I can't tell if my tank is full or empty
My speedometer stopped working my gas gaige stopped working and my odometer went out cant see the milelage and i dont know how much gas is in the take,and the speed is mot working.i remember a recall awhile ago if you had the problem they said and i didnt at that time i think it was 2011
The fuel level sensor is a very common problem. the tank is filled full but it will always read empty. i already have a refurbished cluster so it will not be the cluster's fault. gm needs to recall the fuel level sensor to be fixed to avoid accidents on the road.
My gas gauge quit working, so i never know exactly how much fuel i have.
The gas gauge is not working and the fuel light stays on even when the tank is full of gas. vehicle was stationary at a gas station when fuel gauge malfunctioned.
The gas gauge stays on empty every once inawhile it will move but goes right back to e
Fuel gauge sensor not working properly. when fueling up, the gas gauge falls to 0, after turning the vehicle on and the low fuel sensor light comes on and dings. after a few miles the gauge goes to 1/4 of a tank indicating there is gas, but not indicative of actually what is in the tank. i have tried to reset my tripometer every time i fuel up, and then stop at the gas station and refuel every 240 miles. however this past weekend i ran out of fuel and the vehicle came to a stop on a major highway. i know now that this is also unreliable and will make it a point to stop at every 200 miles.
Fuel gauge always shows empty, not working. no way to know how much gas is in the car. oil gauge not working.
Fuel gauge was on 1/2 tank. i went to the gas station to fill it up and all of a sudden the gauge meter went to the left and read "empty" and the low fuel light came on even though i had a full tank of gas. i restarted the truck and the fuel gauge meter still read low (less than a 1/4 tank), it eventually returned the to the 1/2 gauge/meter mark. car was stationery at the gas station at time of the incident, then i eventually drove off at low speed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. the contact stated that the fuel gauge displayed inaccurate fuel amounts. after filling the fuel tank with fuel, the fuel gauge displayed that the tank was empty. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 73,000.
Car will not accelerate. revs up really high without acceleration.
I went to the gas station and filled up my tank. i started my car and the gauge was not at the fill line. the gauge just bounced up and down and then went below the empty mark making the chime go off and the car red "fuel is low". this was on a secondary city street.
Fuel gauge is not working properly. i checked with dealer and the nhtsa website about this issue. the problem is that gm will not honor the service bulletin. according to gm i was mailed out a service notice on my vehicle in 2011 which i never received. # 10041526 . i checked with the gmc dealer about this service bulletin and the they told me to bring my vehicle in for repairs. well the dealer called and told me that my vehicle was out of the parameters for a cost free repair. i bought this vehicle brand new back and 2005 and i have kept up with the repairs and maintenance. the dealership i have this serviced at over the years never did any repairs on this service bulletin. i am a oif army veteran and i can not currently afford this $900 repair. i told customer service at chevy about this and all they offered was a chevy loyalty car. really your kidding me?
My gas gauge reads empty all the time even after a fill up. it never moves. also i have replaced shocks and struts all the way around the vehical but every time you hit a bump in the road it shakes you from side to side really hard.
Fuel gage is not showing the fuel level , so it looks like its empty all the time automatic air bag passenger sensing system is malfunctioning and on windshield urethane bead may not have adhered to the body in certain areas during the cure process.
I noticed my battery guage quit. then after starting my truck a few different times, the gas guage read differently. then my speedometer wduld stick on 100 when i was doing approximatly 60. then the speedometer would not work at all. there needs to be a recall on it. my friend has a 2005 also and her cluster pannel went out too. its a 400.00 repair. this has happened to quite a few 2005 chevrolet trailblazers from what ive read online. come on general motors. you need to recall these models.
Lights go out/dim while driving. no additional electrical items in use-heater, ac, gps, radio, cigarette lighter. does not appear to be affected or caused by speed, acceleration, deceleration. fule tank will sometimes register empty while mostly full. do not notice problem during daylight driving.
I bought this car at the end of march of this year with under 100,000 miles. the first thing to go was the gas gauge, about 2 months after i bought the trail blazer the needle went south. it actually hovers around 6 0 ' clock. then a couple nights ago driving home i had the cruise control on, i took it with the hand button and looked down and the needle never moved, it was stuck at 65. it's been 3 days and the needle has moved but the wrong way, to the right going up 75, 80, 90, then back down to 65 and staying there. i have looked into replacing the gas gauge and i was told the entire dash would have to be done at a price of 1200.00, i should not have to do this, chevrolet should be held responsible. *tr
On may 3, 2014, i filled the gas tank up, and began to exit the gas station. the fuel gauge showed less gas in the tank then when i began fueling. after several miles the gas gauge showed slightly more gas, but was still not providing an accurate reading. after shutting down the vehicle i checked the gas gauge, and it was still not working properly. i've been reviewing online complaints through the nhtsa website, and this appears to be an ongoing problem with the 2005 chevy trailblazers resulting in accidents. i'm very grateful. i observed the problem before stalling in an intersection or other dangerous location with my three small children in the vehicle. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. after refueling the vehicle, the fuel gauge failed to provide an accurate reading. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 78,000.
Cluster gauges are going out. the speedometer quick working a few years ago and is intermittent at best on a daily basis. it either indicates a lesser or greater speed than actual or just falls to point straight down. i have been using a mounted gps to indicate speed. initial repair cost estimates were $500+ for the parts since they will only replace the entire gauge cluster. with labor, the estimate was in excess of $800. fuel gauge is now inoperative or intermittent. when i fill the tank, the fuel gauge reads way past the full line. having to rely of the fuel to empty and the fuel used computer information along with the trip meter to estimate fuel. received another estimate for a mechanic to pull the gauge cluster and rebuild each individual gauge motor for an estimate of $500. based upon the number similar complaints on this same thing, this appears to be a manufacturing defect that needs to be corrected by gm. *tr
While sitting at a stop light, the fuel gauge stopped working. the gauge went all the way down to "e" and the low fuel level indicator appeared on the display. now when i fill up the tank, the gauge reads empty and after i drive about 20-30 miles it will move up to about 1/4 tank but no higher and sometimes it will still move back to empty that slowly move back up. also sometimes the oil pressure indicator will drop all the way down while idling or in park and the low pressure indicator will appear, but as soon as the gas is pressed, the pressure will go back to normal. also, about 1 1/2 years ago, the keyless entry/alarm/back liftgate lock and license plate light all stopped working simultaneously. i was told that it is probably a grounding wire issue but not definitive. now my liftgate will not lock at all. *tr
Vehicle fuel gauge stopped working when i turned off the vehicle. *tr
Gas gauge registers empty regardless of amount of gasoline in tank.
Nov.2013 was the frist time we had a proplem, right after that the oil gauge was not working. on an off we have noticed other type of problem that seem to be electrical. for the last year \year an half my gas is all over the place, always stopping to get gas as not to give out. also, my gear and mileage gauge does not work. now have no idea when to change the oil or rotate tires
We were driving on interstate 94 in north dakota and we heard a pop. by the time we pulled over there were flames up to the window on the drivers door. we quickly got out. vehicle is a total loss. this should not happen. date of accident was 10/31/2014. *tr
Everytime i fill up my truck my gas needle go to empty . now it's stay on empty.. i had ran out of gas twice . the first time i ran out of gas i was in columbus,ohio . i had an 1998 blazer and i had to get an new fuel pump cause the gas gauge was in the fuel pump . something need to be done about this. *tr
After filing the gas tank, the check engine light and low fuel light came on and the fuel gauge registered empty within minutes of leaving the gas station. it has continued to be malfunctioning like this off and on over the last month. *tr i have heard of 2 other people i know, with the same make, model, and year vehicle with the same problem. is this a recurring problem nationwide with other owners of this vehicle? *tr
Fuel gauge says empty no matter how much fuel you put in also abs/brake service indicator light comes on. *tr
Fuel sensor seems to be failing as is with many other problems with the electrical system on this car including a broken speedometer at 60,000 miles. this car seems to have far too many sensor or electrical issues and given the safety implications of speedometers that suddenly fail and fuel sensors that fail, it would seem prudent for someone to realize that these issues pose a severe safety hazard to all. after research on the internet, speedometers and fuel sensors seem to be a common issue with trailblazers. please research the electrical system and sensors more closely. *tr
Gas gauge does not read correctly, light stays on even after a full tank of gas. *tr
Driving down man o war boulevard in lexington, ky - all of a sudden the gas gauge stopped working and went to empty. i called gm regarding this issue and they told me that they would not cover repairs for this defect. since then i've ran out of gas with all 3 of my children in the car while moving at least 45 mph down the road causing cars behind me to slam on their brakes. this in my opinion is a safety issue. it was their mistake and chevrolet should pay for the repairs to correct it. *tr
The fuel gauge in my vehicle stopped working. i did some research and this seems like a common problem to trailblazers that gm is ignoring. running out of fuel can be very dangerous especially on busy highways. so i think this should be a safety issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. *tr
I filled up my car and the fuel indicator went to empty. now, sometimes it registers some fuel but not where it should be. it usually stays on e. this is a safety hazard because you don't know how much fuel you have. after reading the complaints seems this is a problem with most trailblazers. the wheel hubs and bearings have also went gone since this happened the parts place says this is also a problem with trailblazers. *tr
I had just filled up my suv, and while on the highway, my fuel gauge started dropping within a minutes time, to 3/4 tank, 1/2 tank, 1/4 tank, then the fuel light came on and stated i was on empty. i didn't smell gasoline, but the gauge then started going back up, then down and went haywire. after some of the gas was used, it went back up to almost full, but after a bit, it dropped back down to half tank again. every subsequent time i fill up, the gauge does the same thing. another incident that has been happening for the last few years is the head lights dim and get brighter. this doesn't happen all the time, but at least three times a week. i didn't think too much about it until i saw other complaints on this website about the same thing. *tr
Filled up gas tank only to find that it was reading empty. fluctuated between empty and 1/4 tank. ran out of gas with children in vehicle at one point in very bad weather. finally able to save $450.00 to have it fixed. is it true that gm will pay for half of the repair bill? very upset with general motors!! *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. the contact stated that the fuel tank displayed a fuel level reading of empty after refueling to capacity. the fuel sensor light was also illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the fuel sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 76,000.
My 2005 chevrolet trailblazer shows that the fuel level reads empty after refueling to capacity. the fuel sensor light was also illuminated. once on the interstate for appx 50 miles the level resumes. no telling how much fuel is in tank after filling. the vehicle was taken to the mechanic, who stated that the fuel sensor needs to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. *tr
My trailblazer 2005 would be driving down the street at about 25 to 30 miles, then my engine would just turn off with out any warning, am afraid it will happen again but this time when am in the highways going 60 miles on the highway i seen that is not just my vehicle that has happened to and even the fuel pump has gave up with out no answer, the gm or chevrolet dealership don't have a clue why this is happening. it will be really helpful if you guys look into this before someone gets hurt on this malfunction. i really appreciate for taking your time. sincerely, chevrolet trailblazer driver *tr
Ran out of fuel once on highway, when gauge showed tank was full. in jan/feb the gas gauge just stopped working even when completely full of fuel it will show only 1/4 of a tank or none at all. the radio works only intermittently will work then stop working unexpectedly. headlights are always burning their connection, short circuiting my headlights pretty frequently. *tr
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! *tr
Fuel gauge is not working properly. stays on (e) empty, even after filling up. can not tell how much fuel is in the tank. must keep track of miles driven on a daily basis to ensure of not running out of gas when driving. dangerous and very unsafe. *tr
The fuel gauge on my 2005 trailblazer has started to register the fuel incorrectly. when the vehicle is filled the gauge drops to empty, and then will vary from there sometimes showing fuel, sometimes not. i am hearing this is a common issue with this vehicle. *tr
Fuel gauge always reads empty. *tr
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
The fuel guage fluctuates between empty and full and is a safety issue. *tr
Gas gauge does not work properly. will not register gas in tank. *tr
Fuel sensor does not work ! after filling gas tank completely, fuel gauge still reads empty. gauge can sometimes read up to half, then drops to a quarter, then just drops to empty whenever it pleases. also, sometimes the speedometer acts very "twitchy". i have read multiple complaints online about these same exact issues and feel that a full recall is absolutely necessary. *tr
I have a 2005 tb ls, and it's a pos. as soon as i drove off the lot i've had nothing but issues. my brakes pulsate, go to the floor, get stiff as a board, basically they don't work. i have to pump the brakes quickly in an effort to avoid a crash. i filled the gas tank to full, huge mistake. the moment i did that the check engine light has flashed and sporadic idling. it has a loud whine under the hood, front turn signals and hazard flasher randomly stopped working. car will die if i run the a/c for more then 15 mins. it will pull to either side when i apply my brakes. i have always kept up with proper maintenance, tune up, etc. this is absolutely terrible, that so many have the same [xxx] issues and yet chevy will not recognize/take responsibility for their obvious flaws and lack of mechanical knowledge..i just want out of this [xxx] lease and a replacement car!!! parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My fuel gauge is not accurate sometimes. it says there is fuel when there is not. *tr
