Fuel gauge stopped working. *js
I filled my gas tank full and it then the gas light comes on. i am having to keep track of my miles so that i don't run out of gas because the fuel needle keeps going up and down, not reading accurately. now every single time that i put gas in this happens. very frustrating, especially when i want to travel out of town and you are not sure when you'll see the next gas station. are there any recalls on this? *js *kb
We ran out of gas on the highway 20 miles from a gas station with kids in the car. the gas gauge in our 05 chevy trailblazer was wrong and indicated we had gas in the tank. *kb
We are experiencing a defective gas gauge--it registers empty or it may move up a bit or go down some. we are unable to determine how much fuel we actually have. i go on a trip of 350 miles one way every month to visit my mother and it is a constant worry. i am so afraid i will run out of gas on the turnpike--we just never know. we did get a letter from gm saying they were aware of the problem-interestingly enough, though they will not pay to have this dangerous situation affecting hundreds of thousands of vehicles fixed--only half, which we feel is unfair. this is a problem affecting a great number of people, simply by the fact they sent the letter--they need to make it right by paying for the whole remedy before someone is killed as a result of this faulty gas gauge. we would like to be a part of a class action suit against gm for the full payment. *kb
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. *kb
Fuel sensor has to be replace again (2nd time). *kb

Faulty fuel guage reading, vehicle stall. *tr
Gas gauge quit working. stepper motor replaced, suspected fuel sensor malfunction. seems to be a very common defect in these vehicles. *kb
The gas gauge on my 2005 chev.trail blazer always reads empty even if i fill it. it has been faulty for over 2 years. i have on 4 different occasions run out of fuel. when contacting a dealership they said it was not covered under warranty and would be roughly $900 to fix. the vehicle will read empty all the time causing stalling with no re start. *tr

I had the same issue with my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer as document dp10001. i took it to the dealer who installed a new fuel sensor kit, gm part # 19178477. *tr
The fuel gauge began to be inaccurate. it would occasionally work but not consistently. after about 2 months the gauge stopped working completely. the problem was the sensor in the gas tank malfunctioned and needed replaced. once the sensor replaced the gas gauge works accurately. the cost of the replacement was $465. *kb
I drive a 2005 chevrolet trail blazer. the gas gauge is wildly inaccurate. in fact, when i was driving the vehicle, i ran out of gas. it was in the evening during the cold michigan winter and i had my 6 month old daughter with me in her car seat. the gauge does not provide me with an accurate idea of how much fuel is left in the tank and i am forced to either use my odometer or just make an educated guess. this is a safety hazard which needs to be addressed. *tr
