FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS TRAVELING ON FOUR-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY WHICH IS ONE OF THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES FOR OUR CITY WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE GAS GAUGE READ ABOVE EMPTY, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS. TRAFFIC WAS FAIRLY HEAVY AT THE TIME AND HAD I NOT BEEN TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO READILY REACH THE EMERGENCY LANE THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF COULD HAVE BEEN IN JEOPARDY,

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE FIRST STARTED BY READING THE WRONG AMOUNT OF FUEL, THEN ONLY AFTER RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WOULD IT READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE ABOUT 15 DAYS AFTER INITIAL ISSUE IT STARTED TO SHOW ONLY THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL WHEN IT WAS STARTED UP THEN IT WOULD GO TO EMPTY, EVEN IF THE TANK WAS FILLED UP. NOW IT CURRENTLY DOES NOT MOVE AND THE "LOW FUEL LEVEL" SHOWS UP EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH ON THIS I REALIZED THERE WERE OTHER PEOPEL WHO WERE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND FLUCTUATES BETWEEN BEING EMPTY OR BEING FULL. MUST USE TRIP ODOMETER TO MONITOR MILES IN ORDER NOT TO RUN OUT OF GAS. ORIGINALLY WHEN PROBLEM STARTED, FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING UP TANK AND THEN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MILES OF DRIVING GAUGE WOULD READ AS BEING FULL. NOW GAUGE JUST CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY OR FULL.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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 DEALER I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM WOULDN'T RETURN MY PHONE CALLS OR INQUIRIES ABOUT HOW TO REPORT THE PROBLEM OR ANYTHING, THEY JUST SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS AND DIDN'T CARE AND I HAD ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS...

THE FUEL GAUGE READS WRONG. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE THE GAUGE READS HAVING MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THAN IT DOES. SOMETIMES THE GAUGE WILL READ FULL THEN GO TO EMPTY AND BACK AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MILES OF DRIVING. I'M AFRAID TO GO ON ANY LONG TRIPS BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN AN INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AND AVOID A COLLISION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH ABOUT 87000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN SHOWING EMPTY UPON STARTING WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT BEING ON. AS YOU DRIVE SOMETIMES THE GAUGE WILL SHOW THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK AND SOMETIMES IT VARIES AND IS ALL OVER THE PLACE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE LEFT. I AM MAKING IT A HABIT TO MONITOR MY MILES SO AS TO NOT RUN OUT OF FUEL. NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, IT IS JUST A NUISANCE AT THIS TIME. I HAVEN'T HAD IT REPAIRED AS IT INVOLVES REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $800. THIS IS JUST AN FYI TYPE THING TO SHOW YOU THAT MANY OF THESE TYPE VEHICLES HAVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY 2006 BRAND NEW CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ODOMETER COMPLETELY FAILED IN 2009. I DID NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL MY BROTHER, AND SISTER BOTH COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR NEW VEHICLES WHAT MAKES IT SO BAD IS THAT THE GAUGE IS IN THE TANK, AND THE COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS $700. WHEN I SAW THAT AN INVESTIGATION WAS ONGOING, I WANTED TO LOG MY COMPLAINT. THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE. *TR

STARTED NOTICING THAT WHEN I WOULD FILL UP, IT WOULD SHOW THAT I WAS EMPTY. THEN AFTER PUTTING ABOUT 40 MILES ON THE TANK OF FUEL IT WOULD START SHOWING CORRECTLY. I DEALT WITH THIS FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEN IT SHOWED THAT I HAD A 1/4 TANK OF FUEL BUT I ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. AFTER THAT I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS $300 TO REPAIR. *TR

I DRIVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY VEHICLE WITHOUT USING MY MILEAGE INDICATOR. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT I PAID LOTS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS SUV AND CAN'T USE MY FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE NOT CORRECTED THIS FAILURE BECAUSE OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IT WOULD TAKE TO FIX IT. *TR
