| Filled up truck and gas gauge still said it was empty. gas gauge is faulty and no longer works. have to keep track of mileage now so i don't run out of gas. i also read that gm is willing to cover half the cost and were suppose to send a letter stating that. never received anything. not at all impressed with gm and will find it hard to stay a loyal customer. *tr | |||

| Cluster instrument panel failed. rpm odometer doesn't work, speed ranges from 80-off the charts, gas gauge not accurate. apparently big problem w/over 300 complaints yet no recall. firestone just quoted me $700 for a remove and replace instrument cluster gauge. $600 for the gauge itself. i can't afford that. | |||

| Gas gauge fails. after completely filling gas tank, gauge still shows below empty and light stays on. this has been going on for several months. i have run out of gas twice - once at a busy intersection and was fortunate to coast thru the intersection and make it to the side. i now track my gas usage via milage but this is not accurate and causes me to have to stop and put gas in every other day for fear of breaking down again with my four year old son in the car. i have a couple of friends that also own 2005 trailblazers and they are also having the same problem. i have found numerous online forums discussing this an i am surprised chevrolet has not issued a recall. if they have, i have never been notified. this is a serious issue and chevrolet should be responsible and resolve this before someone is seriously hurt because of this problem. | |||

| 1) fuel gauge indicator shows an empty reading despite just being filled. after driving for 40-50 miles gauge will show about a quarter of a tank for a shor time and then go back to empty. when problem first started the guage was all over the dial. 2) speedometer erratically will show a speed at a greater speed than actually traveling. recently showed going 110mph despite traveling along with traffic flow of approximatley 65 mph on major interstate highway. | |||

| I filled up my gas tank completely and the gas gauge registered empty. the truck has also stalled a few times in both drive and reverse. this is extremely dangerous as i was backing into traffic when it stalled. i had to quickly re-start it to avoid being hit by oncoming traffic. since my fuel gage sensor broke i have been watching the needle go from full to empty all within a minute. i've done some research on this matter and have found that chevrolet used a cheaper fuel sensor manufacturer (delco) in order to save money. the customer should not be responsible for any of the cost to repair the fuel sensor. please advise chevrolet to recall this faulty part at their expense. thank you. | |||

| At approx 36,800 miles the gas gauge no longer functioned. the low fuel light is always on and the gas gage always shows either empty or 1/2 full even after a fill up. in order to not run out of gas, you need to keep track of milage with trip meter and fill up at 150 to 175 miles. the cost to fix this malfunction is over $500. in addition, the thermostat froze open and needed replaced along with the sensor inside the thermostat. this happened at 48000 miles. | |||

| The fuel gage reads inaccurate readings. this causes problems as to know how much gasoline is available in the vechicle. upon filling tank the gage will read empty. when driving the gage will read a quater of a tank then drop down to show as empty. there is never a true reading as to how much gasoline is in the vechicle. also not sure if letting this issue go will cause future issues. | |||

| The fuel gauge registers empty when the tank has just been filled. it never recovers to an accurate reading and has never since this incident initially occured. | |||

| The fuel gauge has not been working for months. after approximately 5 gallons are used of the 20 gallon tank, it will read empty and the engine light will go off. on christmas eve, our family of 4 including two toddlers was stranded on the side of the highway because we ran out of gas due to the inaccurate fuel gauge, and when the towtruck arrived there was not enough gas to start the truck because they only bring $5 and with today's gas prices it equates to less than 2 gallons. we had to then be towed to a gas station, moving car seats into the tow truck and the toddlers screaming on the side of the highway because they didn't know what was going on, to fill the rest of the tank. while gm has offered to help (only 50%, even though this is a known problem, they are only admitting premature failure) with the cost of the repair, they won't cover it for me because i have over 120,000 miles currently, which they stated you must have less than for them to cover the 50%, even though i had less than 120,000 when the problem started occurring. even upon filling the tank, it takes about a day for the gauge to read full, and then it begins to fall steadily, not reflecting the actual amount in the tank. | |||

| On december 21, 2011 my fuel had a half tank of gas. i went into the store and came out my fuel registered empty light came on. i rushed to the gas station to put more gas in and thought some one stold my gas out of my tank. this happened with the amount of fuel in my tank not registering four times since the first incident. than on january 01, 2012 my front wind shield wipers will not stop. when i turn off the vehicle they stop, when i turn on the vehicle they continue to wipe my windows until i turn my vehicle off. | |||

| The fuel gague on my 2005 trailblazer stopped reading correctly and has stopped working completely. i use the trip mileage to determine how much fuel i have in my tank. i have run out of gas several times since them because this is not the most accurate method. i have read on several chevy forums that this is a common occurrence on the trailblazer yet gm refuses to issue a recall on the faulty product. what else can be done aside from filing more complaints??? | |||

| I was driving on the freeway when i noticed my speedometer suddenly went to 100 miles an hour. i knew this could not be the case as my gps showed i was traveling at 55mph. it then went to 120miles an hour and flip flopped back and forth. i went to the chevolet dealership and they informed me it was the electrical cluster and even though there were many compliants, chevolet would not pay for it. the cost to me would be over $500 i live on a small social security check, so could not afford to repair it. next at 85,000 miles the fuel gauge went haywire and would not register any fuel although i would fill it completely. also, the lights blink off and on when i am driving at night, so, i am afraid i will be stranded somewhere in the dark with my car quitting all together. this was my last car purchase before i retired and i am just sick that the chevolet company will not fix these defects...they fix the same cluster in their chevolet trucks....why not in the cars? by the way, i just got a letter last week saying they would split the cost to fix the fuel gauge...(my cost is $200 1/3 of my social security check!! | |||

| I have a 2005 chev trailblazer. the gas gauge quick working almost a year and half ago. originally, i would fill up the tank and it would read only 1/2 tank. over time, it read all different readings from full when empty to 1/3 tank when full. for the past six months or so, it has remained on empty with the gas light on and dings occasionally flashing low fuel - even though i just filled up. i have learned to go by mileage to prevent running out of gas but this is very much an inconvenience for something that is a manufacturer defect. i fear running out of gas or having an accident related to running out of gas so i keep my tank as full as possible and fill up frequently. i have not had repaired due financial restraints but have recently been reading about the numerous complaints of the same issue. i would like to report this official complaint to add to your investigation. | |||

| Two days after filling tank, i started having problems with the gas guage. i had driven about 250 miles, but the guage still read 3/4 full. my wife then took the truck to work that afternoon, thinking there was 3/4 tank of fuel left she did not fill up for the 80 mile round trip. half way home at 3:00 am she runs out of gas in the worst section of phoenix you can imagine. as she works in an inner city hospital, she drives through this section of the city daily and we have always made sure she has a reiable vehicle for the trip. fortunately a police officer stopped and stayed with her until aaa showed up. i would hate to think what would happen to a woman alone in a drug infested area of the city while her vehicle breaks down for a faulty fuel guage. | |||

| First was the right tail light caught fire and blew fuses, then i get power surges that cause the vehicle to accelerate randomly at the worst times and/or will also stall out, which can be potentially very dangerous or end in a fatal accident, it drops in rpms and lights dim then it accelerates... and the last thing is that the fuel gauge fluctuates dramatically and you can never tell how much fuel you really have... drive 10 miles at quarter of a tank and it either stays close to the same spot or drops and the light comes on for low fuel. | |||

| I had just bought my 2005 chevy trailblaser lt. i bought it from a dealer used and they didnt tell me the gas gauge didn't work right. i have ran out of gas quite a few times.i try to remember to set my tripmeter but sometimes i forget. needless to say its a huge problem. i have driven chevys all my life and so has my family, i am very dissapointed gm has not taken care of this problem and had a recall. for what i paid and since i've always owned a chevy they need to get off thier corporate butts and fix it!! this is a danger to the people who drive them as well as passengers and other vehicles on the road. i was hoping gm would voluntairily recall these vehicles, but they won't so its up to the nhtsa to make gm responsible. thank you | |||

| When tank is full, fuel gauge reads as empty and low fuel light comes on. a little while later, the gauge will move up and then back down and light will come back on. not sure how much gas is in tank based on the fuel gauge. | |||

| The fuel gauge stopped working almost immediately after my 3 year warranty expired. i have read on the online forums that this is a very common problem. also from talking to mechanics it appears that it is a very common problems with trailblazers. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer with a faulty fuel gauge. a year or two ago the fuel gauge started working intermittently. sometimes it would show an accurate reading and other times it would not. now the fuel gauge just shows empty 100% of the time, no matter how much fuel is in the tank. due to this issue, i have ran out of fuel and stalled several times. as you can imagine, this is a major safety concern. when the vehicle stalls power steering and braking are lost and it can be difficult to maneuver a large vehicle like this without those systems. i took the vehicle to the dealer and they are stating that the problem is a bad fuel sending unit and the cost to repair is over $600. researching the issue online i have found that this seems to be a widespread issue. this is unacceptable and a recall needs to be ordered. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. i purchased said vehicle at the end of july-beginning of august 2007. i have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of owning a chevy due to not having any issues...well that was until december 2009. i began noticing that my gas gauge was malfunctioning. i would fill up the tank but it would read empty, and that problem has been ongoing since my discovery. i currently have to read my mileage to know when to put gas in my tank. additionally, i have ran out of gas twice and both times putting myself in harms way and damaging my fuel pump (which is costly). just two days ago i ran out of gas on a busy street, i didn't panic, but i was a bit nervous. i hit the hazards, and pulled up my emergency break (because breaks and steering wield froze up). the vehicle behind me slammed on breaks just missing me by inches. this is no way to live and drive. i'm scared to go out of town or take back roads because i may give out of gas in an area where there is no cell phone tower or low to no signals. this has put me in a very bad space. | |||

| This complaint is concerning a defective fuel level sensor. on or near the incident date, the vehicle's fuel tank was filled to the top. this was the first time the tank was completely filled in several months (due to high gas prices). upon driving away from the pump, the dash fuel gauge read 'empty'. prior to topping off the tank, the gauge was reading approximately 1/3 full. the gauge continued to read 'empty' until the level was down to approximately 7/8 full. after that, the gauge varied between less than 1/8 full to actual level and sometimes would read 'empty' briefly. after the fuel was down to less than 3/4 full, the gauge appeared to read normal until filled again. this pattern basically has continued to get worse. now, when the tank is topped off, it still reads 'empty' but doesn't read 'normal' until down to about 1/4 tank. i have resorted to logging mileage and date when topping off the tank and refilling before the tank should be empty based on mileage. | |||

| My gas gauge suddenly began malfunctioning after filling the tank. the gauge went down to empty, setting off the visual and audible indicators for an empty tank. after driving for awhile, the gauge began to slowly rise. this now happens every time i fill the tank, but now the gauge never goes up to the full point, usually staying around half of a tank until it starts to decline again. i can no longer trust the gauge. i have heard that this is becoming a common problem on some of the chevy models, particularly the trailblazer. | |||

| When my mileage on my 2005 chevy trailblazer was approximately 50,000, the fuel gauge suddenly stopped working and reads that there is an empty tank despite being filled to capacity. from my understanding, this is a systemic fault with the fuel sending unit in the 2005-06 chevy trailblazer models that has the potential of putting consumers at great risk due to the potential of running out of gas on expressways, highways, etc. and, as a result of an unexpected loss of mobility, being unnecessarily subject to imminent personal harm from other vehicles. i have lodged a personal complaint with gm and understand that they are aware of this defect in the fuel sending unit as being a system problem, but have failed to issue any voluntary recall of the part. due to the individual cost of approximately $800 for a consumer to procure this repair (which almost always seems to occur when these vehicles have surpassed 40,000 miles and are therefore outside of the warranty period), i believe it is very likely that a sufficient number of those consumers affected by this part failure, especially in the current economic climate, will be financially unable to afford the cost of repairing this defective part on their own and will, accordingly, be suject to unnecessary and substantial risk given the potential for them to find their vehicles out of gas without any warning whatsoever. moreover, the potential for collisions due to the sudden deceleration or stranded vehicles on the roadways also poses a substantial threat to other drivers that is entirely unecessary and extremely dangerous. | |||

| Shortly after the manufacturer's warranty expired, the fuel level sensor of my 2005 chevy trailblazer stopped working properly. the gas gage reads empty even when the tank is full. it occasionally moves from empty to 1/4 tank, 1/2 tank, then back to empty again. i was advised by the dealer that it would cost approximately $500 to fix. i never know exactly how much fuel is in the tank, so i find myself going to the gas station almost every other day. i have been stranded on side of the highway a few times (thank goodness for roadside assistance). however, it is very disheartening to know that this is a common problem with this vehicle and nothing is being done to ensure that gm is being held accountable for the quality of their parts. | |||

| Fuel gauge is constantly on empty. dings constantly. fill it often because i don't know if it will shut off on me in the middle of the road or not. i have tried putting in 5.00 or filling the tank. it never goes to full on the gauge. it is getting worse, used to go to half, now only goes to quarter full even when i fill it up. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. i have had multiple known problems with it. the most recent issue is with the gas gauge. when i fill my tank, the gauge shows as empty and dings at me for a few days and then will suddenly jump to 3/4 of a tank. also, i watch my mileage because i normally refill my tank around 300 miles and it seems to still show that i have 1/4 of a tank at 300 miles. unless i'm suddenly getting much better gas mileage, this isn't possible, so i fill my tank to be safe. i'm being told this is yet another known issue and it will cost another $800 to fix it. i've had 3 known issue in the last year and each of them seem to cost $800 to fix. if i run out of gas with my child in the car, it could be very dangerous since most of my driving is done on the interstate or expressway. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. the fuel system gauge is malfunctioning. i ran out of gas on a busy street twice before the system completely failed and i realized the issue was with the gauge. i have contacted gm and dealers and they say it is not a safety issue so there is no recall. this is a pervasive problem and a manufacturing defect and certainly has the potential to create serious safety issues if your vehicles stalls on any busy street. dealers will fix the problem for $600-$800. | |||

| Purchased a 2005 trailblazer after trading in a 2001 blazer. i have never had any problems with chevrolet until this upgrade. not long after the purchase i started running out of fuel and the car would stall in the middle of the road. in my opinion the stalling gets serious when you live in a large city and traffic moves fast. it is also very difficult to make it off the road when you do not know you have a problem like this as well. it wasn't until i began tracking my mileage and having it inspected that i found it was the fuel sensor. roughly it will cost about 700 dollars to fix. i am still, at this point, tracking my mileage which is a headache in itself. i have spoke with the dealership more than once and they made it clear that this is a very common issue with this vehicle and that is also my problem. i will be rethinking my next vehicle and my husbands as well since he owns a 2003 impala. | |||

| We own a 2005 chevy trailblazer and the gas gauge is not working. when we put fuel into the tank it registers on full then quickly will go down to emply. the gauge will then go up to half or a quarter then back to empty. therefore you are never really sure of the amount of gas there is in the tank. we try and watch the milage to use that as a guide but when we are constantly putting in a couple of gallons just be be sure we have gas we lose track. i am so afraid that i or one of my family members will be stranded from running out of gas. i tried contacting chevrolet but was unsuccessful in any kind of resolution. i have researched this problem online and found many instances of trailblazer owners with the same problem. | |||

| Gas gauge does not accurately account for what is in the fuel tank. after filling the tank up with gasoline the gauge will go to empty and the low fuel light will come on. the gauge will move from full to empty periodically. have been using the digital fuel used readout to gauge when i need to refuel. | |||

| While driving down highway, fuel gauge began moving radically from empty to full and never stabilized. each time the gauge approached the empty the warning light and alarm would sound. constant movement of fuel gauge and alarm is distracting to driver. inaccurate fuel measurement causes concern for diver which is an unnecessary distraction from driving that could lead to accident. | |||

| Erratic fuel gauge, reports no fuel even when fuel available, reports 1/4 tank of fuel available and no fuel may be available or i may have just filled the tank; also reports no fuel or low fuel when tank has been filled. vehicle has stalled out and would not start; was out of fuel but gauge indicated 1/4 tank of fuel. oil gauge has also become erratic; and goes from showing no oil pressure to low oil pressure to very high pressure. have to pull over immediately and check oil level at side of road or where ever available to do so at time. not always safe area to pull off. both issues create very hazardous and dangerous situations for the driver and passengers in the vehicle. | |||

| While driving on the expressway the gas gauge indicator beeped indicating that i was low on fuel. i was not sure when i filled up last so i stopped and filled up with gas. after filling up with gas, i restarted the vehicle, the gas gauge still read empty. two months prior to this i had to replace the instrument cluster on the dash (speedometer, etc), so with this being the case, i determined that the gas sending unit was faulty or broken. from what i read, the cost to fix this varies from $650 to $850. i've put off this repair since i find that many people have the same problem and have heard news reports about a possible recall for this. basically now, the gauge is never correct and fluctuates between empty & 1/4 of a tank. it will drop or rise multiple times in a 20 mile trip. | |||

| I purchased the vehicle in february, and the fuel gauge worked fine. a few weeks later, as i was driving, the vehicle stalled. confused, as the gas gauge read 1/2 a tank remaining, i called a friend to come pick me up. he put gas in the tank, and it started up first try. i made it to a fuel station, and filled the tank. the gauge read half all the way to the station, and when i filled it, it read empty for the first 40-50 miles. then, the needle floated the range of the gauge. it has been doing this ever since. | |||

| Tl- the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. the contact stated that the fuel guage would fluctuate and even with a full tank of gas, the vehicle would stall. the dealer advised the contact that since her vehicle was no longer under warranty that they could not assist. the manufacturer was not aware of the issue. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty fuel censor. he replaced the fuel censor, as well as the float and gas tank; however, the failure reoccured. the current mileage was 84,562. the failure mileage was 78,000. bw | |||

| Fuel gage drops to empty immediately after filling the tank. it then reads empty and will intermittently go up to 1/2 tank and back to empty. sometimes when driving and the tank is full it will ding 3 times and flash a low fuel warning. | |||

| The gas guage in my 2005 chevy trailblazer has stopped working. it began to show empty after filling my tank but then registering full about 50 miles after driving. now it always shows empty and i have to record my mileage to keep track of my gas. i am always concered i may run out of gas if i miscaculate my remaining gas. i can't take my 2005 trailblazer on vacation since i have no way of knowing how much gas is in my vehicle. my wife ran out of gas on the highway and was almost in an accident. the dealer wanted almost $800 dollars and two days to fix the gas gauge. i cannot afford the repairs so i am forced to hope i will be safe in my vehicle. | |||

| 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 !! | |||

| 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. | |||

| Gas guage not working properly. it never reads right anytime. after fueling up it could read anywhere from full to completly empty. when driving down the road it could show half a tank on the guage then suddenly drop to empty and the low fuel light comes on and shows empty. concerned that it might fail all together and leave me stranded in the middle of the freeway. have not had it fixed due to the high cost of the repair. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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 . | |||

| 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.

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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 guage. i have not corrected this failure because of the dollar amount it would take to fix it. | |||

| Nhtsa action number: pe11014 fuel gauge inaccuracy and randomness of information. ran out of fuel twice on interstates 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. other gauges were providing bad information and had to replace entire instrument panel to repair. repair cost $391.80 | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| As i was driving down a narrow and busy country road (because of a detour), my fuel indicator, which read 3/4 full, immediately hit empty and my car stalled out because it was out of gas. although up until that second the fuel indicator read 3/4 full, i was actually out of gas. i was nearly rear-ended, had no shoulder to escape to and if the people behind me had been following any closer there would have been a several car pile up. as it stood, this incident put many in danger and it was simply a miracle that it didn't cause an accident. after aaa brought me gas, i was able to drive to a gas station and even though i filled the tank, the indicator still read empty. the dealership told me that they'd heard of this many times before but would have to charge me almost $900.00 parts and labor to fix the issue, as it wasn't covered under any warranty and there was no recall. a few internet searches later and i find i'm one of thousands of people having this issue. please feel free to use my portion of the tax dollars i paid into the car manufacturer bail-out to issue a recall on this part so they can fix the problem, like any responsible manufacturer should. if it's toyota having a problem, we are worse then a dog with a bone; if it's an american manufacture, do we have to wait for someone to die over the issue before action is taken? sincerely and dissapointedly yours... | |||

| Mr. sean cummings of kodiak, alaska petitioned the agency in a letter dated november 12, 2011. the petitioner requests that nhtsa open an investigation into the performance/reliability of the fuel level sensor installed in model year 2005 chevrolet trailblazer vehicles. the petitioner alleges that the 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. odi will evaluate the petition for a grant or deny decision. | |||

| After stopping to fill up the gas tank on my vehicle, the fuel gauge registered that my car had no fuel. i filled the tank entirely, to the cost of $64.00, and when i started the car, the low fuel warning appeared. i tried to turning the car off and then on again, but the fuel system still registered that the gas tank was empty. i then tried to reset the internal computer by disconnecting the battery terminal. this also proved ineffective. after driving approximately 15 miles or so, the gas gauge fluctuated between an empty reading and a 1/2 tank reading. upon stopping finally about 4 miles later (total of approximately 20 miles driven after filling the tank to full) the fuel gauge went back to an empty reading, and has since remained there. i now have no way of knowing how much fuel is in my gas tank aside from tracking my mileage on my trip odometer, and estimating as to how much gas has been used, taking into account driving conditions, driving tendencies, highway versus city travel, etc. all factors considered, it is virtually impossible to track how much gas is in my car at all times, which poses a safety risk to myself, any of my passengers, and other drivers. | |||

| I was at the gas station filling my tank and the check engine light flashed on and then the low fuel warning message came on in the message center along with the low fuel indicator by the fuel gauge. i turned the truck off and on and the warning message and low fuel light stayed on. after driving for a while, it eventually goes off, but the fuel gauge does not register more than a 1/4 of a tank even when filled up and the warning message comes on along with the low fuel indicator as soon as i start the truck after filling the tank and when the truck is idling, the low fuel message and light come on. another issue with the truck is that the lighting system dims while driving and when i bought this issue up at the dealership, they said it was a known issue with the truck, but did nothing to correct the problem. | |||

| I just purchased a 2005 chevy trail blazer for my youngest daughter and safety was the reason for an suv. two monthes after my purchase the gas gage no longer works, almost always on e and some times jumps around. i cant afford to take chances with her life with an accedent or run out of gas in the wrong place. i asked a dealer and they told me they fix this problem on every trail blazer. they also told me i have to replace the fuel pump as well and this should be a recall issue. the total bill is around $700 for something that shouldnt happen on every trailblazer, dont you agree? i have done my homework and i see this happens to everyones trailblazer and could make us all look @ other autos in the future. im very happy with chevy cars, trucks and suv's lets keep our relationship a positive one ok? $700 will not brake my wallet just my trust. | |||

| Gas does not register when i fill up the tank. still reads empty. i have noticed on several websites that this is a very common problem and should be a recall. i travel w/small children in the vehicle and it is very dangerous to not know what exactly the fuel level is. i use the trip meter to hold me over, but it can be very hard to determine the amounts while using the trip meter for other recordings. i have had an estimate, but it is over $800 to have fixed and with this economy, that is just impossible to swing for such a common issue. | |||

| My speedometer dropped to zero as i was crossing railroad tracks, and my cd player stopped accepting cd's during that same time period for no apparent reason. the gauge later stuck at first 20 - 15 mph, and then to 10 mph when the suv is stopped. after about 2 months, it corrected itself. the gas gauge then went out. it would register the tank as empty no matter if it was filled. this began 2/2010. i, a disabled driver, have run out of gas on a deserted road 12:15 a.m. in the winter due to having to calculate miles driven with the tachometer to determine approximate gas consumption. unfortunately, that calculation doesn't account for engine idling in traffic jams . i sat in the middle of the road in my cold suv praying no one came around the curve and slammed into me since i ran out of gas in the middle of a dark rural road. i was terrified in this situation and rarely drive at night if i can help it because of the manufacturer's known defect and negligence. i have paid over $500 to repair these manufactures defects, only to have them malfunction again within 1 week of repair. i was told by the mechanic that he would not attempt to fix it a second time. once again, my speedometer is no longer registering the correct speed, and i have been pulled over by a police officer for speeding. i showed the officer my speedometer, and to my surprise he let me off with a warning and told me that he has pulled over other trailblazer drivers for speeding who in turn had the same or similar issues with their speedometers. i have had interior lights malfunction, and driver side head light malfunctions where the light keeps going out. the headlight was checked by a mechanic and was not deemed loose or blown. | |||

| Driving home from out of state and filled up the tank and the gas guage still read empty and was all over the place. it is not accurate and jumps around. during the drive i was on a road going 50mph and slowed down in a town to 30mph and the speedometer got stuck at 35mph and would not go up or down. i had a 3 hour commute and did not know how fast i was going to 80% of it. upon researching these issues, it appears to be a frequent issue in this vehicle and is rather expensive to fix, just to have it happen again a year later. this vehicle was previously owned by a family member and was well taken care of. | |||

| Own a 2005 chevy trail blazer all of a sudden the gas guage stopped working then i was driving home from out of state and went from 50 mph then into a town which was 30 mph and the speedometer got stuck at 36 mph and would not go up or down the rest of the trip. i did not know how fast i was going and got pulled over for speeding. this is an issue. both of these issues with the 2005 trail blazer seem to be happening to a lot of people among other issues within the dash. chevy really needs to make a recall because after paying $700 to fix the gas guage, it went out again less than a year later. i was also quoted over $500 to fix the speedometer. why hasn't there been a recall on this issue!? | |||

| Since june 2010, the fuel level gauge on my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer has not functioned properly. regardless of the actual fuel level, it reads at 1/4 tank or below, which causes me to rely on my trip odometer to estimate my current fuel levels. i have checked with the chevrolet dealerships, and they are charging between $500 - $800 to correct this problem! as the previous owner of two gm vehicles and the daughter and granddaughter of general motors retirees', i am sorely disappointed in general motors refusal to admit the failure of the fuel gauge system that has affected thousands of vehicles. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. about a year ago the gas gauge quit working. my understanding was that it would cost almost as much to replace the sensor as it would to replace the fuel pump. i continued driving the car using the trip mileage. i have run out of gas several times. the last couple of times i realized there was no way i could be out of gas yet. what is now happening is i cannot get more than a couple of gallons of gas in my car at any time. the mechanic says it is because the sensor is stuck and thinks it is fuller than it is. so now i cannot drive more than 20 miles or so before stopping for gas again. please do something about this!!!!! | |||

| I filled up my gas tank while it still had 1/4 tank of fuel. once i started the engine the gas gauge went to e with the light coming on while sitting at the gas station. the gauge then pinged from full to empty for the next few days then settling at full when i went up a steep bridge. since then the fuel gauge has continued to do this every time i fill the tank up. this is a saftey issue due to not knowing the fuel level in the tank. this should be fixed as i can see a lot of people all over the us have had the same issues. gm needs to recall this and fix the issue. my truck is out of warranty due to the years as well as the mileage of just 65,000 miles. this needs to be fixed. | |||

| I purchased a 2005 chevy trailblazer from a general motors dealer in 2009. shortly after the purchase our gas gauge started bouncing back and forth from full to empty. when i called the dealership repair center after a few words came out of my mouth the service manager say's oh thats a common problem and we can repair it for about $700 or sometimes it startes working again. i asked why it was not recalled if it's so common and he replied it's not up to us. i was so irritated that i never tried again. a couple of months later it started working fine, in fact i made a 3600 mile journey with no problem. tonight i was driving in rush hour traffic and the gauge went from 3/4 tank to zero and my vehicle shut down in the middle of traffic. aside from almost being rear ended my wife, daughter and i were almost ran over trying to push our vehicle out of the road to safety. i have not repaired or replaced any parts because i am looking for a good automotive attorney. | |||

| Everytime i fill up my gauge won't register. it's frustrating. i transfered out of state and to have to refuel every 200 miles isn't right. i am paying my hard earned money for this vehicle. i could have gotten an older vehicle without this problem. i was told the float needs to be replaced. i just put in a new transmission at 76,000 miles. i have 86,000 on it now. | |||

| The gas gauge on my 2005 chevy trailblazer has stopped working. it gradually stopped registering the actual gas. after filling the gas, it register empty. as i drove, the gas would register as full. eventually it stopped moving at all. this has been going on for a period of 6mos. i started filling the gas more often. after filling the gas, 2 days later, the vehicle shut off in the middle of the highway, causing a near traffic accident because there was no warning. clearly, i wasnt out of gas. i had just fill the gas and became accustomed to how far i could drive before i needed to refill. this was very dangerous. it is obvious a defect in the gas gauge. i wasn't sure until now after visiting this site that i am not alone. the speedometer has also stopped working. i'm sure if it is registering the mileage i drive. not knowing how fast i am driving is surely a safety issue. i visited my mechanic is was given an estimate of $500 to repair. surely it shouldn't take a death to rectify this issue. | |||

| Just recently when i filled up my tank it would show the fuel gauge as empty and my light would come on. about 50 to 75 miles later it would level out to be correct, but i would also reset my miles just to make sure. within the last 2 months it has completely stopped working. my gas light stays on all the time and i cannot get accurate mileage either. after resetting my mileage and driving i believed to have 75 miles left on my tank which was not true. it did not seem to be so much of a hassle until i broke down in the middle of town, because out of gas. it is extremely frustrating to learn it is a wide spread issue and that there has been no recall on this part yet. i am a mother of 4 children and for me to break down in the middle of town is a scary and uneasy thought. i rely on my vehicle to keep myself and family safe and this is something that is major that needs to be fixed. i have read other complaints and people who have fixed this issue themselves, but i believe since this is a large problem all over that it needs to be taken care of by gm. | |||

| The gas gage stopped working first followed buy the speedometer and then engine light goes off and on. i complained to gm was told this is natural wear and tear on the vehicle. i now have 110,000 miles on it but started soon after extended warranty ran out at 65,000 miles. i will have to continue driving with these defects don't have $550-$600 for each item. this is a saftey hazard and something should be done about it. | |||

| 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. | |||

| While driving, the gas gauge when from nearly full to empty, causing the low fuel warning light to come up. it then intermittently when from empty, back up to full, and then down to reading empty again. the vehicle was serviced with a full tank of gas the day prior and had only been driven for several short errands around town. this has occurred both times the vehicle was driven on aug 17th. today (aug 18th)we took the vehicle around the block for a test drive. it started out reading full tank. at about 30mph is dropped to empty. while sitting in the parking lot when getting home, the gauge was going up and down. an online search shows that the likely cause is the fuel sending unit. this is apparently a well-known issue with 2005 chevy trailblazers. there were also several reports of vehicles actually shutting off while driving due to the vehicle believing it was out of fuel when it was not. chevy refuses to acknowledge there is a problem, but is happy to take your $800 for the repair. another cause could be the stepper motor for the gauge, which from online research appears to be another known issue with the trailblazer that gm refuses to acknowledge. | |||

| While driving, the gas gauge when from nearly full to empty, causing the low fuel warning light to come up. it then intermittently when from empty, back up to full, and then down to reading empty again. the vehicle was serviced with a full tank of gas the day prior and had only been driven for several short errands around town. this has occurred both times the vehicle was driven on aug 17th. today (aug 18th)we took the vehicle around the block for a test drive. it started out reading full tank. at about 30mph is dropped to empty. while sitting in the parking lot when getting home, the gauge was going up and down. an online search shows that the likely cause is the fuel sending unit. this is apparently a well-known issue with 2005 chevy trailblazers. there were also several reports of vehicles actually shutting off while driving due to the vehicle believing it was out of fuel when it was not. chevy refuses to acknowledge there is a problem, but is happy to take your $800 for the repair. another cause could be the stepper motor for the gauge, which from online research appears to be another known issue with the trailblazer that gm refuses to acknowledge. | |||

| I own a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. recently, my gas gauge began acting up. it states that the gas tank is empty right after i fill up. it constantly readjusts itself. i never know exactly how much gas is in my car. it is a very frustrating problem and an expensive repair. extensive internet research shows that this is a problem for other trailblazer owners as well. i do not understand why gm has not recalled this. | |||

| Fuel gauge sensor on a 2005 trailblazer has gone out, fuel gauge reads empty at all time. this could potentially cause a serious accident especially if the vehicle were to run low on fuel at highway speeds and be hit by another car from behind. even more dangerous for those who may be using the vehicle to travel somewhere for medical attention. this is a known problem among gm vehicles and yet they have issued no recall as of yet. there is a website here; http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/chevrolet-trailblazer/tbdhfg6khcmspa4m1/p10 with over 200 trailblazer owners with the identical problem and i'm sure there are many many many more. | |||

| Chevy trailbazer 05... gas gauge keeps moving from low to empty back to full,sometimes it stays at empty.check engine light stays on. fuel sending unit keeps failing.unit was replaced in 2007 at dealership.sending unit has gone bad again.very expensive labor needed to fix this.when i fixed the first time i had warranty now it hax expired.i checked online and it seems like everyone with a chevy tailblazer is having the same problem also my..to my knowledge this is a completely defect of the car. my major fear is to run out of gas on the highway and my car to stall.leading to an accident.....also the instrument panel light keep getting darker..sometimes several lights come on. | |||

| 2005 chevy trailblazer gas light constantly on and showing empty. replacement will be between 700-1000 dollars for the fix. must use mileage to gauge when i need fuel. this has been this way since 2006. this seems to be a huge problem with this vehicle. thankfully, i have not had an accident or been rear-ended, but this needs to be investigated and fixed by chevy. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer and the fuel gauge does not work. for a brief peiod after fill ups, it would stick on empty and a chime would ding. eventually it would start to work. however, now it is completely not functioning. this creates a huge safety concern as one never knows the fuel level of the vehicle. i have done extensive search on the internet and this is a common problem in many chevy trailblazers. a local dealer said that it was a sensor and could cost between 800-1200 dollars. i think a recall is order since this is such a common problem. a simple google search 2005 chevy trailblazer fuel gauge problem is sufficent evidence to conclude that gm should recall this part. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. my fuel gauge no longer works. the only way i can track how much gas i have is by keeping up with my mileage. when i took it to my local dealer i was told that this was a very common problem in trailblazers and that it would cost $500-$600 to repair. when i did a quick search online i found hundreds and hundreds of other trailblazer owners with the same complaint! i believe this is a safety issue and want to know why this wasn't a recall! i got no assistance from the general motors and was only told to go through my dealer.dealer didn't care. one minute it says i have gas then the next, empty. | |||

| About 3 weeks ago, i stopped at a local gas station and filled up my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. when i crunk the truck, i noticed my gas light was on even after i fully fillled the stop. i was baffled by this knowing i'd just spent $50 for a fill-up and i had begin to think there may have possibly been something wrong with my gas tank. i searched and asked other trailblazer owners and learned that it's my fuel sensor that's the problem as they have experienced the same issue with their vehicle. this seem to be a issue with this make an model and i shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for chevrolet's problem. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer with a fuel problem. i think it's the fuel sending unit. the fuel gauge reads empty at all times even after afull fill up. when i googled this question the results i got were astounding at how many other people were having this same problem. i feel that if it were a once in awhile thing that happens no big deal but this seems to be a known problem with this vehicle. i have spoken to 3 different auto mechanics and even they say it crazy that's there's no recall on it as it a manufacturing problem. | |||

| I've had my 2005 trailblazer for 5 yrs now and the last 4 months the fuel gauge has been acting up. i fill it up and the gauge still reads empty. it takes a few days to finally get the reading right but after a day or so it goes back to empty. being in the military and having the vehicle as the primary for my wife and kids time is limited for her to take it while i am away overseas. my wife was and kids were stranded on the highway while roadside assistance came to finally came around with fuel. reading numerous complaints about the same problem with other chevy owners there should be a recall on the vehicle. this will be my last time purchasing a chevy. keeping track of mileage is rediculous, in todays economy purchasing a good product is priority one and it is a shame that a giant car company can admit that they have a problem on there hands. safety should be priority one!!!!! | |||

| 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. the fuel gauge stopped working without warning. *dt the consumer stated it didn't matter how much fuel was in the gas tank, the gauge read empty and the amber warning light and alarm intermittently engaged, even when the fuel tank was full. there was no way to accurately confirm how much fuel was in the vehicle at any given time. while enroute to the dealer, the consumer ran out of gas. the consumer finally made it to the dealer and upon inspection, the consumer was informed the fuel sensor was defective and needed to be replaced which required the gas tank to be removed from the vehicle. *jb | |||

| My 2005 chevrolet trailblazer ext. fuel sensor quit working at 32,000 miles. i have called and it is around $600 to fix. i do believe that this is a safety hazard because the fuel gauge sometimes reads all the way full or all the way empty or sometimes 1/4 tank and this could lead to me running out of gas at worst times. if i ran out of gas on the interstate or highway it could cause a major accident and result in a fatality or injuries. i did not know i could report such problems thats why i am doing it now instead of when it actually happened. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer that's warranty just expired. in the last several days after getting gas the gas sensor light and sound alert stays on even after i completely fill the tank. in researching the problem online i have found out that this is a widespread problem with this vehicle, and that it is very costly to repair. this vehicle is marketed and used as a family car, which is what my wife and i use it for. it is very risky to try to guess how much fuel you are using, not to mention the cost of fuel today. i have heard of several incidents of people running out of gas in risky situations like on the interstate. as a consumer i wish you would investigate this situation, and if it is as widespread as i am hearing, encourage the manufacturer to issue a recall for safety purposes. *tr | |||

| Fuel gauge has stopped working on my 2005 trailblazer - can only guess how much fuel i have left by using the trip odometer or checking my mileage. this is a complete (not to mention risky) pain in the butt. hundreds of us have complained to gm.. they take no action except to say we are sorry. what the heck? why should a known and reported defect in a vehicle not warrant attention by the manufacturer? what if one of the hundreds of us miscalculated our mileage use, running out of gas on a busy highway, and we cause an accident because gm wouldn't help the consumers fix the problem!?!? *tr | |||

| The fuel gauge went to empty about 3 months ago when i came out of the gas station after paying for the gas and filling up the tank. it was all of a sudden with that tank of gas, there were no signs of this previously. it always goes to empty when i fill the tank and the low level light comes on and stays on for about 50 miles then it goes to full and after another 100 miles or so goes back to empty when i know that it's not close to being empty. i find this being a safety concern if i were to run out of fuel with my family in the car on the freeway with no where to go. i have not replaced the fuel level sensor yet but i am planning on fixing gm's faulty product in the next couple weeks. i have also read a few consumer reports and this is a very common problem with these trailblazers. it would be nice for gm to recall this. *tr | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. i recently started having problems with the fuel gauge. it will show the tank is empty, even after filling it. i researched it online to see if others have this problem and have found many complaints about it. chevy says it's a problem with the sensor and has a repair kit for it, but charges over $500 for the kit plus labor. i along with many others use this vehicle to transport my children around, including my son with special needs to his monthly appointments at the children's hospital 200+ miles away. i myself have never run out of gas as this problem has just started in my car, but i know others who have. something needs to be done because people are running out of fuel (others have complained that this problem unresolved leads to the trip meter and speedometer to stop working also) and causing accidents & injuries. we trailblazer owners are hoping that enough complaints from owners and a little pressure from the nhtsa will cause chevy to do something about this problem!! please help us!! on average this problem seems to crop up around 60,000 miles. *tr | |||

| This seems to be a pervasive problem with recent models of chevy trailblazers; the fuel gauge goes up and down erratically when the vehicle is either low on fuel or is recently filled up. some sources indicate that the problem is with a faulty fuel pump sensor, which requires the gas tank to be removed and a sending unit sensor replaced. faulty equipment should be recalled, and not left for the chance that the problem will happen while still under warranty. *tr | |||

| Just want to address the gas gauge and speedometer issues. i have a 05 trailblazer and had both of these problems. fortunately i work with a great dealership and i purchased the extended warranty because gm would do nothing and the fixes are very expensive. you can live with the gas gauge not reading correctly by tracking your mileage but the stupid bell goes off all the time telling you your near empty but you cannot drive safely if you do not know how fast you are going and you certainly cannot go with the flow as everyone seems to drive faster than allowed and i do not think the officer who pulls you over will care if your speedometer does not work. i also notice that my interior panel lights will flash off and back on again, makes me think i am seeing things. i think gm needs to find answers and fix these problems. i love my tb but it just seems like a lemon and i will look at something different when i purchase again. *tr | |||

| When my mileage on my 2005 chevy trailblazer was approximately 50,000, the fuel gauge suddenly stopped working and reads that there is an empty tank despite being filled to capacity. from my understanding, this is a systemic fault with the fuel sending unit in the 2005-06 chevy trailblazer models that has the potential of putting consumers at great risk due to the potential of running out of gas on expressways, highways, etc. and, as a result of an unexpected loss of mobility, being unnecessarily subject to imminent personal harm from other vehicles. i have lodged a personal complaint with gm and understand that they are aware of this defect in the fuel sending unit as being a system problem, but have failed to issue any voluntary recall of the part. due to the individual cost of approximately $800 for a consumer to procure this repair (which almost always seems to occur when these vehicles have surpassed 40,000 miles and are therefore outside of the warranty period), i believe it is very likely that a sufficient number of those consumers affected by this part failure, especially in the current economic climate, will be financially unable to afford the cost of repairing this defective part on their own and will, accordingly, be suject to unnecessary and substantial risk given the potential for them to find their vehicles out of gas without any warning whatsoever. moreover, the potential for collisions due to the sudden deceleration or stranded vehicles on the roadways also poses a substantial threat to other drivers that is entirely unecessary and extremely dangerous. | |||

| 05 chevrolet trailblazer fuel gauge shifts back and forth between empty and half a tank. it started doing this at about 60000 miles. we never know how much gas we have in the tank, and have to set the trip meter every time we fill up. i know several people with the same problem in their trailblazers. we need a recall!! | |||

| 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. | |||

| Purchased my veh in 2006 and soon after this my fuel gauge stopped working. had it replaced by a local repair center. a few months after this the fuel gauge stopped working and had the repair center inspect the vehicle and they informed me that in both instances the fuel sending unit had gone bad. they informed me that the whole unit needed to be replaced at a cost of appoximately $600. i opted to replace the unit my self after purchasing the unit from a chevrolet dealership for half the price. now my fuel gauge has gone bad for a third time and now have to replace the whole unit. after doing some reasearch online, i find that my vehicle is not the only one with this problem and gm is not doing anything to assist their customers. | |||

| Vehicle started by failure of the fuel guage. it shows empty even though i have just filled up with gas. this occurs every time i fill up. then the oil light has gone haywire, and fails to reset itself, it points down to the bottom of the guage. now my speedometer will without warning stop working and freeze on a certain number, then go down to below zero and not work at all. this has caused me to not know how fast i was going at times. after turning off the vehicle it resets itself, but then happens again the next time. i have taken the vehicle to the shop several times and have been told that it is the instrument panel. i have read several complaints all over the internet and from friends who have the same vehicle. this is not something that is unique to my car. this is a serious problem and can cause accidents and people stranded if it is not fixed, or if gm does not look into this issue. | |||

| My fuel guage completely stopped working. the highest it would go was 1/4 tank of gas after putting in $70 worth of gas. and that fluctuated everyday. one moment it would have 1/4 then nothing. i had to use my trip meter until i had the money to have it fixed. according to the dealer the fuel sensor shorted. i know that my car is a 2005 with 87k miles, but this should not happen. there are so many complaints out there, i am shocked there is no recall yet. are we waiting for someone to get seriously hurt? | |||

| Gas gauge sensor defective in my 2005 chevy trailblazer. has been replaced twice. safety issue; i have personally ran out of gas because of this. replaced once while under warranty, replaced again 6/28 out of pocket cost because warranty no longer valid. after researching online and talking to other trailblazer owners, this problem is pretty common and believed to be a defect with the vehicle. | |||

| My 2005 chevy trailblazer has suddenly stopped tracking the fuel amount, it has caused me to not know the amount of gas in the vehicle, i have also done research on the issue and many trailblazer owners have the same issue. to have my vehicle suddenly stop is inconvient and dangerous, especially when i am traveling on the interstate. | |||

| Gas gage on my 2005 chevy trailblazer is defective. itstopped working at 55000 miles and the checy dealership wants over $600 to replace. i've been reading up on this and have found that this is happening all over to a lot of owners. i have no way to know how much fuel i have and have ran out on the interstate in the middle of winter 4 miles from nearest town with little cell phone coverage. only way i can guestimate when to put fuel in is by going by the trip odometer. i commute over 400 miles weekly on the interstate but can't afford a $600 repair bill for something i feel should be recalled. | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. the fuel gauge keeps showing empty when the tank is full. i almost got into and accident on the beltway today because my car just shut off of the highway. luckily i was able to glide to the side of the road without killing anyone or myself. some friends from work brought me some gas which got me home as soon as i was a block away from my house the car shut off again. again i had to refuel just to get to the complex where i live. i had my two children in the car and only god knows what could happen if i just shut down and i have a speeder behind me. i have seen many other chevy owners voicing their complaints about this same issue. i hope that someone does not have to die for them to do something about it like the toyota delears. is their anyway that chevy can be held accountable for these defects. concerned parent. | |||

| I have a 2005 trailblazer ls. my fuel guage is reading incurrectly, despite filling my tank full with gas the dial goes back to empty. the dial on the guage moves some times but mostly either remains on empty and nevers read the correct amount of gas. this has happened to me before about 3 years ago while i had my extended warranty, not to mention my friend had the same issue with her trailblazer and gave the whole truck back. needless to say i have family and the last thing i need to happen is to run out of gas because i can't tell how much gas is in my truck | |||

| On 3-18-2010 we purchased a 2005 chevy trailblazer from a dealership. upon driving it home, we noticed the gas gauge was almost to empty. within a few miles the gas light came on. we stopped and got gas but the tank was not empty. the gas gauge continues to bounce around from full to empty many times during regular driving. this obviously needs to be a recall and stop letting consumers pay $600-$1000 to fix a problem with the part. | |||

| The fuel gauge of our 2005 chevrolet trailblazer, fluctuates and seldom gives an accurate reading. on one particular day while my wife was on her way to work, the vehicle ran out of fuel while reading a quarter of a tank. she was on a 2 lane road that is posted at 55 mph and was nearly rear-ended. this seems to be a major and expensive problem with many gm vehicles. it is a matter of time before this problem results in a fatality whether directly or indirectly. *tr | |||

| Recently, the gas gauge on my 2005 chevy trailblazer quit working. i filled up, and the gauge set at empty until i had drive 10-15 miles. until then, the empty light would stay on and the miles left shows none which renders that alernate solution unusable. the only thing that works close enough to let me determine if i need to fill up again is the trip a feature. i can guess how many miles i normally go before a fill up.. but who's to say that is working right either? the improper functioning of this element of my vehicle is not only a pain in the backside, but also could be detrimental to the safety of myself and my child if the car were to run out of gas while traveling down the highway. i have found forums recently wherein many customers of gm are having the same difficulty with the same make and model. we are all frustrated to say the least. i have heard there were recalls for this issue prior to 2004 - seems gm didn't get it right after that time. how about a recall now? *tr | |||

| Massive electrical problems with chevy trailblazer 1. while going 10 miles an hour, the speedometer jumps to 120mph then to 50mph then to 120mph again. 2. when i fill up with gas, the gas gauge states that the tank is still empty then moves to full then to a 1/4 then to full then to half etc... 3. while driving at night, my headlights go highbeam to low beam as if i am manually flashing my lights at other cars. i have read on the internet where this is happening to many many people with this same model of chevrolet suv and that gm refuses to do anything about this. -i called gm and advised them of the entire issue. they advised me to go to a dealership and have them run a diagnostic as this was needed before they could help me. -i went to the dealer and paid $115 for the diagnostic, needless to say the repairs that the dealer found ranger over $3000.00 dollars. -i then called gm back and they took the information that the dealer gave me (donna at 1-866-790-5700 x21153) -i just got a call back from gm stating that because of the mileage on the suv that they were not going to do anything (they knew about the mileage before they sent me to the dealership!). so i wasted $115 dollars for something that was not needed by gm, and the fact that they knew about the mileage to start off with is a way to let the dealer make some money off the consumer. *tr | |||

| I own a 2005 trailblazer. its a great vehicle but problem's of great concern have risen. i would like to petition to have chevrolet to display a campaign for the recall and correction of a fuel gage problem which myself and many,many trailblazer owners are having. it involves the fuel gage not functioning properly displaying empty and or a variety of levels of the fuel tank. the amount of complaints which i have found on the internet of trailblazer owners should warrant an action from chevrolet to repair the problem with no costs to the owners of these vehicles. please investigate and you will see the situation. i hope an action to correct is the responsibility of chevrolet because it is definitely an design issue. why do the owners have to pay something that is not functioning properly and definitely an issue from the manufacturer. the other issue is very serious. the doors lock automatically when the vehicle is not in drive or the engine is running. case in point, my wife stopped at the service station to fill up with fuel,left the keys in the ignition close the door and started to fuel up. part way in the filling as she stood there outside of the vehicle,her purse inside on the seat and the doors locked on their own. she then had to barrow someone's cell phone to call on-star to unlock the doors. i did not think much on it and thought she had did something to trigger the action. well one day i was in the sitting truck and waiting for my wife. i have the key in the ignition,the engine not running and then the doors locked by themselves. i did nothing to trigger this. now i believe there is something very wrong. this locking by themselves will be very serious if a mother has an child or infant inside the vehicle and he or she is possibly getting fuel or something. what if this happened and the child or infant started choking or convulsions or a very hot day and help is many minutes away. does chevrolet not care? *tr | |||
