FAULTY FUEL LEVEL READINGS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING INACCURATELY AND HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN HEAD-ON COLLISION. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SHOWED OVER HALF FULL WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE CHANGING LANES ON I-5. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION WITH NO POWER STEERING AND LIMITED POWER BRAKES IT WAS VERY INTERESTING GETTING THE RIG OVER TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY ON THE SHOULDER (AND I QUIT SHAKING) I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, BELIEVING THERE WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED AND MENTIONED THAT HE HAS SEEN OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE 2005 TRAILBLAZERS FUEL GAUGE WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE FUEL WHILE IN FACT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. I OUR CASE WE ADDED FIVE GALLONS OF FUEL AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AND I WAS SAFELY ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. THE GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING IN LATE-2010 AND NOW REMAINS ON 'E' MOST OF THE TIME, REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. ALTHOUGH INFREQUENT, THE NEEDLE HAS AT TIMES BEGAN TO JUMP FROM 'E' TO IN BETWEEN A 1/4-1/2 TANK. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS FAILURE ARE THAT I HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR MY MILEAGE AT ALL TIMES, RESET THE MILEAGE EACH TIME I REFILL MY GAS TANK, AND NOTIFY ANY PERSONS OTHER THAN MYSELF THAT DRIVE MY VEHICLE THAT THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS THE PART IS QUITE EXPENSIVE, I DO NOT FEEL A GAS GAUGE SHOULD BREAK SO EASILY ON A 2005 VEHICLE, AND I AM HOPING THE VEHICLE WILL EVENTUALLY BE RECALLED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AS I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING A CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER (82,000 MILES). I HAVE HAD SENSORS REPLACED, MY HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY "FLICKER" TO DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BRAKE LIGHTS AND FRONT TURNING SIGNALS ALL GOING OUT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AND REPLACING THE BULBS AND/OR FUSES DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM, NOW I HAVE TWO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS ON. DEALER SAYS IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE OVER 20 MPH, IT HAS NO POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THE COMPUTER FAILURE. MY TRAILBLAZER WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE, THAN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT, FRONT SIGNALS WENT OUT, SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, ALL WITHIN AN HOUR. THE ONE MODULE THAT IS BEING REPLACED IS 650.00 WITH A DIAGNOSIS FEE OF 200.00 TO CHECK THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OF THE TRANSMISSION AS 7 DIFFERENT CODES CAME UP ON THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL. SO THE REPAIR FEE IS GOING TO BE A FORTUNE. I FIND IT ODD THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME KIND OF ISSUES AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!! *TR

GAS GAUGE -2005 CHEVY SUV TRAILBLAZER FILL UP WITH GAS THE HAND GOES WAY PAST FULL THEN SHOW I HAVE 3/4 TANK THEN PUT GAS IN TAKES 12 GAL. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES WILDLY. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MONITOR THE TANK BY TRACKING MILEAGE. MY WIFE USED THE CAR AND INADVERTENTLY SUBTRACTED THE MILES INCORRECTLY AND RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE FAST LANE OF THE 405 FREEWAY !! A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. NO ONE WAS HURT, JUST A LOT OF STRESS AND A RESCUE MISSION. THE GAUGE NOW STAYS ON, OR JUST ABOVE EMPTY. CHEVY DEALER WANTS 800.00 FOR REPAIR AND SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. MY ON-LINE RESEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF THIS CAR HAVE THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOM. MOST DEFINITELY THEIR PROBLEM !! IN ADDITION, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. I WAS PULLED OVER ON THE I 15 FOR DOING 88 WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER READ 70. (I'M 58 AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TICKET) ON PULLING OVER THE SPEEDOMETER CAME TO REST AT 25 MPH. THE OFFICER UNDERSTOOD AND LET ME GO WITH A WARNING TO GET IT FIXED. MY PROBLEM....I NEED CHEVY TO FIX IT !! *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE SHOW A EMPTY WITH FULL TANK OF GAS AND SOMETIMES IT SHOWS 1/4 TANK WHEN TANK IS FULL. *TR

I INSTALLED MY DAUGHTER'S SUNSHINE KID'S RADIAN (SKR) REAR FACING IN MY '05 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OUTBOARD BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT ABOUT 2/3 WEEKS AGO. TODAY WHEN I WAS GOING TO PUT MY DAUGHTER IN HER SEAT I NOTICED THAT THE LATCH STRAP WAS HANGING SO LOOSE THAT I COULD FIT MY FIST IN THERE. WHEN HER SEAT WAS INSTALLED IT WAS SO TIGHT IT DIDN'T MOVE. MODEL # US19500 MANUFACTURE DATE 09/10 (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2005, MAKE=CHEVY, MODEL=TRAILBLAZER). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING AN ERRONEOUS READING. HE STATED THAT HE HAD TO REFUEL EVERY TWO HUNDRED MILES AND THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW AN EMPTY READING DESPITE THE FUEL TANK BEING FULL TO CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

YES MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT TELL ME THE CORRECT FUEL AMOUNT IN THE FUEL TANK ,WHEN I FILL MY TANK UP WITH GAS. THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND WHEN DRIVING IT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL ITS JUST A INCONVENIENCE NOT KNOWING IF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN OUT OF GAS OR NOT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS SEEMS LIKE A ONGOING PROBLEM ALSO ILL BE DRIVING AND THE HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST START FLICKERING ON AND OFF PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE GM FIX THIS PROBLEM THANK YOU . *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK, EVEN WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK THE GAUGE SHOWS ALMOST EMPTY. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER RUNNING OUT OF GAS. OUR TRAILBLAZER HAS RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE AND THE FUEL GAUGE IS IN-OP. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THE MILEAGE METER SET AND MAKE FILL UPS WHEN I HAVE 300 MILES. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE FAILED AND CAUSED AN INACCURACY IN THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN MY VEHICLE. IT NOW REMAINS WITH THE LIGHT ON AND AT EMPTY. I HAVE BEEN CLEARING THE MILES AT EACH FILL UP TO MONITOR APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES PER TANK. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DUE TO THE NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD!

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED 1 1/2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF FAULTY INSTRUMENT AND SPEEDOMETER READINGS. JANUARY OF 2011 GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTIONING READS EMPTY WHEN TANK HAS BEEN FILLED, AND CONTINUES TO MISREAD LEVELS AT ALL TIMES. *TR

THE GAS/FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. IT SHOW VERY LITTLE GAS ( AND MILEAGE AVAILABLE) WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. OR IT SHOW NO GAS AT ALL - AND THE "LOW FUEL " LIGHT COMES ON EVEN IF THE TANK WAS JUST FILLED UP. *TR

GAS GAUGE IN 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, INACCURATE READINGS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A TECHNICIAN STATED THE FUEL ASSEMBLY INSIDE THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP10001(FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP). THE CONTACT STATED THE SPEEDOMETER ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING AFTER THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REPAIRED. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER READS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME AND AT OTHER TIMES WHEN IT DOES REGISTER FUEL IT CAN'T BE TRUSTED. THE CLUSTER ON THIS VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STICK AND COULD NOT TELL HOW FAST THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER $600. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. THE ONLINE BLOGS SHOW MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT CHEVY WONT RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SENSOR INACCURATE IN 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER; OCCURS CONSTANTLY, IT IS NEVER CORRECT, MUST USE ODOMETER RESET. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT IT BECAUSE MY DEALER ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED SEVERAL IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11014 FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY AND RANDOMNESS OF INFORMATION. RAN OUT OF FUEL TWICE ON INTERSTATE DUE TO INACCURATE INFORMATION. SAFELY GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD BOTH TIMES AND REQUIRED ROAD SERVICE TO PROVIDE FUEL TO GET TO NEXT STATION FOR FUEL.

FUEL GAUGE ACTS UP HAD GM REPAIR FOR OVER 600.00. *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

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE I PUT GAS IN MY CAR AND TEN MINUTES LATER IT SAYS EMPTY I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. *TR

CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND LATER MY GAS GAUGE ON MY CAR STARTED ACTING STRANGE. NOW WHEN I FILL UP MY VEHICLE IT GOES TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT/WARNING COMES ON TELLING ME I HAVE NO GAS. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE GAUGE WILL GO TO WHAT THE LEVEL IS BUT SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. WE HAVE TO KEEP THE TRIP METER ON SO WE KNOW HOW MUCH GAS WE HAVE LEFT BASED ON THE MILEAGE. I HAVE CHECKED AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY ALOT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED, SO I HAVE CHOSEN TO DEAL WITH IT BASED ON THE MILEAGE. I HAVE READ ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR TRAIL BLAZERS. I BELIEVE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I DRIVE ALOT AND AM WORRIED THAT I WILL BE ON THE HIGHWAY SOMETIME AND RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS WOULD NOT BE GOOD AS I TRAVEL FROM WISCONSIN TO ILLINOIS ALOT AND THERE REALLY ARE NOT ALOT OF PLACES TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. SO THIS PROBLEM POSES A BIG ISSUE TO ME. I THINK THAT GMC SHOULD OWN UP AND FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

MANUFACTURER : GENERAL MOTORS CORP. COMPONENT(S) : I REQUESTS THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE TWO SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE LISTED BELOW. FIRST ISSUE: PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALSO MAY 2, 2011 THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO IT RIGHT AWAY. I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HOME TONIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I TURNED THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON. STILL NO LIGHTS, TURNED THEM OFF AND ON AND LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM THEN THEY CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON HOME. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. MY 1995 LINCOLN TOWN CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS SOME KIND OF RECALL HAD TO DO WITH THE AUTO TIMER. IS THERE SOME KIND OF RECALL TO FIX THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AMONGST THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE ALREADY AGAINST THE 2005 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER? *TR

FUEL GAUGE IN 2005 TRAILBLAZER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT SHOWS AS BEING EMPTY WHEN FULL AND 1/4 FULL WHEN ALMOST EMPTY. *TR

GAS GAUGE ON VEHICLE READ HIGHER THAN ACTUAL AMOUNT OF GAS RESULTING IN STALLING OF THE CAR. NOW GAS GAUGE REMAINS AT EMPTY. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY, EVEN AFTER THE GAS TANK IS FULL OF GAS. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL ALSO JUMP TO 1/4 OF A TANK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY BACK TO EMPTY.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. FILLED UP GAS TANK AND FUEL GAUGE REMAINED ON EMPTY. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP IN OCT 2010, 67,864 MILES ON VEHICLE. THEY ADVISED IT WAS A KNOW PROBLEM. HAD REPAIRED AT COST OF $800. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY SHOWING THE TANK IS EMPTY - EVEN AFTER IT HAS BEEN FILLED UP.

THE FUEL GAUGE OF MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. IT STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY AT SOMEWHERE NEAR 85,000 MILES. IT NO LONGER EVER SHOWS A FULL TANK, EVEN AFTER A FILL UP, STOPPING JUST SHORT OF 1/2 FULL. THE GAUGE THEN WILL GO UP AND DOWN FROM THIS POINT AT WILL, MOVING USUALLY DOWN TO "E" AS I SIT IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I CAN FILL UP, AND LESS THE 150 MILES LATER, IT WILL SHOW EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH I'VE USED LESS THEN 1/2 A TANK OF GAS. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION, EVEN AS THIS GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK. I WAS NOT HIT, BUT WAS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED. I AM NOW HEARING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN GM VEHICLES.

FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING SO IT WAS NEVER KNOWN HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN VEHICLE. VEHICLE COULD STALL DUE TO NOT HAVING ADEQUATE FUEL. *TR

THE GASOLINE GAUGE WOULD NOT READ ACCURATELY. IF WE FILLED UP OUR GAS TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY. WE NEVER REALLY KNEW HOW MUCH GASOLINE WE HAD IN THE TANK. WE HAD THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR REPLACED ON 9/02/09. THIS WAS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. WE FEEL THAT GM SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS PART AND WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR OUR EXPENSES.

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN WHICH THE GAS GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, IT STARTED SENDING THE ALARM OF LOW FUEL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS PLENTY OF GAS IN VEHICLE. NOW, THE GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN AND EVENTUALLY WILL BE IN THE EMPTY POSITION EVEN AFTER I HAVE FILLED IT UP. NEED TO GET VEHICLE FIXED, BUT WAITING UNTIL A RECALL OCCURS. *TR

I DRIVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE GAS GAUGE IS WILDLY INACCURATE. IN FACT, WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I RAN OUT OF GAS. IT WAS IN THE EVENING DURING THE COLD MICHIGAN WINTER AND I HAD MY 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME IN HER CAR SEAT. THE GAUGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ME WITH AN ACCURATE IDEA OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND I AM FORCED TO EITHER USE MY ODOMETER OR JUST MAKE AN EDUCATED GUESS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

MY WIFE'S 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S FUEL GAUGE FAILED. SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD THINKING SHE HAD A 1/4 TANK OR SO OF GAS WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY CAUSING HER VEHICLE TO STALL WHICH NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY FOR US, THE DRIVER BEHIND HER HAD AMPLE DISTANCE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING HER VEHICLE. WHEN THE CHEVY DEALER WAS CONTACTED THEY INDICATED THEY WERE AWARE OF A FAULTY PICKUP (?) IN THE TANK AND BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BY GENERAL MOTORS. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND FIXED. IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY THERE MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PLEASE MANDATE A RECALL FOR THIS SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ALL OF THE TIME AND WHEN IT IS WORKING IT IS NOT ACCURATE, SHORTLY AFTER FILLING TANK, LOW FUEL ALARM SOUNDS. THE ALARM IS A DISTRACTION, IN ADDITION THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT INDICATES THERE IS FUEL AND THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS, THE CREATES A HAZARD, GETTING STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 80,000 MILES. AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT OPERATE. IT WENT OUT AROUND 50,000 MILES. *TR

I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AS DOCUMENT DP10001. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO INSTALLED A NEW FUEL SENSOR KIT, GM PART # 19178477. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER THAT GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND HAS CAUSED ME TO STALL OUT ON A STREET AND ALMOST CAUSE MORE ISSUES. *TR

GAS GAUGE INDICATES LOW AFTER FILL UP. IT THEN VARIES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACK HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE LEFT BY MILEAGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE USERS OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS IN TRAFFIC (LOCAL ROAD OR HIGHWAY) IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. SINCE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, I THINK THE NHTSB SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND GET CHEVROLET TO RECALL THESES VEHICLES TO REPLACE THE SENDING UNITS. I NOTICED A COMPLAINT WAS FILED FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THE NHTSB BACK IN 2010, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR ACTION, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT. AGAIN, SO MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT DISPLAY FUEL LEVEL. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER/GMC ENVOY. THE DEFECT IF LEFT UNREPAIRED CAN LEAD TO STALLING DURING OPERATION AND LEAD TO VEHICLE CRASHES AND OR DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

MARCH 30, 2011, I SPENT $80.00 ON FUEL TO FILL MY TRAILBLAZER WITH GAS. I STARTED DRIVING AND THE GAS GAUGE NEVER MOVED, AND WAS STILL SHOWING EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL WARNING CHIMING. WHEN I WAS ALMOST HOME THE FUEL GAUGE FINALLY STARTED MOVING BUT NEVER WENT PAST A HALF TANK. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SIGNS OF A FUEL LEAK AND NOTHING LOOKED OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WHEN I HAD TO LEAVE AGAIN TO RUN ERRANDS THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD MOVE, HOWEVER, IT WOULD GO BACK DOWN TO EMPTY WHEN I WAS STOPPED OR PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH REAR TAIL LIGHT PANEL WIRES FRYING AND HAVING TO REPLACE THOSE WHEN THERE WERE NO APPARENT CAUSES (MOISTURE, ETC.). LIGHTS DIMMING WHILE I ROLL UP A WINDOW OR PUSH OTHER BUTTONS IN THE CAR (RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROL) AND LIGHTS IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CAR JUST BLOWING OUT. FUSES ARE FINE, ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY ARE FINE. WHY IS THIS VEHICLE HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS AT 56,000 MILES? I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ARE NOT LIFE THREATENING ISSUES, BUT WHAT IS NEXT. WHY DO I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MONITOR MY MILEAGE JUST TO MAKE SURE I DON'T STALL OR RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN I AM DRIVING. ARE WE THE CUSTOMERS SUPPOSED TO SHELL OUT $$$ TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE CONTINUALLY ON DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS. I DON'T THINK SO. GMC NEEDS TO DRASTICALLY IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND DURABILITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS, AND STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS THEY DO HAVE. WORD OF MOUTH IS WAY MORE EFFECTIVE THAN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ADVERTISING
