I've been having issues with the fuel gauge indicating empty after a fill up although its not. . . I had this problem happen about two years ago, I spent $900. 00 (at the time) on an acdelco fuel sending unit and replaced the part. . . It worked for sometime, however, here we are two years later and its happening again. . . I don't have $900. 00 to replace the part again. This time I was driving to work on the highway (luckily it wasn't to busy, but busy enough at the time of 9:30am in the morning on a Monday) doing about 55mph, give or take, and the engine just shut off, the lights came on and it would not start. Luckily for me, I was able to get the cooperation of a state trooper to sit with me until someone could bring me gas. Sure enough it was a gas issue due to the sensor not working properly and the truck started right up once I put a few gallons in the truck. .

My fuel gauge does not work at all! 98% of the time the fuel gauge says I am on empty even though I have just filled up. While I am driving it will sporadically jump around and stick at different levels. I have read many complaints about this issue and know I am not the only one. I have run out of gas before because of this and now I am at the gas station pretty much every other day to make sure I do not run out.
I purchased a used car from ez cars & credit located in riverside California because they had some very good reviews. I could of bought a car from a private owner but I decided to go with a dealership because I figured that the law would protect me and they could not sale me a defective vehicle. I purchased an SUV, Chevrolet Trailblazer 2006 on 2/07/2013 and after taking the car for a test drive, I noticed the airbag light on. The manager javier pena said it was just something that could be fixed in like 5 minutes and that it had to do with the fuses being replaced but his service technician left for the day so I should bring the car in tomorrow. I contacted the dealership and asked for javier pena, I was told by the sales manager who's name is mike, that mr. Javier pena was on vacation for 1 week in mexico. I explained the airbag situation and mike said he doesn't know anything about it and I would have to wait for javier pena to return from mexico. A week and a half later driving with the airbag light on, not knowing if my kids, husband or myself were safe in this vehicle but we spent all our money to purchase this car. We here from javier pena so I brought the car into the dealership, mr. Pena had the car for 4 days and the airbag light is still on today! I contacted mr. Pena and told him I was on my way to pickup my car, mr. Javier pena he was at the office, now when I pick up my car, I get my keys from the owner of the auto repair shop next door. He doesn't even work for the dealership! I have serious water corrosion under my car, the steering wheel feels shaky the fuel gauge never reads correctly and the lights go off and on inside the car after a while of driving. I don't know what to do??.

On November 16,2012 I stopped to get gas. After getting gas my low fuel light was on and the fuel gauge registered as if the vehicle was out of gas. Having known better I started the vehicle which hesitated to start. It finally started but sputtered its way out of the gas station. As I finally cleared the gas station the vehicle stalled and came to a complete stop without any warning and I was hit from behind.
Fuel gauge stopped working. At first it dropped to empty, and stayed there for about 15 miles. After driving for about 15 miles the gauge would slowly return to the correct fuel level. Over time, the problem worsened, as it started taking longer and longer for the gauge to recover to the correct level. Now it stays on empty nearly permanently, only occasionally registering some fuel at startup and quickly dropping to empty again.
Immediately after filling up, my 2006 tbss fuel gauge stopped working. I fill up with non-ethanol gas premium grade. The low fuel message appears on the dash along with the needle sitting on empty and the low fuel light remains on. I have read over 250 complaints of the same problem.
Fuel gauge for the Trailblazer would bounce back and forth to empty and the full. This went on for a couple weeks but now only stays on empty.

Fuel guage registered empty when tank was full, then was erratic - sounds like a common complaint - should be a recall.
Fuel gauge does not read accurate. Usually reads empty even when filled. Bounces back and forth.
Fuel gauge inoperable just as stated in all the other complaints. Chevy should be held accountable to repair at no cost for the life of the vehicle. Please mandate a recall as soon as possible.
Fuel gauge started to fluctuate in October 2011. I tried all kinds of fuel treatments by recommendation of my mechanic, but nothing seemed to work. Now, March 2012, it does not work at all. I'm afraid some day I will run out of gas on the highway which concerns me for my safety and my passengers safety.
The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was providing inaccurate fuel level readings. As a result, the vehicle stalled while the contact was traveling 45 mph. The contact had to set the mileage to zero in order to determine how much fuel was in the vehicle and how many miles she could travel before running out of fuel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000 and the approximate current mileage was 65,000.
Fuel gauge started fluctuating last week. Drove approx. 4 more times and no problem. Yesterday and today fuel gauge fluctuating again. This only occurs after I've had the car running and then shut it off, run in a store etc. Start it up and it shows empty with the idiot light on- as I am driving the needle slowly goes back up.
The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer ext. The fuel gauge displayed empty when the fuel tank was full. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 67,000 and the current mileage was 71,000.
Initially the fuel gauge began fluctuating and working intermittently. Then, it stopped working all together. It always says the vehicle is on empty with the gas light and the check engine light staying on 90% of the time. This is very frustrating because if there were a problem with the engine, I would have no way of knowing whether the light is on due to the fuel sensor or because of another more serious issue. I also must rely on the "trip meter" to determine my fuel level. I have found this is a very common problem with these vehicles and would hope chevy would take responsibility.
The fuel gauge doesn't work. Can't tell if the car is full or empty.

My fuel gauge started acting up about a year ago. I have not fixed it because it will cost me at least 500. 00. I am a teacher and my husband has been laid off for over 2 years. My fuel gauge always reads empty now with my check engine light going on and off as it likes. I have to make sure my 2006 chevy trailbazer does not go over 300 miles being I live in a remote area. I feel that chevy should have to pay for its defects. I paid a nice amount of money for a reliable vehicle and I am not getting any part of reliable from it.

The fuel gauge quite working at 75,000 and is caused by the fuel sending unit being defective.
