2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND LATER MY GAS GAUGE ON MY CAR STARTED ACTING STRANGE. NOW WHEN I FILL UP MY VEHICLE IT GOES TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT/WARNING COMES ON TELLING ME I HAVE NO GAS. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE GAUGE WILL GO TO WHAT THE LEVEL IS BUT SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. WE HAVE TO KEEP THE TRIP METER ON SO WE KNOW HOW MUCH GAS WE HAVE LEFT BASED ON THE MILEAGE. I HAVE CHECKED AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY ALOT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED, SO I HAVE CHOSEN TO DEAL WITH IT BASED ON THE MILEAGE. I HAVE READ ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR TRAIL BLAZERS. I BELIEVE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I DRIVE ALOT AND AM WORRIED THAT I WILL BE ON THE HIGHWAY SOMETIME AND RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS WOULD NOT BE GOOD AS I TRAVEL FROM WISCONSIN TO ILLINOIS ALOT AND THERE REALLY ARE NOT ALOT OF PLACES TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. SO THIS PROBLEM POSES A BIG ISSUE TO ME. I THINK THAT GMC SHOULD OWN UP AND FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. *TR
