2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

I RAN OUT OF GAS AND THE CAR LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE MY FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT....UPDATED 08/25/15*BF

Mileage: 110,000

SOME TIMES FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AND SOME TIMES READS FULL AND STILL IT MAY A THIRD EMPTY OR 16 GALLONS FULL. *TR

Mileage: 64,000

FUEL GAUGE ACTS RADICALLY GOING FROM EMPTY TO FULL. AT THIS TIME IS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND GO AS IF IT'S OUT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPEN AT 55 MILES AN HOUR TO LOW AS 35 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPEN WITH IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON FROM BEHIND TO HIT ME AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPEN IN A PART OF THE CITY WHERE A PERSON LIKE ME, A WHITE, FEMALE, AND ALONE AT THE TIME COULD HAVE LOST A LOT DUE TO THE HIGH CRIME RATE IN THE AREA. *TR

Mileage: 82,000

I FILLED THE VEHICLE UP TO FULL WITH GASOLINE. THE BELL CHIMED SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND LOW FUEL LIGHT, AND WARNING CAME ON SHOWING LOW FUEL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM IN 2013 ABOUT A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH EARLY WEAR OF THE FUEL SENSOR CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THEY COVERED THE EXPENSE OF REPAIR UP TO 120,000 MILES. WE NOW HAVE 134,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM JUST CAME UP, SO WILL NOT BE COVERED BY GM. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER ONLINE, SO I KNOW THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY GM. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME AND BELIEVE GM IS NOT RECALLING THIS FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM AS THEY SHOULD BE DOING. *TR

Mileage: 133,486

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE TIRE AIR SENSOR INDICATED THAT AIR IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS LOW BUT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT AIR IN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS LOW. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE CAR REGISTER EMPTY WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP THE CAR, AND THE TIRED GAUGE LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

Mileage: 71,200

I WAS LEAVING WORK HEADED HOME, AND MY GAS GAUGE READ 1/2 A TANK OF GAS. AS I WAS GOING UP A HILL MY TRUCK SLOWLY COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE IN 5PM TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT.11. *TR

Mileage: 111,936

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH ON 2 LANE STATE ROUTE. MY FUEL LOW INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD AND GET HAZARD LIGHTS TURNED ON BEFORE AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. AFTER FILLING TANK EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. THEN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER AGAIN THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR SHUTS OFF IMMEDIATELY. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BY GETTING CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND USING HAZARD LIGHTS. AFTER THIS INCIDENT WE FILLED THE TANK AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR STAYED LIT, THEN WENT OFF, FUEL GAUGE SHOWED FULL, THEN 1/2, THEN 3/4, THEN LOW FUEL LIGHT BACK ON (ALL THIS HAPPENED IN THE 12 MILES TO GET HOME). NOW THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS TO REFUEL EVERY FEW HUNDRED MILES AND THAT IS WRONG. *TR

Mileage: 75,000

AFTER FILLING MY TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD DRIFT BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY AND THEN SETTLE ON THE EMPTY SIDE. NOW IT DOES NOT EVEN MOVE FROM THAT LOCATION! *TR

Mileage: 78,000

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY - IT SHOWS EMPTY (AND BEEPS) AFTER A FILLUP. IT NEVER SHOWS THE PROPER LEVEL OF FUEL. *TR

Mileage: 87,000

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS FAILED. *TR

Mileage: 40,395

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY AND A CHIME SOUNDED EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK. THE DEFECT HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 09/05/13*LJ

Mileage: 55,000

THE GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE FROM 1/4 TANK TO "EMPTY" FUEL LOW AND THE WARNING CHIME WENT OFF. THERE WAS AT LEAST 5 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK. I CLEAR THE FUEL USED AND TRIP A EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK SO I ALWAYS KNOW ROUGHLY HOW MANY GALLONS ARE IN THE TANK. SO I KNEW WHEN THE FUEL LOW LIGHT CAME ON THIS WAS NOT TRUE. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE FUEL LOW INDICATOR REMAINED ON BUT OVER THE NEXT 3-5 MINUTES THE GAUGE RETURNED TO THE 1/4 TANK POSITION. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES BUT HAS NOT OCCURRED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO BRING IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO SHOW THEM PROOF OF THE FUEL INDICATOR OR GAS GAUGE SENDING UNIT IS FAILING. SINCE THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER PEOPLE I WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST AS I FEEL THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER LINE AND IM HOPING FOR A FULL RECALL. I OWNED A GMC JIMMY BEFORE THIS AND THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE JIMMY. IM WAITING FOR THE FAILURE TO PRESENT ITSELF AGAIN SO I CAN TAKE IT FOR REPAIR. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SEE THAT CHEVY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IT WITH A 50% OFF REPAIR OFFER, IM HOPING I CAN JUST GET THE REPAIR DONE. SO WHILE NO BIG SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRED, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR IT. *TR

Mileage: 65,000

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK.. MY MOTHER HAS RAN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS BECAUSE SHE HAS TO CALCULATE HER MILEAGE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT SHE HAS RECEIPTS ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH MILES AND GALLONS WRITTEN ON THEM . MY COMPLAINT IS IF THIS IS A CHEVY PROBLEM WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY HALF TO GET IT FIXED? WE ALSO OWN A CHEVY HD TRUCK WITH SAME PROBLEM. EVERYTIME I TAKE MY CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE OR REPAIRED PEOPLE ALWAYS TELL ME ABOUT OTHER TRAILBLAZER CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! WHAT'S UP WITH THIS? *TR

VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. FOUND NO FUEL IN SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH FUEL INDICATOR NOTED A HALF TANK. A WEEK AFTER THIS THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON 15 MILES AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE AND WILL NOT GO OFF. WE NOW HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF FUEL BY USING THE TRIP COMPUTER. *TR

Mileage: 70,523

I HAD GONE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND ON THE WAY HOME MY POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING COOLER HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART ON MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM. IF THIS PART RUSTS OUT ON DIFFERENT YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION LINES GASOLINE LINES AND POWER STEERING LINES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE GASOLINE LINE AND FUEL PUMP ON THE 2003 , AND JUST REPLACED TRANSMISSION LINE ON THE 2007. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ENGINEERING CHANGE ON THESE VEHICLES. I ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE 2007 TRAILBLAZER FOR THE ELECTRIC WINDOW SWITCH. THE NOTICE SAID I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR NOTIFICATION. IT COST ME $350.00 TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING REPAIRED.. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE GAS GAUGE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE ALWAYS READ EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ALWAYS STAYED ON. THE SEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THERE WAS A DEFECT AND A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. HE WAS INFORMED PART OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE PAID BY GM AND HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMAINING. THE CONSUMER STATED HE NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. THE CONSUMER STATED HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A PART THAT WAS RECALLED.

THE FUEL GAUGE LEVEL INDICATOR JUST WENT FROM "FULL" TO "EMPTY", IT JUST WENT THAT FAST. MINUTES BEFORE IT HAD JUST BEEN FILLED AT THE GAS STATION. WHEN STARTING, THE GAUGE RISES THEN FALLS TO EMPTY. ON OCCASIONS THE WARNING MESSAGE, "PLEASE TIGHTEN GAS CAP" COMES ON. NOW MONTHS LATER, SAME PROBLEM; AFTER CONTACTING "GM" HOTLINE, THEY STILL HAVE NOT SHOWN ANY CONCERN. I KEEP TRACK OF MILES DRIVEN SINCE LAST FILL-UP AND GAS USED, SO I KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO FILL-UP. I HAVE READ MANY SAME COMPLAINTS, AND I WONDER WHY "GM" HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. IT IS NOW 08/21/2012 AND PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. PLEASE. "GM" HAS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SUGGESTED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, TO DO SO, REQUIRES A FIVE (5) HOUR VISIT AND THEY EXPECT THE CUSTOMER TO PAY HALF THE COST. PLEASE HELP.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH ALL DOORS LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE NOT RUNNING. THE REMOTE UNLOCK BUTTON WAS ENGAGED AND ALL DOORS UNLOCKED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRIVER DOOR. THE REMOTE UNLOCK WAS ENGAGED 3 TO 4 MORE TIMES. THE DOOR WAS MANUALLY UNLOCKED FROM PASSENGER'S SIDE. WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED, SMOKE WAS POURING OUT OF THE INSIDE. WE POURED AVAILABLE LIQUIDS DOWN THE WINDOW SLOT BUT SMOKE WAS STILL POURING OUT. WHILE MY SPOUSE WENT INSIDE THE BUSINESS WHERE WE WERE PARKED TO GRAB A PITCHER OF WATER, I JERKED THE PLASTIC OVAL PIECE AROUND THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE OFF AND SAW FLAMES. HE RETURNED WITH THE PITCHER AND WE POURED THE WATER DOWN THE OPEN HOLE AT THE DOOR HANDLE AND FINALLY MANAGED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. WE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME BUT NONE OF THE DOOR FUNCTIONS WORKED AT ALL. IT IS GOING TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $600 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRAILBLAZER SINCE THAT TIME. ALSO THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. WE FINALLY FIXED THAT ISSUE TODAY. THE NEXT ISSUE TO REPAIR AFTER THE DOOR IS THE HEAT/AIR ACTUATOR AS THE AIR CONDITIONING NO LONGER COMES THRU MY AIR CONDITIONING VENTS. *TR.. UPDATED 08-27-12 *BF THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. UPDATED 08/28/12

Mileage: 125,000

I WILL SOON BE REPLACING MY 3RD FUEL PUMP. YOU CAN NOT PURCHASE A SENDING UNIT SEPARATELY AND YOU CAN NOT REPLACE A FUEL FILTER FOR MAINTENANCE. ALSO THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH STOPPED OPERATING YESTERDAY AFTER A BURNING SMELL FILLED THE TRUCK. THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH IS MELTED. HAD ISSUES WITH I FIRST BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH IT "SHUTTING DOWN" ON THE HIGHWAY, NO GAS, NO POWER STEERING, NO CONTROL. RECEIVED A YEAR OF FREE OIL CHANGES FROM CHEVY AFTER A COMPLAINT WAS FILED, THEY STILL TO THIS DAY CAN NOT TELL MY WHY MY TRUCK WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN. *TR ....UPDATED 06/18/12 *BF UPDATED IVOQ 06/20/12

Mileage: 118,000

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE READS "FULL". AS I DRIVE, IT STEADILY DROPS TO ABOUT 2/3 FULL, THEN IT SUDDENLY DROPS TO "EMPTY". AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE, THE GAUGE BEGINS TO RISE, AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS WAS BACK TO "EMPTY". THIS REPEATS NOW AFTER EVERY FILL. AS I SEARCH THE INTERNET, I FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER PROBLEM. HAS IT BECOME A RECALL? *TR

Mileage: 68,000

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN FLUCTUATING FROM PROPER FUEL LEVEL READING TO EMPTY AT AROUND 74,000 MILES. AFTER FEW WEEKS OF THIS, THE FUEL GAUGE NOW CONSISTENTLY READS EMPTY AFTER DRIVING 115 - 120 MILES ON A FULL TANK, WHICH INDICATES A FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENSING UNIT. I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE BASED ON THE TRIP ODOMETER AND I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE SINCE THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE WAY TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK A ON HEAVILY TRAVELED BRIDGE WITH NO SHOULDER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!!! ALSO AT AROUND 75,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL OFF LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MAINTENANCE LIGHT PERIODICALLY TURN ON. *JS

Mileage: 74,000

LIVING IN MAINE, IT'S NOT LIKE THERE ARE GAS STATIONS ON EVERY STREET CORNER. I LEFT FOR WORK ONE MORNING, KNOWING I HAD PLENTY OF GAS, MY SURPRISE APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY THERE, MY GAS LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAUGE WAS ON EMPTY. I WAS IN A PANIC, I STILL HAD ABOUT 15 MILES TO GO BEFORE I WAS NEAR A GAS STATION. I FINALLY GOT TO A GAS STATION, AND SURPRISE AGAIN, IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 10 GALLONS TO FILL IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 800,000 COMPLAINTS ON FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS ON THESE TYPE VEHICLES!! COME ON, TIMES ARE TOUGH, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED.. DO A RECALL!! *TR *KB

Mileage: 40,000

FUEL SENSOR NEVER GIVES CORRECT READING CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ALSO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF ONLY WORKING SOME OF THE TIME AND GOING IN AND OUT AS I AM DRIVING. *JS

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN REGISTERING ERRATICALLY IN 2010. APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS LATER, IT COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. THE CAR STALLED AND DIED AS I WAS CROSSING 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC FROM A DRIVEWAY. AS IT WAS NOT UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, CHEVY HAS NOW AGREED TO PAY 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR DUE TO PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION. HOWEVER, THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY GREATER THAN HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A COWORKER ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2005 GMC ENVOY. HE HAS SINCE REPLACED THE VEHICLE DUE TO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MY FATHER-IN-LAW HAS ALSO REPLACED HIS 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COST $800 TO REPAIR. THIS REPAIR SHOULD NOT BE A VOLUNTARY 50% COST TO GMC BUT RATHER A RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION. *TR

Mileage: 45,048

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE PROVIDED AN ERRONEOUS READING OF EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 56,000.

Mileage: 56,000

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON, NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT FLUCTUATES BACK AND FORTH. NEVER SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. WHICH THIS CREATES A BIG PROBLEM SINCE I TRANSPORT HANDICAP PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE. ALSO DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPERATES VERY SLOW, SOMETIMES IT HESITATES ON ROLLING UP. I HAVE TO LET IT SET FOR A WHILE, THEN TRY ROLLING IT UP AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES DOING THIS, IT HAS FINALLY ROLLED UP ALL THE WAY. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS, WITHOUT CONSUMER PAYING FOR ANY OF IT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE SEEM TO BE ONGOING PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY REFERENCE MY DOOR PANEL HASN'T CAUGHT FIRE YET, WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. ALSO MY SLICK, SKID CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON VERY EASILY WHEN I TAKE OFF AND STAY ON TILL I CAN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, AND HOPE DOESN'T COME BACK ON WHEN I START TO DRIVE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY READS EMPTY WHEN TANK HAS BEEN FILLED. FUEL GAUGE WILL JUMP FROM EMPTY, TO 3/4 TANK, TO 1/2 FULL TO 1/4 TANK AND BACK TO EMPTY WITH FUEL LIGHT AND AUDIO WARNING WITHIN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

Mileage: 65,000

MY FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. I ALSO HAVE NO POWER ANYTHING ON MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. *TR

I HAD STARTED MY TRUCK TO LET IT WARM UP, AFTER COMING BACK OUT I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE WAS INCORRECT, I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND WATCHED THE GAUGE GO FROM 3/4 OF A TANK TO 1/2. I TOOK IT TO SEE IF THE BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR WAS BAD, THE BATTERY TESTED BAD, SO I REPLACED IT. THE TRUCK WAS WORKING FINE, UNTIL 2/26/12, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES I NOTICED THE GAUGE HAD GONE FROM 3/4 TO 1/2. WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT I WATCHED IT THEN GO FROM 1/2 TO 1/4 OF A TANK. I DROVE TO GET GAS AND IT ONLY TOOK $21.00 TO FILL IT. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT, AND WHY THE MANUFACTURER IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS PRODUCT AND DO NOT FEEL THAT THE COMPANY IS LOOKING OUT FOR US. I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM A RECALL AND MAKE IT RIGHT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE STOOD BY THEM. *TR

Mileage: 67,000

AFTER PUTTING IN 13 GALS OF FUEL, THE GAUGE GOES BACK & FORTH FROM FULL TO EMPTY. THE CAUSE THE EMPTY LIGHT TO COME ON. THE GAUGE GOES BACK TO HALF. THIS JUST OCCURRED. *TR

Mileage: 36,797

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING WHICH INDICATED THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE FUEL TANK CONSUMED HALF THE FUEL LEVEL CAPACITY WHEN THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FUEL LEVER SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COST DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,019. ..UPDATED 09/07/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL GAUGE READ 3/4 FULL. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 15 MILES, THE FUEL GAUGE ALARMED TO NOTIFY THE TANK WAS NEAR EMPTY. GM HAD A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" NOT A RECALL. UPDATED 09/17/2012 *JS

Mileage: 28,019

#1-THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ON THIS VEHICLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD GET AN ANSWER FOR WHY IT WOULD JUST SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING. IT WAS THERE THAT I FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THEY COULD FIX IT FOR $500. I ENDED UP HAVING JUST THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. CHEVROLET IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AS THEY SENT ME A PAPER SAYING THAT IF I GOT IT REPAIRED AT A CHEVY GARAGE THEY WOULD REIMBURSE 50% OF THE COSTS. TO ME HAVING BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS CHEVY SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED NOT ME! #2- DURING ROUTINE DRIVING WE ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND IT FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. I TRIED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAD NO LUCK. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I LOOKED TO SEE IF MAYBE A WIRE WAS CUT IN THE DOOR HINGE AREA, WHICH IT WASN'T, AND PUT MY FINGER ON THE SWITCH AND NOTICED IT WAS EXTREMELY WARM. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, LEFT THE DOOR OPENED AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL DOWN. IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND STILL GETS VERY WARM WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. *TR

Mileage: 60,801

FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT HAS FAILED. THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER READS ACCURATELY. IT WILL SHOW EMPTY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHILE THE TANK IN FULL, ALSO MASKING AN ACTUAL CHECK ENGINE PROBLEM. IT ALSO SHOWS FULL FUEL WHEN THE TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL. *TR

Mileage: 102,000

GAS GAUGE STOP WORKING. *TR

Mileage: 49,000

THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER CONTINUOUSLY DROPS TO EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER STARTING MY CAR, DESPITE HAVING A FULL TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. *TR

FIRST INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM WAS ERRATIC LEVEL READINGS ON THE FUEL GAUGE AS WELL AS ENGINE PROBLEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL,ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. THESE FAULTS ARE VERY DISCONCERTING AS WELL AS BEING DANGEROUS. WHAT IF A LEGITIMATE ENGINE PROBLEM DEVELOPS? WHAT IF WE MIS-CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS IN THE TANK AND WE ARE ON SOME HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC OR SOMEWHERE LATE AT NIGHT? IN MY OPINION,CHEVROLET SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS DEFECT, THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ONE (1) DOLLAR FOR A FAULTY PART. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHEVROLET THAT I WILL EVER OWN IF THEY DO NOT DO THE RIGHT THING. I WORK WITH A LOT OF AUTO ENTHUSIASTS AND I HAVE TOLD SOME OF THEM ABOUT THIS VEHICLES' ISSUES,THEY ARE NOT IMPRESSED. *TR

Mileage: 52,368

I NOTICED THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY GAS GAUGE WHEN I WAS SITTING AT THE BANK DRIVE THRU AND IT DINGED AT ME THAT I NEEDED GAS. I THOUGHT IT ODD, BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD JUST FILLED UP. I WENT TO FILL UP AND IT ONLY COST $20, SO THEN I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. GAS GAUGE STAYED AT 1/2 TANK REGARDLESS OF FULL OR EMPTY, THEN GOT STUCK AT 1/4 TANK, NOW STAYS ON EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF MILES AND ALWAYS FILL UP (WHICH IS NOT EASY IF THE FUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE). I'VE SINCE RUN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES. LUCKILY, EITHER TIME, NEITHER OF MY 2 SMALL KIDS WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING, NOT ONLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS, BUT EVEN MORE SO HEARING THAT GM IS ONLY WILLING TO COVER 1/2 OF THE EXPENSE, IF YOU TAKE YOUR TRUCK TO AN ALREADY OVER PRICED DEALERSHIP. *KB

Mileage: 50,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STUCK ON ZERO AND HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 95,000. UPDATED 02/15/12*BF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED. UPDATED 04/18/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATED AND FAILED TO REGISTER AN ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CONSTANT MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. UPDATED 02/03/12*LJ

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR IN MY '07 TRAILBLAZER, I HAD ABOUT 1/3 OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN I PARKED AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF TO GO INTO A STORE. WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE LOW-FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO FILL THE TANK AND ONLY NEEDED ABOUT 11 GALLONS, WHICH IS WHEN I CONFIRMED THE GAUGE WAS WRONG. THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO SHOW EMPTY AND HAS EVER SINCE. I AM NOW DOING MY BEST TO KEEP TRACK OF FUEL BY ESTIMATING USAGE BASED ON THE MILES DRIVEN AFTER EACH FILL-UP. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THE RECALL AND I'M OUTRAGED THAT GM IS STILL ONLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS IF DONE AT A DEALER, WHICH, BY THE WAY IS WHY I HAVEN'T HAD THIS REPAIR DONE YET. I'VE READ IN SOME CASES THERE HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED COSTS BETWEEN $700 AND $1200. SO IF GM IS ONLY GOING TO PAY HALF OF THE COST, I'M LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY $600 OR SO TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT GM HAS ADMITTED IS A PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR, AND I HOPE THAT I AM ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF MY GAS BASED ON MILEAGE SO I NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS, ESPECIALLY WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE I OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE OWNER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. GM SHOULD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS HAPPY AND KEEP THEM COMING BACK. IS THERE ANY HELP OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION? I KNOW THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, I KNOW GM HAS ONLY OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE COST, BUT WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THIS ADDITIONAL EXPENSE? I KNOW THERE ARE MANY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IN 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN FLUCTUATING FROM PROPER FUEL LEVEL READING TO EMPTY AT AROUND 50,000 MILES. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS OF THIS, FUEL GAUGE FAILED ALTOGETHER AND NOW CONSISTENTLY READS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL IN TANK, WHICH INDICATES A FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENSING UNIT. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING 1/2 OF REPAIR COSTS WOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER DUE TO THE FACT THIS PROBLEM APPEARS SO COMMON AND WIDESPREAD, IT IS APPARENT THE NHTSA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BASED ON THE TRIP ODOMETER AND MY HUSBAND HAS RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE AS THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE WAY TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. BOTH TIMES HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK AND ON HEAVILY TRAVELED ROADS. THIS IN ITSELF CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

Mileage: 52,408

APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO MY LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND MY FUEL GAUGE REFLECTED EMPTY DESPITE FILLING UP MY GAS TANK JUST HOURS EARLIER. SINCE THAT TIME THIS HAS KEPT HAPPENING AND SEEMS TO ALWAYS INDICATE AN EMPTY TANK DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IS INCORRECT. EVIDENTLY THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON WITH MY VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM NEVER SURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL THAT I HAVE IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS AN APPROXIMATE $400 TOTAL REPAIR. GM STATED THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR 1/2, HOWEVER THIS IS STILL A LARGE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT I WILL ONLY GET THE 1/2 OFF AS LONG AS I BRING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. GM SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A 100% TOTAL RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT SINCE ITS SO WIDESPREAD. I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. *TR

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. READS EMPTY EVEN AFTER VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH FUEL. CHECK ENGINE IS ALWAYS ON BECAUSE OF GAUGE PROBLEM. *KB

THE FIRST TIME THE TANK READ EMPTY WAS ON NOVEMBER 23, 2011 WHEN THERE WAS ABOUT 1/4 A TANK OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE GAUGE WENT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND JUST OVER MAKING THE LIGHT AND NOISE COME ON. TODAY NOVEMBER 27, 2011 IT CAME ON AFTER FUELING A LITTLE OVER 9 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SEE IF TURNING THE CAR OFF AN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD RESET IT, IT DIDN'T WORK. WE CONTINUED ON WITH THE LIGHT ON AND DID WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO. WE WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED THE TANK THE REST OF THE WAY AND IT STILL SHOWED EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. THE TRANSMISSION MESSED UP ORIGINALLY AND NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS GAUGE INDICATOR. THIS RECENT PROBLEM STARTED LAST YEAR 2010. THE LEVELS WERE READING INACCURATELY AT THAT TIME AND SEEMED TO HAVE REPAIRED ITSELF. THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, THE INDICATORS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TRUCK AND I AM PARANOID AND CONSTANTLY GOING TO THE STORE TO ADD MORE GAS. I AM UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE MAJORITY OF CHEVY VEHICLES AND GM ACTUALLY KNOWS THAT THE PROBLEM EXIST AND HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP THE MILLIONS OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASED THESE CARS. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS ALL SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW; SO I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER. IS THERE ANY HELP FOR THE CONSUMERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED GM VEHICLES. I COULD SEE IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH ONE LINE OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY GM BUT THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS NUMEROUS OF TIMES BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE THAT GM CAN SCAM MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS AND NOT FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE WAS PROVIDING INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ ACCURATELY BUT WOULD FAIL AFTER SEVERAL MOMENTS AFTER DRIVING. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL GAUGE WHEN DRIVING WILL SHOW INACCURATE GAS LEVEL. DROPS DOWN TO EMPTY A LOT AFTER YOU PUMPED. GAS WILL FILL UP AFTER PUMP ON GAGE, BUT ALMOST CLOSE TO HALF WHEN DRIVING WILL GO DOWN AND HIT EMPTY WHEN GAS IS IN VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

Mileage: 46,000

THE GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY ALTHOUGH IT HAD BEEN FILLED LESS THAN 100 MILES EARLIER. WHEN I FILLED THE TANK RIGHT AFTER THE LIGHT WENT ON - I WAS ONLY ABLE TO PUT 8 GALLONS OF GAS IN IT. THE GAUGE THEN WOULD MOVE FROM EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON TO HALF FULL AND BACK DOWN DURING THE TRIP IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FILL UP. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE FOLLOWING MORNING, THE GAUGE WENT TO FULL BUT SHORTLY AFTER WENT BACK TO EMPTY. NOW IT CONTINUES TO READ INCONSISTENTLY EVERY TRIP MOVING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY AND OTHER TIMES REMAINING ON EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON FOR AN ENTIRE TRIP. *TR

Mileage: 47,800

FUEL SENDER FAILED 8 MONTHS AGO RESULTING IN THE GAS GAUGE ALWAYS ON EMPTY. CHEVY JUST SENT OUT A COURTESY LETTER ADVISING THEY WOULD PAY FOR HALF THE REPAIR. I FOUND 1000'S OF CASES OUT THERE FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. TO ME, THIS IS A LARGE SCALE PROBLEM THAT CHEVY SHOULD REPAIR AT NO COST TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. VERY DISAPPOINTING. CHEVY VEHICLES USED TO BE ROUGH AND TOUGH LIKE THEIR SLOGAN "LIKE A ROCK", BUT THESE DAYS WITH ALL THESE COSTLY PROBLEMS, IT'S ONLY FITTING THAT THEY CHANGED IT TO "CHEVY RUNS DEEP" IN YOUR POCKETS....:-( MY LARGER CONCERN IS THAT WE ALREADY RAN OUT OF GAS ONCE WITH OUR TWO KIDS IN THE CAR ON THE TOLLWAY WITH 75MPH SPEED LIMIT. VERY DANGEROUS AND A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX! *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENSOR ISSUES. THE GAS GAUGE WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES WORKED BUT NOT ACCURATELY OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE SENSOR HAS STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND CONSTANTLY SHOWS AN EMPTY TANK. I GENERALLY BY GAS TWICE A WEEK TO LIMIT THE POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING OUT AND WAS ACTUALLY ON MY WAY TO THE GAS STATION WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY. TO ME THAT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AND THE MORE THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I SEE THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ONE THAT I WOULD FEEL THE NHTSA WOULD BE JUSTIFIED IN ISSUING A RECALL NOTICE FOR. THANKS. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DOESN'T REGISTER CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. STALLED IN TRAFFIC IN MIDDLE LANE OF 6 LANE HIGHWAY. CHEVROLET HAS ADMITTED PROBLEM WITH "SOME" VEHICLES. I FEEL THIS IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN HAS BEEN ADMITTED. CHEVROLET SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE AT NO COST TO CONSUMER. *TR

ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE NOTICE, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN FALLING TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING SOUNDING, EVEN WHEN I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK. THE LETTER ADVISES THAT GM WILL ONLY COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. OBVIOUSLY, THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW AND I SEE NO REASON WHY GM SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF THE REPAIR. ALSO, WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUXUATES YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE IT WILL SHOW YOU HAVE A FULL TANK IT MAY BE HALF OR EMPTY, IT MIGHT SHOW EMPTY AND WILL FLOAT ANY PART OF THE GAUGE QUARTER OR HALF FULL. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AT ONE TIME WE THOUGHT WE HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS AND RAN OUT OF GAS ON AN INTERSTATE FORTUNATELY WE PULLED OFF SIDE OF ROAD AND WALKED TO GET GAS WE WERE OUT OF GAS. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW YOU HAVE GAS IS TO KEEP A CHECK WITH ODOMETER READING. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN MILES LEFT WILL COINCIDE WITH THE LOW FULL LIGHT BUT YOU MAY HAVE GAS IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS NEVER CONSISTENT. I WILL STAY AT A CERTAIN READING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OR SO THEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY IT WILL GO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS ONLY 37,582 MILES OR SO.

2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS AND CONSTANTLY READS "EMPTY." THE TRAILBLAZER IS MY WIFE'S SOLE TRANSPORTATION AND PUTS RISK TO BOTH HER AND MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. IN THE INSTANCE THAT SHE RUNS OUT OF GAS DUE TO HER INABILITY TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS SHE HAS SHE IS AT RISK OF BEING STRANDED WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE 100 DEGREE TEXAS HEAT. ADDITIONALLY, THE RISK OF HER BEING STRANDED AWAY FROM HOME OR ON A HIGHWAY PUTS HER LIFE IN DANGER. THE FAILURE OF THE GAS GAUGE AND FUEL DETECTION UNIT OCCURRED IN JANUARY OF 2011 AND HAS NOT OPERATED PROPERLY SINCE. TO FIX THE PROBLEM WILL COST $700. THE FACT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES MAKES IT OBVIOUSLY APPARENT THAT THE FUEL DETECTION SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHEVY. IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF CHEVY TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE UNIT TO MAINTAIN CONSUMER LOYALTY TO THE CHEVY BRAND. OTHERWISE, I AM COMMITING TO NO LONGER PURCHASE CHEVY OR GM VEHICLES. *TT

WHEN THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 1/8TH OF A TANK LEFT THE GAUGE WILL READ ERRATICALLY, SOMETIMES SAYING 1/4 FULL OR EMPTY. ALSO, THIS FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HAS TRIGGERED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO REGISTER ON THE DASH, WHEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR TRIGGERING THE CODE AND NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK EMISSIONS. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP WITH GAS, THE FUEL LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING AND DINGING WITH THE GAUGE DROPPING TO THE EMPTY LEVEL. I CALLED A SERVICE CENTER IN VICTORIA TO INQUIRE AS TO WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE CENTER CALLED ME BACK TELLING ME MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE VISIT AND IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $140 JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. I THEN MADE SOME CALLS TO SEVERAL AUTO PARTS STORES TO INQUIRE THE SAME AND LOOKED UP ONLINE ANY RECALLS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DONE IN RE TO THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED ON MY OWN. THERE IS A SMELL OF GAS AT TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO FLUCTUATE FROM EMPTY TO FULL, ETC. I AM A HOME HEALTH NURSE AND AM ON THE ROAD CONSTANTLY. THE CAR IS ALSO USING MORE GAS THAN USUAL AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH I ACTUALLY HAVE IN THE TANK. THE SMELL OF GAS IS NAUSEATING AND CAUSES HEADACHES. THE IDEA OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A SECLUDED AREA IS FRIGHTENING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START AS FAR AS PARTS BECAUSE TECHNICIANS HAVE TOLD ME IT COULD BE MULTIPLE THINGS I FEEL LIKE GMS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. AFTER GOING ON LINE I NOTICED NUMEROUS CONSUMERS WITHTHE SAME COMPLAINTS AND NO RESOLUTION. THE ENGINE ALSO HAD BEEN ON. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION AND DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES THE FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, AND THE LOW LEVEL FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND REMAINS THIS WAY SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I START THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING IT WILL MOMENTARILY GIVE A FUEL INDICATION BUT I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS IS ACCURATE, THEN THE NEEDLE GOES DOWN TO EMPTY AND THE LOW LEVEL FUEL LIGHT COMES ON WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EVERYDAY I GET IN THE VEHICLE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN IT, I KEEP AN EYE ON HOW MANY MILES I DRIVE AS A BEST GUESS AS TO HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. IF I RUN OUT OF GAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN WASHINGTON DC THEN IT WILL CREATE TRAFFIC BACKUPS/HAZARDS. I HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN MY 96 SILVERADO, AND 2001 BLAZER, SO THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *TR

ON OCTOBER 15, 2010 THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ABRUPTLY WENT TO EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK FOR A 6 HOUR LONG TRIP.

THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 31,350 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. EVER SINCE THE REPAIR, THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT GIVING AN ACCURATE READING. I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE GAUGE COULD BE AS MUCH AS A 1/4 TANK DIFFERENT. FOR EXAMPLE, THE GAUGE WOULD READ 3/4 FULL WHEN I PARK AT MY OFFICE. WHEN I LEAVE FOR LUNCH THE GAUGE WILL DISPLAY 1/2 FULL. *TR

MY CAR QUIT READING OUT HOW MUCH FUEL I HAD. I HAD TO WRITE DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER THE MILES ON THE CAR WHEN I FILLED IT UP IN ORDER TO KEEP TRACK OF WHEN TO PUT GAS IN AGAIN. WITH MY HUSBAND BEING DISABLED THIS WAS NOT GOOD. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED CLOSED TO $100.00 JUST TO TELL WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE PROBLEM THEN IF IT WAS WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER $600.00 TO FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE REPAIR PLACE IT COST $0.00 TO TELL ME THE PROBLEM AND IT COST ME $418.80 TO FIX IT. THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT REGISTERING THE AMOUNT OF GAS I HAD. THEY HAD TO TAKE THE GAS TANK APART AND REPLACE THAT PLUS THE FUEL PUMP (AS NOW THESE 2 ITEMS ARE BUILT INTO 1). *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO MOVE SPORADICALLY. WHEN MY FUEL TANK WAS FULL IT WOULD REGISTER AS EMPTY OR IF I WAS LOW ON GAS IT WOULD REGISTER AS FULL, OR HALF A TANK. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. I HAD ONE INCIDENT, BECAUSE OF THE GAUGE WORKING INCORRECTLY IN WHICH I DID RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS FORCED TO EXIT. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO MAKE IT UP THE OFF RAMP SAFELY WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND IT WAS EARLY MORNING SO TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT ENOUGH TO ALLOW AND EASY EXIT. HOWEVER, I HAD TO CALL MY WIFE TO BRING ME GASOLINE TO REFUEL AND MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. I HAVE BEEN USING MY TRIP ODOMETER TO TRACK MY MILEAGE AND REFUEL ACCORDINGLY. I DID CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS ISSUE; THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL. THEY DID NOT INFORM ME ABOUT THIS SITE OR HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THAT WITH PARTS (FUEL SENSOR) AND LABOR IT WOULD BE A $400 REPAIR AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS COMMON. I HAD NO GUARANTEE THE NEW PART WOULD WORK ANY BETTER, AND AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, FOUND THAT THIS PART FAILS COMMONLY AFTER 50K MILES. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND $400 EVERY 50,000 MILES, FOR A PART THAT SHOULD LAST THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

DUE TO ITS INACCURATE READINGS, I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PUSH IT ONTO A SHOULDER PUTTING MYSELF IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS POSITION ALONG WITH MY WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO FIX. IN RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS PUTTING THEIR LIVES AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVES IN DANGER AS WELL. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE OR SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY IS KILLED. *TR

TWICE NOW THE VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE GAS GAUGE STILL SHOWS A QUARTER OF A TANK. THIS PAST WEEK WE STARTED TO NOTICE THE GAUGE READING HAS BEEN GOING UP AND DOWN IN 1/4 TANK INTERVALS AND WE AREN'T QUITE SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH OUR DEALER, BUT FELT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPORTED AS OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

THE GAGE FLUCTUATED BETWEEN FULL TO EMPTY FOR AWHILE, BUT NOW IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE TO USE MY TRIP ODOMETER SET TO 300 MILES TO ESTIMATE WHEN I HAVE TO FILL UP WITH GAS AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IF IT IS THE GAS GAUGE OR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS.

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. FILLING THE FUEL TANK TURNS THE LOW FUEL NOTIFICATION LIGHT AND CHIME OFF FOR ABOUT 50 MILES, THEN THE GAUGE GOES TO "E" AND THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME SOUNDS UNTIL THE TANK IS FILLED AGAIN AND THE PROCESS REPEATS ITSELF. I CURRENTLY USE MY TRIP ODOMETER TO MONITOR THE FUEL LEVEL BUT MY HUSBAND HAS FORGOTTEN TO RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER AND RAN OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS MALFUNCTION THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL IN THE MIDDLE OF A 60 MPH FREEWAY IS QUITE DANGEROUS AND MAYBE MORE SO THAN RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON A MOUNTAIN PASS, WHERE IT COULD BE MILES AND HOURS BEFORE HELP ARRIVES. CHEVROLET'S "WEAR & TEAR" EXCUSE IS NONSENSE FOR A POORLY MADE PART.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS READ BY A PORTION OF THE ACTUAL FUEL PUMP THAT IS INSIDE MY FUEL TANK. THAT COST ME MORE THAN $600 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET SINCE THEY HAD TO REMOVE MY FUEL TANK TO REPLACE IT. MY FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN WORKING FAIRLY NORMAL UP UNTIL YESTERDAY, ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 6:15AM MY VEHICLE STALLED IN THE DRIVING LANE OF A 2 LANE FRONTAGE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF GAS. THANKFULLY, THE ROAD WAS NOT EXTREMELY BUSY AT THAT TIME OF MORNING. HOWEVER, MY FUEL GAUGE STILL SHOWED THAT I HAD ALMOST 1/2 TANK, WHEN IN FACT MY CAR STALLED BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF GAS.

A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY USED SUV I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE JUMPING AROUND. SOMETIMES IT WOULD READ APPROPRIATE (GUESSING NOW) AND SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T MOVE OFF 'E'. THE GAUGE JUMPED AROUND FOR A COUPLE WEEKS THEN JUST QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO START KEEPING TRACK OF MY MILEAGE ON PAPER SO I COULD GUESSTIMATE WHEN TO PUT GAS IN. I GOT A QUOTE ON FIXING THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME BETWEEN $400-$800 TO FIX. I CALLED THE DEALER I BOUGHT SUV FROM AND ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME FLAT OUT 'NO'. THEY TOLD ME I COULD BRING IT IN AND HAVE IT FIXED AND PAY FOR IT BUT THEY WOULDN'T STAND BEHIND IT. I WAS ON MY OWN. SINCE I COULDN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED I HAD TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY FOR MONTHS, ALWAYS WRITING DOWN MILEAGE AND GAS FILL-UPS. I FINALLY HAD THIS REPAIRED ON 1/11/11 - IT COST ME $379.83 TO GET IT FIXED. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD'VE BEEN RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS PLACES ABOUT THE '07 TRAILBLAZERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, ALONG WITH CONFIRMATION FROM THE GARAGE THAT "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE '07 TRAILBLAZER".

THE GAS GAUGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND BACK AT LEAST 10 TIMES A DAY, THEY SAY AT THE SERVICE DEPT IT'S THE FUEL SENDING SWITCH. SERVICE STABILITRAC WARNING COMES ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. I THINK ALL WARNINGS (LIGHTS AND THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN) HAVE COME ON AT LEAST ONE TIME, SOME WE HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND LOOK UP WHAT THE LIGHT WAS IN THE BOOK. NOW THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS SOMETHING WRONG, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND THE KEY IS REMOVED. THEN THE CAR WON'T START UNLESS YOU WORK THE KEY AND THE SWITCH. TODAY IT STARTED AND THEN QUIT WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE KEY AND IT GOES TO THE RUN POSITION. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY ON, THERE IS WEIRD NOISE LIKE ELECTRICAL SHORT OR SOMETHING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,453. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.

2007 TRAILBLAZER GAS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO FACT VEHICLE COULD FAIL ON ROAD IN FREEZING CONDITIONS. LIVES COULD BE IN DANGER FOR FAULTY READING OR FOR ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER SENSOR WORKING. APPARENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH EVEN 2005-2006 MODELS. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS FOR SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC!!!!!! *TR

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE, GAS GAUGE RISES TO ACTUAL GAS LEVEL. AFTER 3-4 MINUTES OF DRIVING, GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY, AND REMAINS UNTIL TRUCK IS RESTARTED. SOMETIMES THE GAUGE WILL RISE TO ONE-HALF TANK, AND STAY AS WELL. ON ONE OCCASION, I WAS STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON AND MY WIFE. THE GAUGE WAS STUCK A HALF TANK, BUT I WAS ACTUALLY OUT OF GAS. 4 HOURS LATER I WAS BACK HOME. ON SOME LEVEL I THINK THAT CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FUEL-SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE TANK, AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE BETWEEN $600-$900 TO REPLACE. RIDICULOUS!!! I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ISSUES TO THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF MY TRAIL BLAZER. IT IS TIME FOR GM TO ALLOW THESE TO BE REPLACED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS MAY NOT QUALIFY AS A SAFETY RECALL, BUT SURELY A DEFECT THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS!!! *TR

Mileage: 51,500

AT APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES MY FUEL GAUGE BROKE. IT FIRST BEGAN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT LESS THAN 1/2 TANK I COULD SEE THE NEEDLE DROP TO E IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. NOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE TANK IS FULL OR HALF EMPTY IT ALWAYS REGISTERS ON E. THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BEEP AND NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON! I CANNOT BELIEVE GM WILL NOT RECALL THE TRAILBLAZER DUE TO THIS ISSUE, THE DEALER SURE DON'T DISCLOSE THIS FAULTY PROBLEM WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO SALE YOU THE VEHICLE!!! *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE GAS METER IN THE BLAZER SAYS IT EMPTY WHEN I JUST FILL IT. NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE LIGHT BEEPS AND STAYS ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS TROUBLE WITH MY BLAZER. I CANT BELIEVE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE SENSOR IN THE GAS TAKE. I CONTACTED MY DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THAT IT NOT COVERED IN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I BOUGHT FOR THE VEHICLE. IT COST OVER $1,000 TO FIX IT. I FEEL THAT IF I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I SEE THERE IS ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS CONCERN ABOUT THERE VEHICLE. I DON'T FEEL NOW MY VEHICLE IS SAFE AND IT ONLY HAS 30, 000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I WAS AT SAMS CLUB FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WHEN THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAS GAUGE THEREAFTER BEGAN FLUCTUATING AND CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME. MOST OF THE TIME IT STARTS OUT SHOWING AN INCONSISTENT READING THEN GOES TO EMPTY. FUEL DESCENDING UNIT GONE BAD. AN INQUIRY ON THE INTERNET REVEALS A LARGE QUANTITY OF TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE ALSO VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAD 49,000 MILES AND SOME CHANGE WITH THIS FIRST OCCURRED. CAN YOU IMAGINE RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A RURAL AREA WITH OR WITHOUT KIDS WITH NO HELP IN SITE, OR EVEN WORSE IN A URBAN HIGH CRIME AREA PASSING THROUGH. GM HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM DESPITE THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM. I FOUND THE AVERAGE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS REPAIR IS RATHER COSTLY REQUIRING THE GAS TANK TO BE REMOVED. AT THIS POINT I AM TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH MY MILEAGE, FORTUNATELY FOR ME I DID NOT RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. *TR

GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTION. *TR

2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS SENSOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED. FOUND OUT THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY! I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART AND IT SHOULD BE REPLACED OR COVERED BY MY WARRANTY! *TR

Mileage: 73,000

THE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON-LINE ABOUT THE FUEL GAUGE NOT OPERATING ACCURATELY AND THE NEED FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDING TO BE REPLACED ON SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT ARE RELATIVELY NEW. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE NUISANCE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES IN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART IN ANY CAR. I NOW HAVE A 2007 TRAILBLAZER AND HAD TO SPEND ALMOST $600 ON THIS PART. I AM CURIOUS WHY THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS? *TR

GAS GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK - DID NOT GIVE ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN VEHICLE EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. GAS LIGHT WAS ON AND WOULD DING AS IF EMPTY. TOOK CAR INTO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP & IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. GAS TANK HAD TO BE "PULLED" AND SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. WOULD HAVE COST ME $800, BUT LUCKILY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH A 2007 TRAILBLAZER - IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND BABY IT LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW. NOW EVERYTHING IS BREAKING. FIRST IT WAS THE RACKING PINION STEERING. SOME HOW THE SEAL BUSTED. SECOND, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO REGISTER EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL AND JOINT BALL WENT BAD MAKING SOME VIBRATION AND SQUEALING SOUND. I GOT THE FUEL GAUGE FIXED AND JOINT BALL, NOW THE STRUTS THAT LIFT REAR WINDOW DOESN'T WORK. I WAS SO EAGER TO GET THIS TRAILBLAZER BUT IT IS COSTING ME MORE MONEY THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE QUICKLY DROPS TO EMPTY AFTER LESS THAN 1/4 OF THE FUEL HAS BEEN USED. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE FUEL SENDER UNIT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING $575.00. WITH ONLY 43K MILES ON THE CAR, IT SEEMS A LITTLE PREMATURE FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS AND THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY 0 ULTIMATELY STAYING ON EMPTY... THIS I FOUND IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS AND HAS BEEN FOR AWHILE - MANY BUSINESS ASSOCIATES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT YEARS OF TRAILBLAZER...

FILLED MY TANK AND DROVE AWAY THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING LATER THAT DAY MY FUEL GAUGE STARTED GOING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT WENT TO EMPTY THE LOW GAS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STAYED THAT WAY FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RETURNING TO FULL. THIS ONLY HAPPENED 1X SO FAR RECENTLY. I'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH ALL THE GAUGES GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. SPEEDOMETER/FUEL/ ELECTRICAL/TACH ETC. HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART TO RESET THESE FUNCTIONS IN THE PAST. 2-3X AN HAD ONSTAR RUN DIAGNOSTICS. THE ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL HAS ALSO BEEN COMING ON/OFF INTERMITTENTLY QUITE FREQUENTLY AT STARTUP AND AT OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I'VE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON CHAT BOARDS BUT FEW HAVE TAKE THE STEPS TO DOCUMENT THEM BEYOND THE POSTINGS. THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB. THANK YOU *TR

TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE WARRANTY WAS UP AT 36,000 MILES AND IT WOULD COST 800.00 DOLLARS. IF IT IS COMMON IT IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

NOW TODAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE RESULT IS THAT I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT AND UNLESS I KEEP FILLING IT UP EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS I RISK RUNNING OUT OF GAS.

I HAVE ONLY OWNED MY "07" TRAILBLAZER FOR ONE YEAR. PURCHASED IT FROM A DEALER IN AUGUSTA MAINE. TWO THINGS ARE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE ALREADY AND ONE OF WHICH SEVERAL HAVE COMPLAINED ON YOUR SITE ABOUT. THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOW DROPPING EVEN WHEN FULL, NOT ALLOWING ME TO KNOW WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH GAS OR POSSIBLY SOMEONE HAS TAPPED INTO MY TANK OVERNIGHT AND HELPED THEMSELVES & THE SECOND IS MY PASSENGER SIDE TIRES ARE WEARING QUITE RAPIDLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO BE LOOKED AT AND DISCOVERED MY BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED! I WAS QUITE SHOCKED AS AGAIN, I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 1 YEAR. I AM IN HOPES THAT WHAT IS WRITTEN HERE IS ENOUGH TO DRIVE CHEVY TO A RECALL. I FOUND THIS SITE THROUGH MY INSR. COMPANY AND WILL ALERT MANY TO CHECK IT BEFORE PURCHASING WHAT THEY THINK MAY BE A GREAT VEHICLE. IF I HAD KNOWN, I WOULD HAVE DONE SO MYSELF. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTS TO DROP RAPIDLY AFTER DRIVING 100 MILES AFTER A FILL UP THEN THE LOW LEVEL INDICATOR TURNS ON. IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART, THE TANK WILL GO BACK UP TO HALF FULL AND THEN DROP BACK DOWN TO THE LOW LEVEL INDICATOR AFTER 5-10 MINUTES. WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK IT ONLY ALLOWS ME TO PUT IN NO MORE THAN 13 GALLONS. GAUGE IS OBVIOUSLY BROKEN. MY COMPANY HAS A FLEET OF 20 TRAILBLAZERS AND I AM THE 8TH PERSON TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHICH I JUST PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008. FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HERE, I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAGE FLUCTUATING ON ME. I JUST PUT A FULL TANK IN 2 DAYS AGO AND IT IS STILL READING PAST FULL. ON OCCASION IT WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EMPTY, AND THEN BACK UP TO FULL AND THEN BACK DOWN AGAIN. THIS IS ALL WHEN EITHER RUNNING OR DRIVING WHEN THIS ALL HAPPENS. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING TO ME, CONSIDERING THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE RIGHT NOW. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY POPULAR IN THE 05-06, BUT NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS IN MY 07 AND I HAVE 47,000 MILES ON MINE. I THINK CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THIS. IT'S RIDICULOUS! *TR

2007 TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM. CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSORS, FUEL FROM ANY VENDOR CAUSES THE FUEL SENSOR TO GUM UP WITH SULFUR AND OTHER CHEMICALS MAKING IT STICK AND READ EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. IT ALSO SENDS A CODE TO THE MONITORING SYSTEM (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT). THIS LIGHT WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PASS INSPECTION AT ANY TIME. CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE 35 DOLLAR BOTTLE OF CLEANING FLUID THAT WAS ONLY CARRIED BY THE CHEVY ITSELF, THEIR RESPONSE STATES THAT THIS SHOULD CURE THE PROBLEM. UNDERSTANDING SHOULD CURE THE PROBLEM TELL ME (A MECHANIC) THAT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

MY 2007 NEW TRAILBLAZER STARTED ON FIRE WHILE IT WAS OFF AND PARKED FOR OVER 12 HOURS IN MAY OF 2008. AFTER 2 AND 1/2 MONTHS OF NOT HAVING MY TRUCK IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. GM ADMITTED IT WAS A FAULT OF THEIRS SEEING AS MY TRUCK WAS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD AND PURCHASED NEW. EVER SINCE THE CAR WAS RETURNED BACK TO ME THE INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF AND TODAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND A FIRE COULD HAVE STARTED AGAIN HAD I NOT BROUGHT THIS IN SOONER. SO FOR THE 2ND TIME I AM RISKING MY LIFE EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK! *TR
