2006 Chevrolet Trailblazers gas gauge fail. Gas gauge stops working and stays on empty. You have to keep up with the miles or spend major money just to have it worked on. I have researched it and looks like it is a major problem. Chevrolet seems to not care about the problem.

48 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2009

I currently own a 2006 chevy Trailblazer. I had just hit the 40,000 mile mark and started having problems with the gas gauge reading empty and the check engine light staying on. I was told to replace the gas cap due to a possible vacuum seal no longer working, that did not correct the problem. I am now tracking my mileage in order to know how much gas I have because as a working mother of three, I cannot not afford the $900 - $1000 to repair the issue. This is definitely a recall issue that should be addressed by gm.
