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 .

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING. ONLY 34K MILES ON THE CAR AND BOUGHT BRAND NEW. *TR

2006 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER WITH APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE VEHICLE DIED ON ME WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. ALL THE ICONS IN THE DASH BOARD LIT UP AND ENGINE ALARMS WENT OFF BEFORE IT DIED. I TRIED TO RESTART, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO THE KEY LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. A GOOD SAMARITAN GAVE ME A JUMP START AND I MADE MY WAY HOME. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. A MONTH HAS GONE BY AND THE PROBLEM STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS TIME, I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND NOTHING HAPPENED. 5 SECONDS LATER ON IT'S OWN THE VEHICLE CRANKED OVER AS I WAS ABOUT TO STEP OUT OF THE CAR. I CONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER WEEK WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS WEEK IS ANOTHER STORY, IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAVE READ BLOGS ONLINE WITH MANY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR. ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT I HAVE A DEAD CELL IN MY BATTERY. OF COURSE A MONTH AGO, THEY SAID MY BATTERY WAS GOOD. MY BROTHER INLAW ALSO OWNS A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE INVESTIGATE I'M RUNNING OUT PATIENTS AND MONEY. NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY ISSUE BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

1. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE ORIGINAL FAILURE, BUT I WOULD SAY IT STARTED AFTER I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS 2. IT WAS EVERY TIME I FILLED WITH GAS FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, NOW IT IS CONSTANT AND EVERY TIME MY CAR IS IN MOTION. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND COST IS WELL OVER $800, ALSO THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE EXACT PROBLEM. DETAILS: MY FUEL LIGHT ON MY CAR REPORTS THAT THERE IS NO GAS IN THE CAR EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON BECAUSE OF THIS AND CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE CAR. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEAL SAYS IT IS COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST OVER $800. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE OF THE WARNINGS THAT COME ON THE CAR. IT STARTED AFTER FILLING WITH GAS AND BEFORE WOULD BE NORMAL AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES. NOW IT IS CONSTANT. WHEN I FIRST START THE VEHICLE IT WORKS FINE AND TELLS ME THE RANGE, BUT AS SOON AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT GOES BACK TO EMPTY. HAVE REPLACED GAS CAP AND OTHER THINGS AS SUGGESTED, BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOW CONSTANT AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING I CAN SMELL GAS VERY STRONG. IT LASTS FOR A ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND IS FRIGHTENING, THE DEALERSHIPS SAYS IT COULD BE THE PRESSURE IN THE GAS TANK. IT IS VERY SCARY AND VERY EXPENSIVE FOR AN ISSUE THEY ARE UNSURE OF. I REQUEST YOU INVESTIGATE THIS BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT UNLESS WE SPEND THE MONEY FOR THEM TO FIX SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT
