2005 TRAILBLAZER, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, GAS GAUGE QUITS WORKING, APPARENTLY A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, NO WARNINGS, JUST RUNS OUT OF GAS. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. HAVE TO ALWAYS FILL UP TANK AND USE THE TRIP MILEAGE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF GAS, VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

THE GAS TANK REGISTERS EMPTY EVEN WHEN FULL.

HAD BEEN DOING IT FOR A FEW WEEKS OFF/ON, NOW CONSTANT. GAUGE CONSTANTLY READING EMPTY, RARELY MOVING AT ALL. GAS LIGHT STAYS ON. NOW SEEMS TO BE CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. CAR IS SUDDENLY MOVING SLOW WHEN ACCELERATING INITIALLY. *TR

THREE WEEKS AGO, AFTER OUR 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT WAS FILLED UP, THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THEN WENT BACK AND FORTH BEFORE FINALLY GOING TOWARDS FULL. HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT SURE IF IT IS ACCURATE AT ANY POINT. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK UP IN THE TRUCK. WE HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED, BUT AN ESTIMATED COST HAS BEEN $800 TO FIX THE SENDING UNIT AND DROP THE TANK TO FIX. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL GAUGE BEGAN NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AROUND APRIL 15, 2011. THE GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY REGISTERING EMPTY AFTER A FILL UP AND THEN REGISTERS A HALF A TANK AND THEN BACK TO EMPTY. I HAVE HAD TO REVERT TO SETTING MY TRIP ODOMETER AND WHEN I GET CLOSE TO 300 MILES I FILL UP. I HAVE CHECK WITH MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A FIX....A NEW FUEL SENSOR AND FUEL PUMP. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE USED TO JUMP ALL OVER AND NOW JUST READ EMPTY. IT IS TRIGGERING THE GAS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD PREGNANT ON A HWY BRIDGE WHERE MY SONS GRANDMOTHER HAD TO PUSH THE CAR WHILE A POLICE OFFICER FOLLOWED TO WARN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WAS A SCARY ORDEAL AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS FAILING IN A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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.
