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. MY CAR SMELLED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC FOR MONTHS. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE MOTOR MAY HAVE BURNED OUT AND IT WOULD COST $550.00 TO HAVE REPAIRED. I NOTICED ON 01/26/2013 MY GAS GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING. I STOPPED AT A LOCAL GAS STATION AND FILLED MY CAR UP WITH $62.00 WORTH THE GAS AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON IT SHOWED MY CAR WAS ON EMPTY AND THE GAUGE LIGHT REMAINED LIT ALONG WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT. SO I TURNED THE CAR BACK OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 30 SEC AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT STAYED THE SAME. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THE FUEL SENSOR WAS BAD AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A NEW FUEL PUMP PUT IN. I BOUGHT MY CAR ON 02/27/2010 PRE-OWNED WITH 76,000 MILES ON IT, AND WAS GIVEN A CAR FAX REPORT, AND IT WAS CLEAN. I READ ALL THESE REVIEWS ABOUT THE 2007 TRAILBLAZERS AND IT SEEMS THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE CORRECTED AS THEY HAVE TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AT A LOCAL WAWA GAS STATION THAT I'VE USED SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, I BEGAN TO HEAD HOME AFTER WORK. AS I LEFT THE PARKING LOT AND PROCEEDED TO MERGE ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY MY FUEL GAUGE AND FUEL PUMP COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, TRUCK HAD SHUT OFF AS IF IT HAD RUN COMPLETELY OUT OF GAS, WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE AS I HAD JUST FILLED THE 22 GALLON TANK WITH APPROX. 20 GALLONS OF FUEL. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE FUEL PUMP OPERATING AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THE FUEL PUMP WILL OPERATE PROPERLY. UNFORTUNATELY MY FIANCE AND CHILD NOW HAVE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT OF OUR SECOND VEHICLE BEING SOLD. IT HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE IS NO BEARING ON FUEL LEVEL IN VEHICLE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS ISSUE TO BE A RECURRING THEME FOR THE MODEL YEARS 2005 - 2007 AS WELL AS SEEING SPECIAL POLICY LETTERS SENT OUT BY GM TO ACQUAINTANCES WITH THE SAME MODEL YEAR SUV FOR A REBATED REPAIR FROM A LICENSED GM DEALER AND YET I'VE NOT RECEIVED ONE. ITS NOW AFFECTING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR MY VEHICLE TO COMPLY WITH STATE REGULATIONS. I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH ANY RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD FALL ON THE CONSUMER FOR A PART THAT WAS POORLY FABRICATED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

WE NEED YOUR HELP! ***FAULTY GAS GAUGE*** OUR 19-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES OUR 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, WHICH APPARENTLY HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. OUR DAUGHTER NOTICED HER GAS GAUGE "DROPPED" TO E AND SHE BELIEVED SHE WAS ABOUT TO BE STRANDED ON A DANGEROUS PART OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND SHE PANICKED. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT SHE JUST FORGOT TO FILL UP. AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLY TO FIND THAT NHTSA AND CHEVROLET ALREADY KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND NEGLECTED TO INITIATE A TOTAL RECALL OR ANY NOTIFICATION AT ALL. WE NEVER EVEN RECEIVED A WARNING LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM CHEVROLET. HOWEVER, WE ROUTINELY RECEIVE OTHER, APPARENTLY MORE IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE, SUCH AS, SALES LITERATURE FOR WARRANTIES AND ONSTAR. ****IF THIS WAS ONE OF YOUR DAUGHTERS AND SHE WAS STRANDED BECAUSE OF A FALSE READING, AND SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENED TO HER BECAUSE SHE WAS STRANDED, I THINK YOU WOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE MORE AGGRESSIVELY****** WE HAVE READ THAT CHEVY WILL PAY FOR 1/2 OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY. THIS IS A QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE ON CHEVY?S PART, NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE ON OUR PART. WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO IMPLORE THAT CHEVY COMPLETELY TAKE CARE OF THIS REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE TO US. TAKING TIME OFF FROM WORK AND SCHOOL, PLUS THE THREAT OF POSSIBLY STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND BEING KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IS INCONVENIENCE ENOUGH. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMETHING ESPECIALLY TERRIBLE HAPPENS TO ANYONE. THANK YOU. *TR

SOME OF THE ITEMS FORTHCOMING HAPPEN ALL TOGETHER AND/OR INTERMITTENTLY SEPARATE. THE INITIAL ISSUES NOTICEABLY STARTED UPON MY ARRIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED BEFORE MY RELOCATION, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I DID MYSELF. I CAME OUT TO MY CAR ON SATURDAY, 6/16/12. MY CAR WINDOW WAS DOWN AND SOME ITEMS WERE STOLEN. I DID NOT SEE ANY GLASS ON THE GROUND SO I THOUGHT I LEFT THE WINDOW DOWN MYSELF AND SOMEONE JUST STOLEN ITEMS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE COMPLEX SECURITY AND REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO HOA, I CAME OUT THE TRUCK AGAIN IT SMELLED OF WIRES BURNING AND THE WINDOW WAS DOWN AGAIN. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO GET THE WHEELS BALANCED AND OIL CHANGE AT FIRESTONE. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT, NOR DID THE ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT GO OUT. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT THE SMELL OF WIRES BURNING HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE REMAINED ON FOR OVER 2 WEEKS, THEN WENT OFF. IN THE LATE FALL THERE WAS A REALLY BAD THUNDERSTORM AND WHEN ARRIVED TO TRUCK AFTER WORK; RUNNING IN RAIN, I SAW THAT MY WINDOW WAS DOWN AND I COULD NOT GET THE WINDOW BACK UP FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I WAS SOAKED AND SO WAS THE CAR. THE TRUCK RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE RECENTLY AND ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OUT AND THE WALMART MECHANIC WHO DID THE OIL CHANGE STATED THAT HE SMELLED GAS AND SOME WIRES BURNING, LIGHTS ON PANEL WOULD NOT GO OUT. SMELL OF WIRES BURNING. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS-THEN GOES OFF BY ITSELF. ALL LIGHTS EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON PANEL INTERMITTENTLY ON (OIL/TRACTION/TIRE PRESSURE). FUEL GAUGE SHOWS/CLICKS AS FULL, SMELLS LIKE GAS IN TRUCK AND RUNS OUT OF FUEL WITH GAUGE SHOWING FULL. DRIVER'S WINDOW GOES DOWN WHEN KEYS ARE NOT IN TRUCK. HEATING KNOB ON OFF, STILL BLOWING HOT OR COLD AIR AND GAUGE DOES NOT TURN ON PAST 2. LIGHTS DIM WHEN USING POWER BUTTON FOR WINDOWS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AND INACCURATE READING OF ONE QUARTER FULL WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE CONTACT CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAS ASSISTED BY HAVING FUEL DISPENSE NED INTO THE TANK AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT.

MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER STARTED GIVING INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READINGS AT A LITTLE OVER 50000. INITIALLY IT MIGHT SHOW A PARTIALLY FILLED TANK WHEN IT WAS FULL. NOW AT ABOUT 58000MILES IT JUST SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEY SAID GM WOULD ONLY PAY ONE-HALF THE 500.00 NEEDED TO REPAIR THE GAUGE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON LINE I LEARNED THAT PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS UNFAIR, OBVIOUSLY IT IS A PROBLEM GM NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE AS A VEHICLE DEFECT AND RECALL AND FIX THEM. THANKS *TR

THE PUMP INDICATED 15 GALLONS ON THE FILL UP BUT THE TANK HOLDS OVER 20. STARTED DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED FULL, THEN DROPPED TO EMPTY (LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON) AND THEN THE TANK WENT BACK UP TO FULL.

THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY. AFTER A FILLUP, I DROVE TO WORK, WHEN I DROVE HOME LATER, THE GAS GAUGE READ NEAR EMPTY. I THOUGHT SOMEONE STOLE GAS FROM MY TANK. I GET OFF WORK AT MIDNIGHT AND LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, SO I WAS VERY WORRIED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF GAS BEFORE I GOT HOME. (THERE ARE NO GAS STATIONS ON MY ROUTE). NEXT DAY I GOT A CAN OF GAS TO FILL THE TANK ENOUGH TO GET ME TO A STATION, AND I FOUND THE TANK TO BE FULL. SINCE THEN THE GAUGE HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING BETWEEN HALF FULL AND EMPTY ACTIVATING THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT. THIS IS VERY UNNERVING AND I WON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT NOW. ASKED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON AND GM WILL PAY HALF REPAIR COST. CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE HELP LINE CONFIRMED THEY HAVE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT HALF PRICE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO GET REPAIRS DONE WHEN THEY ARE ADMITTING IT IS DEFECTIVE?. *TR

MY CAR KILLED, AS THOUGH IT HAD NO GAS WHEN IN DEED HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED FOR ALMOST HOUR AND HALF, I MISSED WORK AND AM NOW DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT KNOWING I HAVE GAS YET THE CAR ISN'T READING THAT IT DOES. I EVEN ADDED GAS, 25.00 WORTH TOOK A PICTURE OF IT STATING HALF TANK GAS, DROVE OUT THE GAS STATION AND IMMEDIATELY I WAS ON EMPTY WITH THE EMPTY LIGHT ON, WHICH I AGAIN TOOK A PICTURE STATING TIME AND DATE. *TR

I WAS AT THE GAS STATION FUELING MY TRAILBLAZER. AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE I GOT IN AND STARTED IT UP. THE FUEL HAND WENT TO THE TOP OF THE GAUGE, AS EXPECTED, AND THEN WENT ALL THE WAY TO E. IT HAS NOT FUNCTIONED SINCE. I HAVE TO USE MY TRIP MILEAGE METER TO GAUGE MILEAGE SO THAT I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE. OUR TRAILBLAZER IS OUR PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE AND IT IS DANGEROUS NOT TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN YOUR VEHICLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE OUR SMALL CHILD WITH US MOST OF THE TIME. *TR
