Immediately after filling the gas tank the gas gauge went from showing a full tank to showing empty and the gas light came on. after a few miles the gas gauge was showing a half tank. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was advised that the fuel level sensor could potentially fail prematurely. the manufacturer was made aware of the concern. the failure and current mileage was 48,000. updated 08/14/14*lj updated 8/29/2017*cn

The fuel gauge malfunctions after filling tank - it reads empty immediately and intermittently thereafter at any fuel level. it makes it difficult for traveling any long distance as you are not quite sure how much fuel is available or if it will shut down on me during a difficult situation. we have contacted gm and they want to charge me to check it and this has been reported as a problem for multiple models to gm. this is very scary as i travel long distances to and from work each day - i feel that this puts me in harms way. i don't believe that i should pay to a defective part that gm knows about but doesn't acknowledge. *tr

I just purchased this vehicle yesterday from a dealership. they filled the gas tank up before i drove it off the lot because, they said, "the gas gauge isn't working." i was looking up what it could be and noticed there was a lot of people with complaints of this, 668 people. i suppose i'm the 669th person. there wasn't a recall that i could find, but investigations were being done? *tr

Approximately 5 or 6 months ago i started noticing when i would fill my tank, the fuel gauge would not register full. i took my car to the dealership and they told me it was the fuel sensor that wasn't working. they told me it would be $600 for a new one. i couldn't afford that, so now i use my mileage indicator as to when i fill up. *tr

Vehicle's headlamps will power surge, dim while driving periodically. fuel sensor showed constant empty until repaired by the recall. vehicle will occasionally surge forward revving on it's own at random times. the blower resistor pack has burnt up twice, the blower motor has been replaced as well as the melted wires.now the vehicle will not start. the power windows, locks, radio, dome lights, dash lights are inoperative and the vehicle will not attempt to turn over. seems like this vehicle has had a lot of electrical issues. *tr

After filling up with gas and restarting the engine i heard a "ding" followed by gas empty light indicator. the suv will now not move off of "e" and the empty light indicator will not go off either. *tr

Fuel gauge pegged out past full then returned to empty. it has not been correct since. mechanics i have talked to said this is an ongoing problem with the trailblazers. i think there should be a recall issued for the problem. i noticed on the nhtsa website that there have been over 600 complaints filed. this could be a real problem and could possibly be a real safety hazard to families. suppose you run out of fuel going down the interstate at 70 mph and you run out of fuel and can't get to the emergency lane, someone could possibly rear-end you because you can't get over. i think this should be fixed at gm's cost. *tr

My fuel gauge reads empty after i fill the tank with fuel. after driving some duration of time the tank will only read a quarter of a tank full. i find this to be a hazard because i travel for long distance trips and you are unable to get an accurate reading of the amount of fuel that is in your tank. i have read this to be an issue on multiple different websites with the same make and model and i believe that gmc should offer to pay full price and fix the issue because it appears to be a defect. *js

My 2005 chevrolet trailblazer shows empty when vehicle is filled up, this lasts until close to a quarter tank has been used; frequency: 100% of the time. contacted prior owner and he confirmed it had been doing it off and on since 2 year of ownership but dealer could not duplicate. took to chevrolet dealership for diagnostic and was told its the fuel sending unit, a common problem in my year in particular. vehicle also is beginning to have issues with showing correct fuel left when it drops below a quarter tank, it does not drop consistently which would lead to my running out of gas if i trusted it, to date i fill before it gets to a quarter tank to avoid the problem. *tr

Driver side master power window switch does not work the driver side window at all! out of the blue this stopped working. further research shows that the 2006-2007 models were recalled not the 2005! really, this car is "currently registered in a cold weather state which uses salt to clear the roads" (direct quote from general motors and isuzu recall 258,000 suvs, the associated press, august 19, 2012) since 12/2005 which is when the vehicle was purchased. just because my vehicle did not have a fire "yet" but i have the "exact" problem which arose before these vehicles did catch fire, mine is not recalled? not only was the transmission recalled in 2008, i had a problem with the "blower motor" not working when you turn on the heat. you could only turn on the heat to no. 4. the truck was taken for service on 1/10/06, 1/30/06, 2/7/06 and 2/17/06 which was not even 2 mo. after purchasing said vehicle before the problem was corrected. in 11/06 the "fuel pump module" was replaced and covered "only" because i had the extended warranty and i had to pay the $100.00 deductible, because i had ...

2005 chevrolet trailblazer. consumer writes in regards to vehicle fuel gauge sensor issues. *smd the consumer state the first time the fuel gauge starting acting erratic was in 2007. the dealer informed his wife, the vehicle had ran out of gas, even though the gauge indicated there was 1/2 tank of gas. the consumer stated he continues to experience an erratic behavior of the fuel pump and the low fuel indicator light illuminated. the latest preliminary diagnosis was the vehicle was unable to sustain an idle, because of the erratic fuel pressure (fuel pump). the consumer also stated the vehicle has electrical problems and the oil pressure gauge was inoperative.

Fuel gauge reads empty when car is filled and the needle only moves a little..i never can tell how much gas there is. *tr

The fuel gauge reads empty when there is plenty of gas in the tank. it sometimes read full when there is little gas left. *tr
