2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THE GAS GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY SHOWING THE TANK IS EMPTY - EVEN AFTER IT HAS BEEN FILLED UP.

THE FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY, EVEN AFTER THE GAS TANK IS FULL OF GAS. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL ALSO JUMP TO 1/4 OF A TANK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY BACK TO EMPTY.

FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING SO IT WAS NEVER KNOWN HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN VEHICLE. VEHICLE COULD STALL DUE TO NOT HAVING ADEQUATE FUEL. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT IS WORKING SOME TIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. AFTER ABOUT 60000 MILES IT WOULDN'T WORK RIGHT, OF COURSE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO FIX RIGHT AWAY FOR ABOUT 600.00 DOLLARS. MY SONS GIRL FRIEND HAS A 2003 TRAILBLAZER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IS GOING ON.YOU MAY REACH ME E-MAIL [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. FILLED UP GAS TANK AND FUEL GAUGE REMAINED ON EMPTY. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP IN OCT 2010, 67,864 MILES ON VEHICLE. THEY ADVISED IT WAS A KNOW PROBLEM. HAD REPAIRED AT COST OF $800. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING PROPERLY. IT WOULD BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND HALF A TANK NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN IT AT FIRST. THEN WITHIN THREE MONTHS IT QUIT ALL TOGETHER. NOW IT JUST SITS ON EMPTY ALL THE TIME..REPEATEDLY DINGING AT ME BECAUSE IT READS AN EMPTY TANK AT ALL TIMES. I CAN STOP AT THE GAS STATION AND FILL THE TANK AND START IT UP AND IT SITS ON EMPTY AND WILL DING AT ME WITHIN 5 MINUTES TO TELL ME THE TANK IS EMPTY. TRYING TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK HAS BECOME A GUESSING GAME. CONSIDERING I AM ALMOST ALWAYS DRIVING AROUND WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR IT IS QUITE SCARY TO THINK OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAVE RESEARCHED SCORES OF FORUMS WITH OTHER OWNERS SUFFERING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET CHEVROLET HAS NO CONCERNS. THEY WOULD RATHER PROFIT FROM THE ESTIMATED $1800 REPAIR BILL. WITH THE ECONOMY IN THE SHAPE IT IS THERE ARE ALOT OF US FORCED TO ENDURE THE PROBLEM AND KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED WE DON'T GET HIT IF WE MISTAKENLY GUESS WE HAVE MORE GAS THAN IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. THIS IS ON TOP OF THE WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT AT 40,000 MILES WHICH WE PAID TO REPLACE ALONG WITH THE THERMOSTAT BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER HEATING. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ALL OF THE TIME AND WHEN IT IS WORKING IT IS NOT ACCURATE, SHORTLY AFTER FILLING TANK, LOW FUEL ALARM SOUNDS. THE ALARM IS A DISTRACTION, IN ADDITION THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT INDICATES THERE IS FUEL AND THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS, THE CREATES A HAZARD, GETTING STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

MY WIFE'S 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S FUEL GAUGE FAILED. SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD THINKING SHE HAD A 1/4 TANK OR SO OF GAS WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY CAUSING HER VEHICLE TO STALL WHICH NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY FOR US, THE DRIVER BEHIND HER HAD AMPLE DISTANCE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING HER VEHICLE. WHEN THE CHEVY DEALER WAS CONTACTED THEY INDICATED THEY WERE AWARE OF A FAULTY PICKUP (?) IN THE TANK AND BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BY GENERAL MOTORS. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND FIXED. IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY THERE MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PLEASE MANDATE A RECALL FOR THIS SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR

I DRIVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE GAS GAUGE IS WILDLY INACCURATE. IN FACT, WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I RAN OUT OF GAS. IT WAS IN THE EVENING DURING THE COLD MICHIGAN WINTER AND I HAD MY 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME IN HER CAR SEAT. THE GAUGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ME WITH AN ACCURATE IDEA OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND I AM FORCED TO EITHER USE MY ODOMETER OR JUST MAKE AN EDUCATED GUESS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN WHICH THE GAS GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, IT STARTED SENDING THE ALARM OF LOW FUEL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS PLENTY OF GAS IN VEHICLE. NOW, THE GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN AND EVENTUALLY WILL BE IN THE EMPTY POSITION EVEN AFTER I HAVE FILLED IT UP. NEED TO GET VEHICLE FIXED, BUT WAITING UNTIL A RECALL OCCURS. *TR
