FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE GAS GAUGE INDICATOR BEEPED INDICATING THAT I WAS LOW ON FUEL. I WAS NOT SURE WHEN I FILLED UP LAST SO I STOPPED AND FILLED UP WITH GAS. AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE GAS GAUGE STILL READ EMPTY. TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS I HAD TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DASH (SPEEDOMETER, ETC), SO WITH THIS BEING THE CASE, I DETERMINED THAT THE GAS SENDING UNIT WAS FAULTY OR BROKEN. FROM WHAT I READ, THE COST TO FIX THIS VARIES FROM $650 TO $850. I'VE PUT OFF THIS REPAIR SINCE I FIND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE HEARD NEWS REPORTS ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR THIS. BASICALLY NOW, THE GAUGE IS NEVER CORRECT AND FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY & 1/4 OF A TANK. IT WILL DROP OR RISE MULTIPLE TIMES IN A 20 MILE TRIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT I JUST FOUND OUT NEEDS A BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR REPLACED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY VEHICLE. THE WIRES WERE MELTED BY THE CONNECTION WHICH COULD EASILY SPARK A FIRE. WITH THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS A FIRE INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DISASTROUS. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU, *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN VERY INACCURATE. GAUGE WILL READ FULL AFTER FILL UP FOR APPROX. 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING, AFTER THAT IT WILL READ EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON. FOR MY SAFETY I AM FILLING UP EVERY FEW DAYS BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THERE. I HAVE BEEN USING MY TRIP ODOMETER TO USE A SOME BASE LINE. MY FEAR IS I WILL BE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND IT WILL RUN OUT OF GAS. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
