I was driving on the freeway when I noticed my speedometer suddenly went to 100 miles an hour. I knew this could not be the case as my gps showed I was traveling at 55mph. It then went to 120miles an hour and flip. Flopped back and forth. I went to the Chevrolet dealership and they informed me it was the electrical cluster and even though there were many complaints, Chevrolet would not pay for it. The cost to me would be over $500 I live on a small social security check, so could not afford to repair it. Next at 85,000 miles the fuel gauge went haywire and would not register any fuel although I would fill it completely. Also, the lights blink off and on when I am driving at night, so, I am afraid I will be stranded somewhere in the dark with my car quitting all together. This was my last car purchase before I retired and I am just sick that the Chevrolet company will not fix these defects. . . They fix the same cluster in their Chevrolet trucks. . . . Why not in the cars? by the way, I just got a letter last week saying they would "split the cost " to fix the fuel gauge. . . (my cost is $200 1/3 of my social security check!!.
Fuel guage defect; reads empty when the vehicle has gas in it. Also reads a higher level of gas than what is actually in it. Every morning when starting the vehcile the fuel guauge light comes on even when the vehicle has gas. I never know how much gas is in the vehicle, I am worried it will shut off when driving down the road. This began at 80000 miles, and has been constant ever since.
Gas gauge failure, irregular gauge readings that started about 6 months ago. I have been using the trip to watch my mileage and fill up about ever 250 miles so that I won't be without gas on the highway as I live in a rural community and the larger town is 25 miles away.
Fuel gauge is never right. It goes to empty when you fill it; and then reads other readings intermittently throughout the day.

Fuel is always shown as empty even though I put gas in it. Blower on ac/heat quit working.
Fuel gauge is erratic. Reads empty most of the time even after a fill-up. Gauge needle bounces from empty to full while driving. Faulty sender causes check engine light to stay on constantly. I received a notice from gm explaining that they would pay for half of the repair, but only if my Trailblazer was under 120,000 miles. I don't know of too many vehicles on the road that are 7 years old that have less than 120,000 miles.
I have a 2005 Trailblazer that sometime the gas guage works and sometimes it won't . I have talked to several other people with 2005 Trailblazer and they have the same issue.
Fuel gauge not working. Has not worked for a long time now. I will not pay 800. 00 to get it fixed. Stopped working at around 60,000 miles. Finally ran out of gas 1/25/11. I did not know the power steering would quit working. I was scared I would not be able to steer it off the road safely with traffic behind me. I finally did, it was hard, but thank god and luckily did not go over the embankment.

Our 2005 Trailblazer is having the same issue as every complaint I have read on this site. The fuel gauge is not working and the speedometer sticks after driving for about 20 minutes. I read that there has been a petition involving this paticular problem. I will be getting more involved with this. I will be also calling.
Own a 2005 chevy trail blazer all of a sudden the gas guage stopped working then I was driving home from out of state and went from 50 mph then into a town which was 30 mph and the speedometer got stuck at 36 mph and would not go up or down the rest of the trip. I did not know how fast I was going and got pulled over for speeding. This is an issue. Both of these issues with the 2005 trail blazer seem to be happening to a lot of people among other issues within the dash. Chevy really needs to make a recall because after paying $700 to fix the gas guage, it went out again less than a year later. I was also quoted over $500 to fix the speedometer. Why hasn't there been a recall on this issue!?.
Faulty fuel gauge sending unit. Very common problem in many Chevrolet Trailblazers and GMC envoys. There needs to be a recall as this is a very common problem and the dealer wants $600 to repair this problem.
The fuel gauge on my 2005 chevy Trailblazer reads empty most of the time and at other times when it does register fuel it can't be trusted. The cluster on this vehicle had to be replaced when the speedometer would stick and could not tell how fast the vehicle was traveling. This repair cost me over $600. This is a very dangerous situation to be in. The online blogs show many people having the same problem, but chevy wont recognize this problem.
