2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ACCURATELY. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BOTH TIMES THE GAUGE SHOWED THAT THERE WAS APPROX. 1/4 OF TANK REMAINING. OTHER TIMES AFTER FILLING THE GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND CHIMES WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. VERY ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING. NO ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS ONE QUARTER GASOLINE IN THE FUEL TANK YET THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO THERE BEING NO FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR AND FUEL PUMP WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE DEALER DID NOT PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC BUT ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON AND WAS AWARE OF EXACTLY WHAT WOULD REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AFTER REFUELING HE NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. HE BEGAN TO DRIVE AND THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO DISPLAY A FUEL READING WHICH WAS NOT ACCURATE.

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE, 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES. VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS BECAUSE OF INACCURATE ERRATIC READINGS BEING SENT TO GAS GAUGE. THIS HOUSEHOLD HAS TWO DRIVERS AND THE PROBLEM IS MANIFESTED WHEN THE SECONDARY DRIVER RUNS OUT OF FUEL IN TRAFFIC CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR BOTH AN ACCIDENT OR MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM. INFORMATION ON THE WEB SUGGESTS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR GM, BUT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. THE EXPENSE TO REPAIR IS VERY HIGH. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT STAYS ON AND REMAINS ON EMPTY. *TR

DURING A ROAD TRIP FROM TEXAS TO FLORIDA THE FUEL GAUGE IN THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DROPPED TO EMPTY. IN ADDITION THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK DUE TO THE GAUGE AS READING EMPTY. THE FUEL GAUGE / FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS DEFECTIVE. THE GAUGE DOES NOT REPORT THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK AND CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL. THIS COULD LEAD TO THE VEHICLE STALLING IN LOCATIONS SUCH AS HIGHWAYS THAT PUT THE OCCUPANTS IN DANGER. CHEVY INFORMS THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WILL NEED REPLACED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS QUOTED BETWEEN $800 AND $1000. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DESERVES ACTION BY THE MANUFACTURE TO HAVE THE ISSUE CORRECTED. *TR

STARTED WITH THE SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE (KNOWN ISSUE). THEN THE FUEL GAUGE ACTED UP AND FINALLY WENT TO E AND STAYED. NOW HAVE AND OCCASIONAL SURGE IN THE FUEL WHEN I HAVE THE BRAKE PRESSED (KNOWN ISSUES). SPEEDOMETER STARTING ACTING UP AND NO LONGER WORKS (KNOWN ISSUE). OH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ALWAYS ON. STARTED INTERMITTENTLY (AGAIN, KNOWN ISSUE). WAS TOLD $500 FROM DEALER WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT THE SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE. RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. CLOTH SEATS/LEATHER SEATS, THE SERVICE AIR BAG "SENSOR" IS STILL BROKE! DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX ALL THE "KNOWN" PROBLEMS. *TR
