FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL GAUGE OR FUEL PUMP. JUNE 15-24 2009 I WAS PUTTING GAS INTO MY VEHICLE EVERY DAY BECAUSE IT WAS READING THAT MY TANK WAS EMPTY. ON JUNE 24, I COMPLETELY FILLED UP MY TANK AND THE LIGHT REMAINED ON AS IF MY TANK WAS EMPTY. THE LIGHT REMAINED ON UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE GAUGE MOVED UP SHOWING THAT I ONLY HAD A 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. MY GAUGE IS GIVING ME A FALSE READING OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK AND I NOW HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE MILES PER TRIP TO MAKE SURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY AND IS ON EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL OF GASOLINE. THE GAUGE IS NOT WORKING NOW AT ALL AND USE TRIPOMETER TO MONITOR MILEAGE. WHY, BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $900 TO REPAIR AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES YOUR OFFICE NEED TO RECEIVE BEFORE A RECALL IS DONE BY THE MANUFACTURER? THIS IS DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE AND THERE IS NO REASON A CAR WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER HAS 50,000 MILES THE GAS GAUGE STARTED GOING FROM EMPTY TO FULL WHILE IN TRANSIT AND NOW IT JUST STAYS ON E ALL THE TIME NOW. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MOST 06 TRAILBLAZERS AND IT BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR IN THE CHEVY'S. IT COST ALMOST 800.00 AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED SO I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP METER TO KEEP TRACK OF MY GAS THROUGH MILEAGE. THIS ALL STARTED WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 32,000 MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WAS DRIVING CAR WITH QUARTER TANK OF GAS AND SUDDENLY FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY. FILLED TANK WITH GAS AND GAUGE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN LEVELS THEN BEGAN TO READ CORRECTLY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. AT A QUARTER TANK IT DROPPED TO EMPTY AGAIN. FILLED WITH GAS AND IS NOW FLUCTUATING AGAIN. THIS COULD BE A REAL HAZARD IF I RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND PAY A DEDUCTIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
