FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AS WITH MANY OTHER POSTERS AND COMPLAINANTS, I TOO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. IT WILL SHOW LOW FUEL EVEN AFTER FILLING UP AS WELL AS WAIVER FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. THIS NEARLY BECAME A PROBLEM AS MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON A LONG STRETCH OF HIGHWAY IN WHICH NO GAS STATION WAS A ROUND FOR 100 MILES. THANKFULLY THE GAUGE WAS WRONG IN TELLING US IT WAS LOW AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD DUE TO THE TIME OF NIGHT WHEN WE WERE DRIVING. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM YET. FOR NOW I AM JUDGING MY GAS LEVEL BASED ON THE ODOMETER READING AND ESTIMATED GAS MILEAGE. PROBLEM BEGAN TO OCCUR AROUND 43,000 AND IS NOW AT 48,000 MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK THE FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND STAYS THERE, AND SOMETIMES GOES ERRATIC UP AND DOWN SO YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. I AM VERY AFRAID THAT BY NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK, IT MAY LEAD TO OVER FILLING AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD AT THE PUMP BY SPEWING GAS ALL OVER TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A PASSING LANE OF A HIGHWAY POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE IN MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER, TO INJURY OR DEATH TO ANYONE IN THEIR CAR THAT MAY HIT ME OR RUN INTO SOMEONE ELSE TO AVOID ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I SEE OCCURS TO MANY, MANY OTHERS WITH MY 2006 GM TRAILBLAZER SIMILAR MODELS OF DIFFERENT YEARS!! AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO A MECHANIC ON THIS ISSUE, BUT SEEING ON BLOGS IT APPEARS TO BE THE SENSING UNIT AND FUEL PUMP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AROUND SIX MONTHS AGO AND NOW THE OIL LEVEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE FUEL GAUGE GOES OUT. THIS IS ABSURD THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED SINCE THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR
