| I bought a 2006 chevy trailblazer in january 2009. once i reached about 40,000 miles, i stopped to get gas and after i filled up, my light indicating i needed gas came on (it was not on prior to getting gas). i knew i had gas so i kept driving; my engine light then came on. both of them have now been on for over a year. in order to replace the sensor, i need a $500 part! i keep track of my mileage and fill up every 250 miles. last week, my car just shut down, while traveling down a hill with my two children, i was apparently out of gas. we nearly crashed into multiple vehicles! i have seen that there are hundreds of the same problems in this vehicle and i believe it should definitely be recalled. i learned what can happen when someone thinks there is gas in the tank and there is not... i had to turn on my 4 ways and honk the horn because i had no brakes, no steering, etc... i had to use my emergency brake to stop and had to tell my 10 year old to hang on and cover his 2 year old brother!!! the fact that chevy has been made aware of this and done nothing makes me sick! my entire family was in danger... thank you! | |||
