| While waiting in line of a car wash my chevy trailblazer shut off and a strong smell of gas filled the vehicle while what appeared to be gas leaked from under the driver seat. after doing some reading on the issue i'm discovering this is happening regularly to chevrolet vehicles and recalls are not being made. had we been on the highway or a busy street where people constantly flick cigarettes out the window, this could have played out differently. i understand that it can be costly to have a recall but my whole family was in the suv and from the sound of it so were other family's. i have had no major problems with my vehicle and very upset that this is a problem that could have been avoided and cost less if a recall had been issued. i will never buy another chevrolet for not valuing their customers! | |||

| Refueled with gas and gauge did not go up. ever since, gauge does not show proper level of gas in tank. got a letter from gm but they want me to pay half to repair it which total cost is $266.00 my cost is $133.00 gm knows this is a problem and should offer a total recall instead of a rip-off of 50-50 to the customer. *tr | |||

| In 2007 i paid off my vehicle and now became the proud owner of my truck. in 2009, i noticed some problems with my truck. first, the gas gauge would say f full, but really it was on e empty. then the mileage gauge ? i can be on the expressway going as fast as the other cars, but my car reads 20 mph. this is crazy!!!! i called at 800-number for gmc and was informed that there was no recalls or any others calls for the 2005 trailblazer, which i knew was a huge lie!!!! i decided to go on line and google the make and model of my car. wow? guesses what i seen? there were over 41,000 people who have the same problems that i had for their 2005 trailblazer. again, the problem with my truck has gotten worst. in 2010, i called again and was informed that their still wasn't any other calls or concerns with my truck and that i should take it to an authorize chevy dealership. well, i did .. . in 2011, i called again.. same script same story!!! i received a letter for a emission test for my car. well, let me tell you when i took my vehicle up to the emission testing it failed!!! . i got an estimate cost of $ 1900, plus they found 3 additional codes. . well, i got a 2008 chevy impala. i went from paying no car note, to $381.00 a month note. the week of september 4th, 2011.. i receive a letter from chevrolet addressing the issues with the 2005 chevy trailblazers, and offering 50% on repairs for the same problems that i have been calling on for 2 years.

| I was refueling on gas, when i started that truck back up, my fuel indicator light came on stating that the truck was empty of fuel. now mind you i just placed $44.50 into the gas tank which at the time the gas pump click to let me know the tank was full of fuel. it took about 2 days for the fuel indicator to show the correct amount of fuel in the truck. now ever time i fill up the fuel indicator light states it is empty after turning the truck back on and off on the fourth time then the indicator light will shut off and fuel gauge will show that correct amount of gas. *tr | |||

| When my gas gauge stopped working, it showed i had fuel in my tank, turns out i did not. i ran out of gas while on an interstate in maine..in the dead of winter, at night, on icy roads, traveling at approx 35 miles an hour. as all of you know, when you run out of fuel, the power steering & braking shut down and the vehicle can be very difficult to maneuver as well as very dangerous... especially on icy roads in maine in january. i am a young lady and happened to be all alone when this occurred and not to mention i was about 15 miles away from the nearest gas station.. so needless to say i was not happy. i wasn't about to hike the interstate, by myself in freezing cold weather at night.. i do not have a death wish. although i had to sit in my vehicle, where i had no heat, due to no fuel, and wait for over an hour for my dad to come rescue me. this is not right, and it is not the consumers fault, this needs to be addressed by gm, because as you've heard by me, and many others, it's a huge safety issue, and they need to fix this problem. some of these complaints go back into 2007, it's now 2012.. what are you waiting for?? fatal accidents because of your stupidity? make it right gm. you have not heard the last of this... *tr | |||

| After filling up my 2005 trailblazer, my gas needle went to empty and the light came on. the next morning my gas gauge was on full but then it started moving intermittently and has not stopped since. i am never sure how much gas i have and do not have the money to pay for repairs. after reading all the complaints from other people who also have a 2005 trailblazer, it seems there should be a recall from gm. they are offering a deal as they call it where they will replace the fuel sensor if you have less than 120,000 miles but you still half to pay for half of the repair and gm will pay the other half. this is not a deal, it should be covered by gm at 100%! | |||

| Gas gauge stopped working then would operate intermittently although incorrectly. researched this issue on the internet and found that this was a common problem for 2005 trailblazers. contacted dealership and found there is a special secret policy covering this problem. i have included the response from the service department: i hope you are having a great day. i do see that your vehicle does fall under the special policy 10054 which extends the warranty with a 50/50 split until 3/30/2016 or 120,000 miles on the fuel level sensor. if the issue you are experiencing is being caused by the sensor gm would pay for half the repair and you would be responsible for the other 50% of the cost which your portion would be around $200-$250.00. we would have to diagnose the issue first but if the cause is the sensor covered by the special policy you would only owe the aforementioned 50% of the repair. if you would like to set an appointment you can either reply to this email or call us direct at 414-425-7180. if you should have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to let me know. they want $99 for a diagnosis to determine if i qualify for a 50/50 split on repairs for their design problem. this is a ripoff. *tr | |||

| There is a chevrolet issue with the gas gauges that chevrolet will not take full responsibility for. they are asking customers to pay 1/2 which can cost us to $300 or more for the customer. the gas gauge is registering full then empty without notice. the gauge lights up empty even when the tank is full. we never know how much gas is in the car. i have scheduled an appointment to have this fixed but chevrolet is not covering the entire cost and this is truly a manufacturer recall. | |||

| While driving on the highway the other day my gas gauge in my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer showed that my gas tank was in between half and quarter tank of gas. i was going approx 60-65 mph on the highway and the vehicle stalls due to being out of gas!!!! i get it towed to a gas station and fill it up when i start my car now it shows that there is no gas in the car when i just filled the tank. this is a major problem as i had my young child in the vehicle with me when the stall on the highway occurred. not a happy person these days!! | |||

| On or about november 12, 2010 the vehicle owner had the instrument panel replaced. shortly after replacing the instrument panel at a cost of approximately $550 the gas sensor stopped working. the owner complained to the chevy service department but was told that this was a separate issue and not caused by the replacement of the instrument panel. the owner checked for recalls on the internet but found more complaints for the same issue but no manufacture recall or data on either the instrument panel or gas senor/gauge. since the gas sensor/gauge/fuel level indicator does not work the vehicle owners have run out of gas at least 3 separate times. 1). a friday night at 10:00 p.m. on a dark winding road; 2). on a very busy 4-lane thorough fare both vehicle owners and a passenger ran out of gas at a stop light; 3). most recently was approximately 3-weeks ago. there's no way to know when the gas tank is full or running low on fuel because the low gas fuel light stays on most of the time or when the owners do fill-up the tank the gas gauge remains e. the owners were quoted the cost of repair would be upwards of $500+. | |||
