2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

WE HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WE PURCHASED NEW.......FUEL GUAGE WILL SO FULL TANK THEN EMPTY. GUAGE IS NOT ACCURATE AT ALL AND MOST THE TIME DOES REGISTERS NOTHING. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. ON APRIL 17TH 2011 I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 1-96 IN MICHIGAN WITH MY 2 YOUNG KIDS. GAS GAGUE READ 48 MILES TILL EMPTY WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED,IT WAS OUT OF GAS. MY KIDS AND I HAD TO WALK ALONG A MAJOR HIGHWAY TO NEAREST GAS STATION TO GET GAS. THE TRUCK RAN FINE BEFORE STALLING OUT AT 70 MPH. I AM THANKFUL THERE WERE NO CARS CLOSE BEHIND ME WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. *TR

ERRATIC FUEL LEVEL READINGS ON FUEL GATE. ONCE THIS STARTED IT WAS REGULAR AND WOULD READ FULL, EMPTY, PARTIALLY FULL REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL. REPLACED FUEL PUMP MODULE AND LEVEL SENSOR. OLD PART IS NOT STILL AVAILABLE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I HEARD THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION I HAD A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXTENDED 2WD WE HAD NO SAFETY ISSUES AS WE DISCOVERED IT WAS NOT WORKING AND MONITORED MILES DRIVEN TO PREVENT RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER REFUELING AND OFTEN , WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY AN ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. UPDATED 5/24/11 *CN

AS PER INCIDENT NUMBER DP10001 I AM ON MY THIRD FUEL SENSOR AND THE VEHICLE HAS LEFT MY FAMILY STRANDED IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE FAULTY PART. THE FAULTY PART IS PRESENTLY PREVENTING ME FROM PASSING EMISSIONS. *TR

ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND ABRUPT ENGINE POWER LOSS, FUEL GAUGE STAYED BELOW EMPTY MARK EVEN AFTER FULL FILL UP.

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS GAGE IS DROPPING TO EMPTY AND GAS ALARM GOES OFF WHEN IT HAS ALMOST 1/2 A TANK. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON LINE, AND IT HAS BEEN DANGEROUS. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. IF YOU CAN SEARCH THIS PROBLEM ON LINE YOU WOULD SEE HOW BAD IT HAS BEEN. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE QUITE WORKING AT 75,000 AND IS CAUSED BY THE FUEL SENDING UNIT BEING DEFECTIVE. THIS CAUSES A HAZARD SINCE UNABLE TO DETERMINE AMOUNT OF FUEL AVAILABLE AND COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO QUIT ON ROAD. FROM ALL ITEMS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART AND EVEN WHEN REPAIRED GOES BACK OUT. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON OUR 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS FAILED ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON RESULTING FROM NUMEROUS CODES. THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP/FILTER/SENDING UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WONT PASS AND INSPECTION WITHOUT IT. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND REFUND OWNERS WHO HAVE SPENT MONEY FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL TANK SENSOR WENT OUT ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH ONLY ABOUT 36,000 MILES ON IT. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. SINCE THEN EVEN THOUGH I TRACK MY MILEAGE I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS MULTIPLE TIMES, CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. PRICE QUOTES HAVE BEEN IN THE 550-600 DOLLAR RANGE. *TR
