2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME LAST TWO YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE EMPTY FUEL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READING WAS INACCURATE AND WOULD FLUCTUATE SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER READING WOULD ALSO FLUCTUATE INTERMITTENTLY AND PROVIDE INACCURATE READINGS. THERE WAS A CONCURRENT INVESTIGATION FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP10001 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP) THAT THE CONTACT BELIEVED COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER RAN OUT OF FUEL WHEN AFTER HAVING A HALF A TANK READING THE GAUGE INSTANTLY WENT TO EMPTY AND APPROXIMATELY 3 OR 4 MILES LATER THE TANK WAS EMPTY. NOW THE GAUGE IS COMPLETELY DEAD AND READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY, AND THE FUEL GAUGE WORKED FINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER, AS I WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. CONFUSED, AS THE GAS GAUGE READ 1/2 A TANK REMAINING, I CALLED A FRIEND TO COME PICK ME UP. HE PUT GAS IN THE TANK, AND IT STARTED UP FIRST TRY. I MADE IT TO A FUEL STATION, AND FILLED THE TANK. THE GAUGE READ HALF ALL THE WAY TO THE STATION, AND WHEN I FILLED IT, IT READ EMPTY FOR THE FIRST 40-50 MILES. THEN, THE NEEDLE FLOATED THE RANGE OF THE GAUGE. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS EVER SINCE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER MALFUNCTIONED. PROBLEMS INCLUDED THE NEEDLE STICKING IN ONE PLACE, NOT MOVING DOWN WHEN DECELERATING, AND EVEN SPINNING TO THE "6 O'CLOCK" POSITION BELOW THE GAUGE. I CALLED CHEVROLET TO FIND OUT INFORMATION AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO OFFER ME ANY HELP OR REIMBURSEMENT ASSISTANCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN FUEL LEVELS, EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL SPORADICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR, WHICH WAS REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FLOAT AND FUEL TANK YET THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,562 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZERS FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 9-12 MONTHS AGO, IT IS TOTALLY INACCURATE AND NEVER READS PROPERLY, EVEN WHEN FULL. I READ IN THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
