I just filled the fuel tank until completely full, and when I started the vehicle, the gas gauge showed empty and the low fuel light came on. Shut off and restarted several times and it still shows empty and the low fuel light is on. I drove the vehicle several miles and now the service engine light is on. I had gotten a letter from my local Chevrolet dealer about this problem, but discarded it do to not having any problem until now. I searched on-line and heard about alot of other vehicles(peoples complaints) having this same exact problem.

I have a 1996 chevy Blazer and the gas hand floats. It does not give an accurate reading on the gas gauge. I can drive and it will float from 1/2 tank to 1/4 tank while driving.

I have ran out of gas on the freeway on the way to the airport--only thing that saved me and my children at 2:00 am in the morning was that I have roadside.

About a year ago I was driving to columbus, ohio and ran out of gas with the fuel guage on full. This is a 2005 Blazer. Was a year out of warranty and they wanted $800 dollars to take the fuel tank. Was told by the dealer this is a common problem, so where is the recall.

The contact was concerned of the safety risk involved. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 75,000 and current mileage was 78,000.

Fuel gauge fluctuates wildly between full and empty when tank is less than half full. If you look it up the GMC jimmy which uses the same fuel system has the same customer complaints. You never know how much gas you have in the tank. This caused me to run out of gas on a interstate highway in the middle of rush hour and I was unable to pull over to the side because of traffic. Luckily no one ran into me, but it did create a bad traffic problem. Gm refuses to admit this a problem but the mechanics I've talked to say this is a problem they have to repair all the time. This vehicle should be recalled before someone gets injured or killed.

I own a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer, 4 dr. Lt model. The fuel gauge is erratic and will bounce all over the range, whenever the fuel level is at approx. 1/2 tank or less. This has caused me to run out of fuel, on the highway, because I thought that there was fuel in the vehicle; but the gauge was not registering correctly. The local dealer wants over $900. 00 to fix this problem. In doing some online research, this appears to be a very common problem, and gm should issue a recall and fix this problem.

We purchased a brand new 2000 Chevrolet lt Blazer and now the fuel sender will not work properly. Therefore, we do not know how much gas we have in the tank. Per my brother's inquires on a website he found out that there have been numerous other people that have had this problem and was told by a gm technician that this was a defect in this make/model, they are aware of the problem. I think it should be a recall and the consumer should not have to pay to have this repaired since they know it is a defect and is costly to repair especially since the vehicle is not very old!.

Fuel gauge not working properly, never go under one half tank reading. I talked to two other owner of the same make & model, and they said they have the same problem.
