FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK WHILE IT STILL HAD 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. ONCE I STARTED THE ENGINE THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO E WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON WHILE SITTING AT THE GAS STATION. THE GAUGE THEN PINGED FROM FULL TO EMPTY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS THEN SETTLING AT FULL WHEN I WENT UP A STEEP BRIDGE. SINCE THEN THE FUEL GAUGE HAS CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO NOT KNOWING THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED AS I CAN SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE US HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND FIX THE ISSUE. MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO THE YEARS AS WELL AS THE MILEAGE OF JUST 65,000 MILES. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FROM A GENERAL MOTORS DEALER IN 2009. SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE OUR GAS GAUGE STARTED BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH FROM FULL TO EMPTY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR CENTER AFTER A FEW WORDS CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH THE SERVICE MANAGER SAYS "OH THAT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND WE CAN REPAIR IT FOR ABOUT $700 OR SOMETIMES IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN. I ASKED WHY IT WAS NOT RECALLED IF IT'S SO COMMON AND HE REPLIED "IT'S NOT UP TO US". I WAS SO IRRITATED THAT I NEVER TRIED AGAIN. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER IT STARTED WORKING FINE, IN FACT I MADE A 3600 MILE JOURNEY WITH NO PROBLEM. TONIGHT I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE GAUGE WENT FROM 3/4 TANK TO ZERO AND MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ASIDE FROM ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND I WERE ALMOST RAN OVER TRYING TO PUSH OUR VEHICLE OUT OF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED ANY PARTS BECAUSE I AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD AUTOMOTIVE ATTORNEY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN SEPTEMBER 2003. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER ERROR AND RESET THE COMPUTER. APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DEALER SAID EACH TIME IT WAS EVAPORATION CAUSED BY NOT TIGHTENING GAS CAP APPROPRIATELY. DEALERSHIP CHANGED OWNERS AND NEW DEALER RESET THE COMPUTER ONCE (SAYING GAS CAP NOT TIGHTENED APPROPRIATELY), THE SECOND TIME FOUND A HOLE IN HOSE THAT COMES OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND REPAIRED IT. UPON THE THIRD TIME WITH NEW DEALER OCCURRING 12/01/2010, WE ARE TOLD THERE IS A CRACK IN THE NIPPLE OF THE GAS TANK AND WANT TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. I FEEL RECOURSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS DUE SINCE OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM EXISTED UPON PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DUE TO LEAK IN EVAC SYSTEM ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTIC TEST. SMOKE TEST SHOWED LEAK TO BE AT WELD WHERE FILL SPOUT TUBE IS ATTACHED TO FUEL TANK. GASOLINE FUMES WERE PRESENT WERE PRESENT FROM THE VEHICLE. WAS INFONMED THAT TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALA COST OF $1200.00. DID SOME INTEMET RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT GM HAD A TSB ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN #05012), BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2002 EXT MODELS. SINCE THIS IS, IN REALITY, A FIRE SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL GM SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF AGE OR MILAGE. UPDATED 01/20/11 *BF

FAILURE OF ACCURATE GAS GAUGE READING ON 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS. HAVE READ ABOUT HUNDREDS , IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM . GM SAYS IT IS THE FUEL SENDING SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS . THE DANGER IT MAY BE POSING IS , NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN TANK AND A POSSIBILITY OF LOSING ENGINE POWER AND CAUSING A HORRIFIC AUTO ACCIDENT. TODAY , 11/29/2010, I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE RUNNING LOW ON FUEL CAME ON. IT HASN'T GONE OFF EITHER. BUT THE TANK WAS FULL , I JUST FILLED IT . PLEASE LOOK INTO THE MATTER.... *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS 4.2 I6-SES LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THE SCANNER READ CODE P0455. HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE FOUND A CRACK ON THE GAS TANK AT THE NECK WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE FILLER NECK.THIS REPAIR RUNS INTO THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED PAYING OFF THE CAR YET. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND QUITE A FEW TRAILBLAZER OWNERSWITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE AN 05 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 4.2L WITH 90000 MILES AND LAST MARCH THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING BUT NOT BEFORE WE RAN OUT OF FUEL 2 TIMES NOT KNOWING THAT THE GAUGE WAS GIVING A FALSE READING.THE OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE ON A BUSY STREET. VERY SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE THREE INNOCENT LITTLE GIRLS UNDER THE AGE OF 3 THAT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. FROM DOING MY RESEARCH I SEE THIS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A DANGEROUS ONE AT THAT BECAUSE WHEN THE TRUCK STOPS RUNNING YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKING. *TR
