FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SS GAS GAUGE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND WILL TRIGGER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND OFF ON ANY GIVEN DAY. VEHICLE GIVES LOW GAS INDICATION EVEN AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM OR SEARCH AUTO FORUMS, IT APPEARS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE, 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES. VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS BECAUSE OF INACCURATE ERRATIC READINGS BEING SENT TO GAS GAUGE. THIS HOUSEHOLD HAS TWO DRIVERS AND THE PROBLEM IS MANIFESTED WHEN THE SECONDARY DRIVER RUNS OUT OF FUEL IN TRAFFIC CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR BOTH AN ACCIDENT OR MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM. INFORMATION ON THE WEB SUGGESTS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR GM, BUT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. THE EXPENSE TO REPAIR IS VERY HIGH. *TR

GAS GAUGE READING NOT CORRECT. IT WILL READ THE CORRECT LEVEL THEN DROP TO EMPTY. GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME IT IS A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE NUMEROUS CHEVY'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE A PERSON COULD RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION OR WHEN TURNING ON A ROAD OR MERGING WITH TRAFFIC. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING A ROAD TRIP FROM TEXAS TO FLORIDA THE FUEL GAUGE IN THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DROPPED TO EMPTY. IN ADDITION THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK DUE TO THE GAUGE AS READING EMPTY. THE FUEL GAUGE / FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS DEFECTIVE. THE GAUGE DOES NOT REPORT THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK AND CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL. THIS COULD LEAD TO THE VEHICLE STALLING IN LOCATIONS SUCH AS HIGHWAYS THAT PUT THE OCCUPANTS IN DANGER. CHEVY INFORMS THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WILL NEED REPLACED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS QUOTED BETWEEN $800 AND $1000. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DESERVES ACTION BY THE MANUFACTURE TO HAVE THE ISSUE CORRECTED. *TR

2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 64,000 MILES. FUEL GAUGE WILL MOVE AROUND NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IN IT. COULD HAVE A FULL TANK & ONE MINUTE IT WILL READ FULL, NEXT MINUTE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS COMING ON. 3 TIMES NOW, MY TRAILBLAZER SHUT OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD, WHICH MEANS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. IT THINKS IT'S OUT OF FUEL, WHEN THERE IS FUEL IN IT. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES ALONG SIDE THE ROAD, I START IT UP & I'M GOOD TO GO. I HAVE TO KEEP IT FILLED ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE THE GAUGE WILL NOT READ CORRECTLY. SOMETIME SITTING AT IDLE I'VE WATCHED IT GO TO EMPTY & BACK UP WHILE I'M JUST SITTING THERE. *TR
