On several occassion over the past year my fuel gauge in my 2004 cheverolete trailbalzer lt has read inaccuratly leading to breaking down due to the vehicle running out of gas while the gauge was still reading at least 1/4 tank moments before the engin stalls. On all ocassions I was driving on the freeway the gauage showed 1/4 tank and then all od a suddened dropped to e with the fuel warning light coming one. Within a few miiles of this sudden drop and the w2arning light coming on the engin would stall due the the vehcile being out of gas. I have complained to my local dealer on several occassions and all they have offered to me is to replace the sending unit, which in this model is integraded with the fuel pump at the cost of almost $800. This seem worng to me. Now that I have read that this seems to be a problem on these tyopes of vehicles I am even more upset that the local dealership told me miy issue is an isolated issue and they have never heard of any problems with the fuel gagues in these vehicvles.
On July 26 the fuel tank broke and the fuel pump went out also on my chevy Trailblazer it was two days before I had it for 30 days I called the dealer and they said that they couldn't do nothing we paid about $2800. 00 dollars to get it fixed you could smell the gas inside the car I was very worried being that it was harmful to my kids and I let the dealer know that and then a week later we got a recall letter from chevy about the problem the dealer never gave us the car fax report like it states in there dealer front door I would like to do something about this .
Bought a 2004 chevy Trailblazer and fuel gauge is not working on it. Quit right after we bought it. We had also bought a 2000 chevy silverado in 2004 fuel gauge went out on it, it has the electronic sensor/sending unit built onto the fuel pump. Fuel pump works great just the sensor is broke. What is with these on the Chevrolets. I have heard of others with same issue on their Chevrolets.
