2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

ON 7/18/09 I FUELED UP MY TRUCK WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE, WHICH WAS WORKING AT THE TIME QUIT WORKING. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO PEOPLE DEPENDING ON THEIR VEHICLES FOR DAY TO DAY LIVE, PLUS THE WAY THE PRICE OF GAS IS PEOPLE CAN'T ALWAYS AFFORD TO STOP AND PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE THE PRICE OF VEHICLES NOWADAYS IS WAY OUT OF RANGE FOR THE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. SINCE JULY 5, 2009, THE FUEL GAUGE DIAL FAILS TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN THE TANK. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK OUT. IN ADDITION, THE TANK COULD BE EMPTY, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY A FULL TANK. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL GAUGE OR FUEL PUMP. JUNE 15-24 2009 I WAS PUTTING GAS INTO MY VEHICLE EVERY DAY BECAUSE IT WAS READING THAT MY TANK WAS EMPTY. ON JUNE 24, I COMPLETELY FILLED UP MY TANK AND THE LIGHT REMAINED ON AS IF MY TANK WAS EMPTY. THE LIGHT REMAINED ON UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE GAUGE MOVED UP SHOWING THAT I ONLY HAD A 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. MY GAUGE IS GIVING ME A FALSE READING OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK AND I NOW HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE MILES PER TRIP TO MAKE SURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE READ 1/4 OF A TANK AND I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP AND 2 HOURS AFTER I FILLED UP THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED TO PUT MORE GAS IN THINKING THAT MAYBE I STOPPED IT TOO EARLY AND IT WASN'T FULL. I STARTED DRIVING AND THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. SO NOW MY GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND I HAVE TO RELY ON MY MILES PER TRIP TO FIGURE OUT WHEN TO FILL UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. IT WILL SHOW THE TANK IS EMPTY, EVEN AFTER FILLING IT. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. CHEVY SAYS IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AND HAS A REPAIR KIT FOR IT, BUT CHARGES OVER $500 FOR THE KIT PLUS LABOR. I ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN AROUND, INCLUDING MY SON WITH SPECIAL NEEDS TO HIS MONTHLY APPOINTMENTS AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 200+ MILES AWAY. I MYSELF HAVE NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS AS THIS PROBLEM HAS JUST STARTED IN MY CAR, BUT I KNOW OTHERS WHO HAVE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THIS PROBLEM UNRESOLVED LEADS TO THE TRIP METER AND SPEEDOMETER TO STOP WORKING ALSO) AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS & INJURIES. WE TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE HOPING THAT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS AND A LITTLE PRESSURE FROM THE NHTSA WILL CAUSE CHEVY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM!! PLEASE HELP US!! ON AVERAGE THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO CROP UP AROUND 60,000 MILES. *TR

THIS SEEMS TO BE A PERVASIVE PROBLEM WITH RECENT MODELS OF CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS; THE FUEL GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN ERRATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EITHER LOW ON FUEL OR IS RECENTLY FILLED UP. SOME SOURCES INDICATE THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH A FAULTY FUEL PUMP SENSOR, WHICH REQUIRES THE GAS TANK TO BE REMOVED AND A SENDING UNIT SENSOR REPLACED. FAULTY EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND NOT LEFT FOR THE CHANCE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THE GAUGE WOULD SHOW THAT THE FUEL LEVEL WAS EMPTY AND CAUSED THE INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR, WHICH WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. MOST RECENTLY, THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD BECOME STUCK ON 40 OR 90 MPH. OCCASIONALLY, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO USE THE RPMS TO MEASURE HER SPEED. SHE HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER OR NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

SHORTLY AFTER MY 2005 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THE GAS GAUGE FAILED AND LEFT ME STRANDED. WHEN I FILL THE TANK IT REGISTERS EMPTY. ALSO LEFT MY WIFE AND CHILD STRANDED ONE OTHER TIME. THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY ALL THE TIME NOW. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THERE ARE 100'S OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH EITHER THERE ENVOY OR THERE TRAILBLAZER. ALSO HAVE HAD A SMELL OF GASOLINE FROM TIME TO TIME. *TR
