2003 chevrolet trailblazer. fuel sensor has gone out. the failure was not caused by anything done by the consumer. my fuel gauge constantly reads empty and is no accurate. i talked with the dealership, and even though other vehicles with the same equipment have had recalls issued, they have not issued one for the trailblazer. i know several people who have the exact same problems with their trailblazers (2003 - 2006 models) and it costs approximately $800 to get it fixed at the dealership. *tr

Chevrolet 2003 trailblazer: noticed a large puddle in driveway, which was gasoline. started suv up and the gas just poured out of the vehicle. i was afraid to drive it, but knew i had to do something. i drove it to the nearest repair station, wherein, after inspection it was found to be rotted supply and return lines on fuel pump module. the repair station removed the remaining fuel from the fuel tank; replaced fuel pump module; reinstalled fuel tank; reinstalled fuel. at a total cost of $778.14 used. i am a gm retiree after 33 years of service, and would like to be reimbursed for said amount of money. thank you for your consideration in this expensive matter. *ak

When fueling my 2003 chevy trail blazer, gas has overflowed a minimum of (4) times since november of 2003 (when i purchased the vehicle). two of those times gas sprayed back onto my hand. i had the vehicle into the dealer in late november 2003. they said that chevrolet knows about the problem, is working on it, and will issue a recall when they have a solution. *ak
