My 2006 chevy trailblazer gas gauge is not operational, i have read blogs and discussion boards and this defect is common on 06 trailblazers. at the time of filling up your tank the engine warning light comes on and the gauge will swing to full and then gradually drop down to empty and the low fuel light will come on. like myself,t here are a lot of owners depending on the "fuel used" indication and resetting at the time of fill up. *tr
I purchased a 2006 trailblazer in 2008 a few months after the fuel gauge started failing and was marking empty, so after doing some research i came across thousands of people with this same problem. 2006 trailblazers have an inherent problem w/ the in-tank level sensor , etc ... gm should have recalled this vehicle by now - it is frustrating for both owners and mechanics ... it is obvious that a large portion of trailblazer owner are having issues related to fuel sensors and delivery - im a single mother of four children and im unable to afford this repair im already paying over 18,000 for this vehicle. please gm - rectify this issue - any problem gasoline related should be a top priority !!!! *tr
I have had numerous problems out of my 2006 chevy trailblazer, but all have been covered under warranty up until this point. i purchased my vehicle new with 18 miles on it. it is currently at 42k and i am just outside of my warranty. i filled my car up twice this week and the fuel gauge showed full as i left the gas station. by the time i got home ( approx 1 mile away ) the low fuel indicator turned on. i took my car to the dealership and they indicated that my fuel gauge censor has gone. i took it to the dealership and they refuse to repair it free. the cost is $457.00. unfortunately it costs me about that much a month to keep the sucker gassed up so i cannot afford to 'give' gm any more of my money. i am driving it as it is and searching for a cheaper route to repair my vehicle. i have to children that i have to transport around and i am terrified that i will run out of gas. this is such an extreme and unnecessary stress. please help. *tr
Fuel gauge stopped working on 2006 chevrolet trailblazer, went on-line and saw that many people have the same problem right after their warranty goes out. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet trailblazer. while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the failure was contributed to the lack of gasoline in the fuel tank. roadside assistance was called to the scene. the contact stated that the fuel gauge displayed inaccurate readings at any fuel level capacity. the vehicle resumed normal operation after gasoline was added to the fuel tank. the vehicle has not been repaired. the failure mileage was 40,200 and current mileage was 60,000.
The gas tank ball sensor is defective and causes the environmental light to go on. the fuel tank always shows that its empty and can lead to people being stranded due to unknown amounts of fuel in the tank. *tr

Filled my vehicle up with gas and my gas gauge reads low fuel. poor equipment is the cause this happened on a new suv and they should fix them. the cost is over $500.00 dollars i understand that maintenance is my responsibility but a new truck should not have issues such as these. also sometimes the transmission goes in neutral when i'm in drive and i lose power. the tech's cant find what the problem is. also a code for the purge valve is on and the dealer cant find the problem. please help . *tr
I have had many many problems with my 2006 chevrolet trailblazer most recently the transmission is bad, i had started complaining to the dealer about the transmission slipping at around 8,000 miles, the truck now has 17,000 miles on it. the dealer refuses to repair it under my warranty. the dealer will not cover the repair. the dealer told me i had to pay out of pocket. i was informed of this on 5/4/2007. i have had many many repairs done on this vehicle, something is not right. the dealer also refuses to fix the brakes, the dealer claimed to have repaired them 3,000 miles ago and told me that it is not possible for the brakes to be bad again, the dealer said i need rotors, pads, and they did replace a lt ft caliper that they found to be bad. the dealer will not replace the pads and rotors. the dealer has told me to pick my vehicle up. the vehicle is currently not in safe condition to operate on public highway, i informed the dealer that i will leave the truck there while i contact nhtsa and whoever else i find that will help me. if the dealer insist that i remove my vehicle, i will have it towed, i will not operate the vehicle on public highways, as it is not safe. i will now list some of the items most recently replaced. also, abs , check engine, and service 4wd lite was on and off since january 2007. the gas gauge malfunctioned. the instrument panel was replaced twice, also replaced the radio, front heater, rear heater, dvd player, both upper ball joints, brakes, ft wheel bearing, lt ft door control, ft calipers, some kind of bearing in the steering wheel. the front suspension still makes noise, rattles (the dealer cannot find the problem) there is more but this is what i remember right now without looking it up. the dealer also told me that it is not possible for so many things to be wrong and has accused me of changing parts over from another trailblazer. *tr
