FUEL SENSOR DIED ON 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. *TR

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIME BY THE MECHANIC AT CHEVY THAT THE IDLER PULLEY IS CONSTANTLY A PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TRAILBLAZER AND ONE DAY I FILLED UP MY TANK AND MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. AFTER A WHILE OF DRIVING IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN BUT EVENTUALLY IT STOP COMPLETELY. I HAVE HAD THE HIGH INPUT FUEL SENSOR REPLACE ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THE "NEW" ONE HAS STOPPED WORKING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THEY WOULD NOT STOP FUNCTIONING WHEN THEY WERE DEACTIVATED. THE ABS LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

GAS GAUGE SHOWS ON EMPTY EVEN WHEN FULL ON A 2006 TRAIL BLAZER TOOK TO DEALER WOULD NOT FIX COUSE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ONLY HAVE 37,000 MILES. RAN OUT OF GAS IN FREEWAY ALMOST GOT HIT TRYING TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS GAS GAUGE FAIL. GAS GAUGE STOPS WORKING AND STAYS ON EMPTY. YOU HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE MILES OR SPEND MAJOR MONEY JUST TO HAVE IT WORKED ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. CHEVROLET SEEMS TO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ADDING GASOLINE TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE EMPTY POSITION. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR CONTINUED TO READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,871 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED; IT WOULD DISPLAY A FULL, EMPTY OR A HALF TANK WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT ON 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS WITH 6 CYLINDER. GAUGE FLUCTUATION STARTED WITH ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF FUEL, WOULD SHOW EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATING THEN UP TO ABOUT 3/4 THEN TO 1/4, YOU GET THE IDEA!!! *TR

GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY, EVEN AFTER I FILL IT UP. CAUSE ME TO RUN OUT GAS TWICE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!

FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. LOW LEVEL LIGHT IS ALWAYS LUMINATED LOW FUEL WARNING DISPLAYED. *DT

GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER INDICATES THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY, DOES NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS B/C ALOT OF PEOPLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER MARKS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF JUST BEING FILLED UP. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 05 & 06 TRAILBLAZER AROUND THE 40,000 MILE MARK. *TR

MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WAS REPLACEMENT INTERNET SHOWING DEFECTS WITH PART ON THE TRAILBLAZER AND GM IS NOT DOING A RECALL BUT THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IN 2006 TRAILBLAZER LS FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY. IT FLUCTUATES FROM EMPTY TO PROPER FULL LEVEL AND SOMETIMES FAILS TO WORK AT ALL. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH GM TRAILBLAZERS FROM 2005 ON. OTHER GM MODELS AS WELL IE, TAHOE AND UPLANDER. I HAVE 43,500 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

2006 TRAILBLAZER LT, PURCHASED GM CERTIFIED USED, 32,000MILES, AT 39,000 I FILLED THE GAS TANK, RESTARTED MY CAR AND THE GAUGE READ E WHICH CONTINUED UNTIL IT FINALLY GOT TO 3/4. THIS WAS NOT CONTINUOUS DRIVING. OK UNTIL I FILLED IT AGAIN AND I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING, CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING AND BRING IT IN THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS WHICH I PLAN TO DO. FOR NOW I WRITE DOWN THE MILEAGE. MY FEAR WILL THIS PROBLEM OF REGISTERING WRONG MAKE MY CAR THINK IT'S OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND STOP IN TRAFFIC!! *TR

THE STABILITRAC SYSTEM ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS GIVING WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE OF A FAILURE IN A READ WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND A STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR. THESE FAILURES OCCURRED JUST ONE YEAR AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS INTERNET POSTS FROM OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE STABILITRAC SYSTEM FAILS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SAFELY NAVIGATE SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE FUEL READING; WHENEVER FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANK AT ANY CAPACITY LEVEL. THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WHICH RESULTED IN THE FUEL GAUGE READING AT ZERO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL SYSTEM. ON A DAILY BASIS MY FUEL GAUGE MOVES FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND BACK AND ANYWHERE INBETWEEN. I HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF THE MILES DRIVEN SO I HAVE AN IDEA WHEN THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REFUELED. GM WANTS UPWARDS OF $1,000 TO FIX THEIR ERROR AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON WEBSITES SUCH AS TOPIX.COM, IT SEEMS THAT AN OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, DATING BACK TO 2008. *TR

DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT FAILING NATIONWIDE. FUEL GAUGE READING INACCURATE LEADING TO PRE-MATURE ENGINE FAILURE AND LEAVING THE DRIVER POSSIBLY UNABLE TO STEER AND STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS VEHICLE [XXX] . FUEL TANK SENSOR FAILURE. SENSOR FAILS TO SEND INFORMATION TO FUEL GAUGE. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN TANK. HAD VEHICLE TO CHEVY GARAGE, COSTS $400.00 TO GET VEHICLE FIXED AND ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES. I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. SOME HAVE STATED THAT THEY ALREADY HAD VEHICLE FIXED ONCE AND IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. THE MAN AT THE CHEVY GARAGE TOLD ME THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON TWO OTHER MODELS OF TRUCKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. DOESN'T SEEM QUITE FAIR. I HAVE 73,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

2006 TRAIL BLAZER FUEL GAUGE INACCURATE*CW THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THERE WAS A FULL TANK OF GAS, IT REGISTERED EMPTY FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND THEN IT WOULD READ FULL, THEN EMPTY AGAIN. ALSO, THERE WAS AN ERROR CODE FOR THE TANK LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, AND THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, THE GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP AND IT WILL GO OFF AT ABOUT 50 MILES. IT COMES ON AGAIN AROUND 270 MILES. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE, BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WASN'T RESET AFTER GETTING A FEW GALLONS OF GAS (SOMEONE ELSE HAD PUT FUEL IN MY TRAILBLAZER). I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED, SINCE IT WILL COST OVER $800.00. SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY WRECKS OR INJURIES BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. *TR

CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE FAILURE. FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDS REPLACED, COST ~$800 WITH LABOR. GAUGE RANDOMLY GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY, AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENSOR. THE FUEL GAUGE CONSTANTLY STAYS YELLOW - INDICATING EMPTY - REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL, CAUSING ME TO USE ONLY MY TRIPOMETER TO GAUGE THE AMOUNT OF MILEAGE I HAVE LEFT ON A TANK OF FUEL. IT ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON WHENEVER I FILL UP. AS MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE REPAIR WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT I'M FINDING OUT IS A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH THE SEVERAL GM PRODUCTS - WITH NO RECOURSE THROUGH CHEVROLET. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. AFTER REFUELING THE TRUCK, I NOTICED THE GAS CAP DID NOT LOCK PROPERLY AND THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO JUMP FROM EMPTY TO FULL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED THE FUEL CAP BUT THE FUEL GAUGE CONTINUED TO READ INACCURATELY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. A CHEVY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK. HE SAID THE REPAIRS WOULD COST ~$1,000. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO BE CONTINUOUSLY CHECKING THE MILEAGE ODOMETER TO ASSURE I DON'T NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. MY BOSS HAS A GMC ENVOY WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS SEVERAL HUNDRED IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. THIS FAULTY GAS GAUGE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR AND NOT REQUIRE CAR OWNERS TO REPAIR.*TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE DRIVER ADDED FUEL TO THE TANK; HOWEVER, THE GAS GAUGE INDICATED THAT IT WAS EMPTY. THE DRIVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF THE GAUGE WOULD RESET; TO NO AVAIL. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE GAS GAUGE DID INDICATE THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL; YET, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE GAUGE SLOWLY BEGAN TO MOVE UP AND DOWN BUT NEVER INDICATING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL. SINCE THE FUEL GAGE HAS MALFUNCTIONED, THE CONTACT IS UNSURE OF HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE TANK. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF A MONTH AGO BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE THAT. THE DRIVER DID CONTACT A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON FOR TRAILBLAZERS AND THE IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $400-$750 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

IN MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, THE GAS SENSOR DOES NOT WORK AND CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL AS CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO REMAIN ON EMPTY REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK AND THE REPAIR WOULD COST ME $500 TO REPLACE A PART THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY FAIL AGAIN. GM HAS REFUSED TO COVER PARTIAL EXPENSES OF THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF SAID PROBLEM. I FIRST NOTIFIED GM ON 6/23/2009 AND THEY HAVE YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OPEN INVESTIGATION :ACTION NUMBER DP10001. *TR

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS NOW I'M BEING TOLD MY FUEL SENSOR IS BAD. MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS GOING TO COST OVER 700.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL UP 15 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAMETHING. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY AND FUEL LEVEL LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH FUEL TANK FULL. GAUGE BECOMES ERRATIC AS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. CONDITION APPEARS TO BE INTERMITTENT AND SO FAR SELF CORRECTS AFTER FUEL SETTLES IN TANK OVER NIGHT. *TR

MY PASSENGER SEAT BELT IN THE FRONT GOT STUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD GET THE SEAT BELT UNLOCK BUT THEY COULDN'T. SO I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THE DEALER CUT THE SEAT BELT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT DISPLAY AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. EVEN WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH FUEL, THE GAUGE REMAINS ON EMPTY. *TR

WHEN I HIT ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER, MY GAS TANK SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. NOW MY GAS GAUGE ALWAYS SHOWS EMPTY. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHER BODY SHOP, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $600 TO $700 TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT IS A DEFECT ON THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

ISSUE: THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE FUEL LIGHTS COMES ON AND STAYS ON EVEN AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THE ISSUE STARTED AROUND MID JANUARY 2010 AND HAS GOTTEN WORST. MY ONLY COMFORT IS KNOWING THAT I DO HAVE GAS IN MY TANK BUT IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND UNNERVING. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE. I HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET IT REPAIRED BUT NOT SURE OF THE COST OR HOW LONG I MAY BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR DOES NOT FUNCTION. THIS CAUSES THE FUEL TANK TO CONSTANTLY READ EMPTY. I NOTICED THIS JUST AS THE WARRANTY ON MY LEASED VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE DUE TO MILEAGE THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE THE TRIP ODOMETER ON THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE IF I NEED FUEL OR NOT. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED OCCURRING, IT WORKED AND THEN DIDN'T WORK AND I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON SOME BUSY ROADS AND HAD TO PUSH MY VEHICLE TO A FUEL STATION. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PORTER CHEVY TO HAVE IT FIXED THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME $950. I SPOKE TO OTHER CHEVY DEALERS AND THEY SAID PRICES RANGING FROM $800-$1500 TO CORRECT AND HAD TWO MECHANICS TELL ME THAT THE PART IS GARBAGE AND THAT IT WOULD JUST BREAK AGAIN WITHIN A YEAR NOT TO WASTE MY MONEY. I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THROUGH THE CPSC AND FOUND 50 OTHERS JUST LIKE MINE ON THERE. NOT NHTSA WAS ON CNN AND I CHECKED TO SEE OVER 200 SIMILAR CASES ON THIS SITE SOME INVOLVING SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES OVER THE SAME PROBLEM I'M HAVING. I HAVE 3 SMALL KIDS AND NEED THIS CORRECTED. NOT MY FAULT THAT CHEVY IS RIPPING OFF ITS CUSTOMERS WITH FAULTY PARTS. *TR

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED, GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. DEALER WANTS $581 TO REPAIR. *TR

1) FILLED GAS TANK FULL ON 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT 2) BEGAN DRIVING AND GAS GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON- AFTER APPROX. 10-20 MILES GAS GAUGE GOES BACK UP TO FULL - THOUGH UNSURE IF IT IS ACCURATE - THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP 3) SPOKE WITH GM DEALERSHIP - $450.00 TO DROP GAS TANK AND REPLACE FUEL GAUGE SENDER/SENSOR - HAVE NOT REPLACED YET DUE TO COST - AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS - REQUESTING RECALL. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS ACTS ERRATICALLY THEN STOPS WORKING. I RAN OUT OF FUEL TWICE, ONCE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT RUSH HOUR, AND AGAIN AFTER HAVING WORK DONE AT THE DEALER. THEY HAD TO DRAIN SOME FUEL TO DO THE WORK AND DIDN'T TELL ME. HAVING CALCULATED HOW MUCH I HAD, I THOUGHT I WAS OK BUT I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE WAY HOME AT 9PM AT NIGHT ON A DARK SINGLE LANE ROAD WITH THE BABY IN THE BACK SEAT. *TR

FUEL PUMP ISSUES ON A 2006 TRAILBLAZER. *TR

GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER INDICATES THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY, DOES NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AT ANY GIVEN TIME. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THE SENSOR IS THE CAUSE AND THAT THIS IS A "PROBLEM" ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TRANSMISSION ON MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER FAILED AT 44,000 MILES. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY OPERATE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. DEALERSHIP INSPECTION INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED PREMATURELY BUT HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DOES NOT SHOW CORRECT FUEL LEVEL IN FUEL TANK. MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS WITH 6 CYL. ENGINE ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD BECOME A DEADLY SITUATION IF SOMEONE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP. I HAVE FOUND OVER 200 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS, YUKONS, AND VARIOUS OTHER GM VEHICLES. PLEASE VISIT THIS WEB SITE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR IS KILLED. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/ALERTS/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TH8JI6TEPO3VRJI3D. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR FAILURE. 2006 TRAILBLAZER LT. WAS INTERMITTENT FOR AROUND 2-3 WEEKS LAST WINTER THEN STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. NOW I TRACK FUEL LEVEL BY GAL USED ON THE ON BOARD COMPUTER. *TR

WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY TRAILBLAZER REVS UP AND TRIES TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PUSH HARDER ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING. *TR

THE FUEL SENSOR FOR MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WENT OUT SO IT READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. DOING INTERNET RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN AND LIVE IN A EXTREME WEATHER CLIMATE. *TR

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE KEEPS BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH AND SHOWING EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILL UPS. FROM WHAT I READ IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND DESERVES A RECALL . *CN

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP AND IT DID NOT REGISTER FULL. IT NOW IS VERY ERRATIC. ONE MINUTE IT WILL READ A LEVEL AND THE NEXT FEW MINUTES IT WILL READ EMPTY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER 2006 TRAILBLAZERS AND AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INVESTIGATION OR A RECALL. I AM LOOKING AT A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT I CANNOT AFFORD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEREAS SOMEONE COULD BE MAIMED OR KILLED. I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD THAT I TRANSPORT IN THIS AUTO AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY GAS GAUGE SHOULD GENERAL MOTORS BE HELD LIABLE FOR NOT FIXING A PROBLEM THEY KNOW EXISTS?? *TR

THE GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION, INDICATING THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY WHEN IT WAS NOT OR INACCURATELY MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THIS ALSO TRIGGERS THE ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON AND NOW HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE HAS 60,000 MILES AND THE PART WAS REPLACED FOR $530. *TR

(1) STABILITY CONTROL WAS ENGAGED WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO STABILIZE THE VEHICLE (SUV). STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR REPLACED. (2) FUEL TANK ALWAYS READ EMPTY. FUEL TANK REMOVED AND REPLACED FUEL SENSORS. *TR

GAS GAUGE IN 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WENT OUT AND IS STUCK ON "E". NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS, WHICH IS A HAZARD ON THE ROADWAYS. CAR ONLY HAS 39,300 MILES ON IT. *TR
