Gas gauge doesn't work. Needle on e and light stays on. Person I bought it from reports broken when she bought it used. I trip mileage to o when I get gas. Then by # of gallons I put in I estimate how many miles I think I can travel. It's not always possible to keep tank filled.
The gas gauge quit working! I just put 50. 00 dollars in my gas tank and drove 12 miles to get my three grandchildren. We were on the freeway going 64 miles per hr in the fast lane. I had to immediately get over three lanes to get off the freeway but only made it to the slow lane. I had to call 911 because it was a very dangerous situation. I almost got hit eight times waiting for the state trooper to get to me so he could push us out of harms way with his patrol car. I can't believe this wasn't a recall! this is a big safety issue please do something about this.
Fuel tank levels not accurate. Yellow light warning when tank is near full capacity . Happens all of the time now. .
Erratic fuel gauge. Fluctuates constantly between full and empty. This occurs whether the vehicle is in motion or at a stop. Whether the tank is full or partial does not matter. Cannot rely on gas gauge any longer. Could cause a stall while in motion which would be a serious safety concern. There are thousands of complaints regarding this matter all over the internet. A recall should be put in place. Before someone dies.
When I fill the fuel tank, the fuel gauge shows empty and the low fuel light comes on and the low fuel alarm will ding. Sometimes the gauge will go up and then back down. Sometimes, the gauge will show correctly but you are never sure. This occurs when moving or sitting on a slope or on flat ground.
I was driving 10 mph and suddenly the neddle of the gas went all the way down like I didn't have gas, and the car turn off itself. So I put the gear in park and started the car again so it work again but the needle took 15 minutes to go up all the way to full. And I know my tank was full because I pump was the night before. So I keep driving for 3 days and filled again my tank the night before and next day I turn on the car again the neddle went down a quarter. The mecanic sai was the fuel sensor pump gas. And I hear other people have the same problem. The repair cost me 730 dollars .
After purchasing a tank of gas and driving from the service station, my display registered empty and the check engine light displayed. I reviewed the vehicle owner's manual and discovered there was a serious problem. I retained the letter regarding this "possible" situation that I received in 2012 or 2013 (not dated), and took it to the dealership where I normally have my car serviced. Since the vehicle exceeded the allowable mileage (120,000), I was told they would not honor the 50/50 payment and the cost associated would be 922. 83 to repair. I telephoned general motors regarding the condition and advised that I feel they should be 100% responsible for the repair, since the condition was anticipated and not due to normal usage. Based on the description of the problem and continued safety issue, Chevrolet should correct the problem at no cost to the owner. This remains a safety issue that is not routine or associated with other vehicles. The cost is excessive and I was informed that gm would not correct the problem or pay any portion of the associated cost; at the least, all parts should be covered to correct this anticipated problem. I was informed that gm would not pay any costs associated with the repair. Consumers are asked to buy american products and manufacturers do not make every effort to encourage continued purchases.
I filled the tank on may 6, drove 4 miles, got into the car on may 8, 2014 and the gauge showed no fuel and the warning statement on the dashboard said "low fuel". I drove to the gas station and was told the tank was full. Took the car in for service and was told that the fuel sensor had to be replaced.
Fuel level sensor not reading tank level. Codes wont reset to pass state inspection.
Gas guage now has frozen all of a sudden after 50,000 miles. I filled up my tank full, started the Trailblazer, and the gas guage only says tank is 1/4 full!!! ? the check engine light goes on and off along with the abs and stabilitrak lights. Sometimes they are frozen and stay on for days. I understand there are alot of problems with the electrical system on these vehicles! ? unfortunately! :-( and now. . . . . . The gas guage too???!!! this does not make me happy! always loved chevy vehicles! I don't know about anymore! how to rectify the gas guage????.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving 60 mph, the fuel gauge failed and displayed an inaccurate reading of empty when there was a half tank of fuel in the vehicle. An unknown warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted. An independent mechanic stated that the fuel lever sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign number: 14v404000 (visibility:power window devices and controls), but the part needed for the repair was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 175,000.
Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated while driving various speeds the fuel gauge displayed the fuel tank was empty and a chime sounded even though there was fuel in the tank. The defect had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000. Rvk.
The gas guage began to fluctuate from 1/4 tank to "empty" fuel low and the warning chime went off. There was at least 5 gallons of gas in the tank. I clear the fuel used and trip a every time I fill the tank so I always know roughly how many gallons are in the tank. So I knew when the fuel low light came on this was not true. I shut the vehicle off for a minute and restarted it and the fuel low indicator remained on but over the next 3-5 minutes the guage returned to the 1/4 tank position. This issue occured 3 more times but has not occured long enough for me to bring it to the repair shop to show them proof of the fuel indicator or gas guage sending unit is failing. Since this problem has occured with other people I wanted to add my complaint to the list as I feel this is an ongoing problem with the Trailblazer line and im hoping for a full recall. I owned a GMC jimmy before this and the same exact problem occured with the jimmy. Im waiting for the failure to present itself again so I can take it for repair. But now that I have seen other complaints and see that chevy has acknowledged it with a 50% off repair offer, im hoping I can just get the repair done. So while no big safety issue occured, there is potential for it.
My fuel guage is starting to flucuate. I just filled it up and when I go down the road it will go down at least a quarter of a tank and when I stop and let it run idle for awhile it will go back to where it was. It just started this this past week. From what I am reading, it won't belong before I will have to spend another bunch of money into it. Last month I had to put a new throttle body on it because the sensors went bad and with this year the sensors are in the throttle body, so you have to buy the whole thing. As I was getting into the vehicle about a month ago, the part for the seat controls on the bottom side of the seat just busted off. Everytime it gets colder out, the stabilitrak system won't stay on. It was always off in the winter time, never worked. When living in michigan and getting lake effect snow alot of the time, it would be nice to have it available. I will never buy another gm product. Been buying them and my family members for more than 50 years, more and more of the newer vehicles have too many problems. I don't make that much money to keep putting money into a vehicle that is supposedly reliable and take days off of work to get them fixed. No thank you.
Over the past month there has been a major problem with my fuel gage. I put gas in my car and the gage moves up then goes back down to empty in seconds. Everyday I have to put at least 2 gallons of gas in my SUV to keep it from stopping on a street or freeway because I'm out of gas. It's hard to judge how much gas is in my Trailblazer!when I put gas in my SUV the fuel gage does not stay nor move on the proper gallons of gas I have in my tank!.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the vehicle was full of gasoline however, the fuel gauge would erroneously register the fuel tank as being empty. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled twice while driving 35 mph. The contact did not take the vehicle to the dealer or a mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The contact self diagnosed the vehicle as having a faulty fuel line. The contact had to refuel in order to restart the vehicle, although there was fuel already in the fuel tank. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Fuel gauged does not report correct level of fuel in the tank. Also causes other errors to be reported as problems that are not real.
While driving, fuel gauge indicated 1/4 tank. The next minute the fuel gauge dropped to empty and the low fuel indicator light came on. Rushed to the closest gas station and filled up. The pump indicated 15 gallons on the fill up but the tank holds over 20. Started driving, the fuel gauge showed full, then dropped to empty (low fuel light came on) and then the tank went back up to full. After a few days of driving, the gauge appears to be stuck on 3/4 full.
The fuel gauge is not reading properly. After a fillup, I drove to work, when I drove home later, the gas gauge read near empty. I thought someone stole gas from my tank. I get off work at midnight and live in a rural area, so I was very worried about running out of gas before I got home. (there are no gas stations on my route). Next day I got a can of gas to fill the tank enough to get me to a station, and I found the tank to be full. Since then the gauge has been fluctuating between half full and empty activating the low fuel warning light. This is very unnerving and I won't let my wife drive it now. Asked about this problem at a repair shop and they told me this is common and gm will pay half repair cost. Contacted Chevrolet and the help line confirmed they have a program to fix this problem at half price. If this is such a common problem, why should I have to pay anything to get repairs done when they are admitting it is defective?.
Fuel gauge started from half a tank to empty causing engine to stall.
Fuel gauge quit working properly. While fuel tank was full, gauge went to empty and fuel warning light came on. Around 1/4 tank, fuel warning light goes off and gauge starts reading random values.
Within the past 6 months, various electrical and fuel problems have emerged: the fuel gauge no longer functions at all (it always shows "empty"); the a/c works intermittently; the rear a/c and heater do not function regularly; the service engine light is always lit; odd and random issues with the stereo system occur (stations & settings randomly changing on their own, powering on/off by itself, not powering on/off as it should, & only one speaker is working at the moment); the key not releasing from the ignition; engine not turning over to start; battery dying without reason; power steering failure; alt. Gauge dropping; reduced engine power while on the highway (suddenly limiting speed to 20 mph or less); rear wiper turning on by itself; power seat malfunctioning; rough engine idle; entire instrument panel lighting up; running out of fuel while the gauge indicates that there is ample fuel in the tank; brake lamps not functioning; reduced gas mileage. On 02/25/2013, the controls on the driver's side doors stopped working; the windows will not operate or lock/unlock, the exterior mirrors will not adjust, and the locking mechanism will not work. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership for diagnostic testing at least a half dozen times, and each time no problems were detected, no explanations given, and no remedies suggested! from what I've gathered, there were recalls issued for electrical/wiring problems as well as fuel gauge problems, yet I have never received notice of any such recalls from gm!.
My car killed, as though it had no gas when in deed had a half tank of gas. This left me stranded for almost hour and half, I missed work and am now deathly afraid to drive it knowing I have gas yet the car isn't reading that it does. I even added gas, 25. 00 worth took a picture of it stating half tank gas, drove out the gas station and immediately I was on empty with the empty light on, which I again took a picture stating time and date.
Vehicle fuel gauge goes to empty when at least 1/2 tank of gas in vehicle. Ongoing problem. It looks to me like this is or should be a recall issue, based on the number of persons with the same problem.
My 2007 Trailblazer started giving inaccurate fuel gauge readings at a little over 50000. Initially it might show a partially filled tank when it was full. Now at about 58000miles it just shows empty all the time. When I contacted the dealer they said gm would only pay one-half the 500. 00 needed to repair the gauge. When I researched the problem on line I learned that perhaps thousands of Trailblazer owners had the same problem. This seems unfair, obviously it is a problem gm needs to recognize as a vehicle defect and recall and fix them. Thanks.
2007 chevy Trailblazer. Gas gauge periodically goes from full to empty even though tank is full. No real rhythm to the malfunction which keeps us from knowing how much gas is actually there.
Gas gauge registers at start-up, but drops to empty within five minutes of starting while vehicle is running with no way to evaluate how much fuel is left in the tank.
2007 Chevrolet trail blazer - fuel gauge does not give accurate readings. This recently started. Fuel gauge will indicate that the tank is empty / give warnings, and then only need 7 to 9 gallons to fill the tank. Tank capacity is like 16 gallons.
Fuel tank level sensor.
Gas gauge not accurate and inconsistent. Indicates there is low/no gas in tank when there is approximately 1/4 to a 1/2 of tank of gas.
The fuel sending unit failed in the tank, it will not register the fuel level on the dash board gauge.
2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer - fuel gauge is not giving correct information, lead to vehicle stall with no restart until more fuel was put in the tank.
2007 Trailblazer lt 58,000 mi. Fuel gauge only reads correctly when the tank is full. Anything less that 3/4 of a tank and the fuel gauge reads empty and warning light illuminates. Gauge will occationally fluctuate between accurate reading and empty but more often than not just stays at empty. Never really sure how much gas is in the tank so have to go by the odometer reading. Vehicle is beyond warantee and dealer claims nothing wrong with part.
2007 Trailblazer fuel level sensor failure causes my fuel gauge to give incorrect reading. I would fill up the car with gas and the gauge would go to 1/4 tank or empty at times and then back to full. I brought this vehicle brand new and at 65,000 miles this issue started. My extended warranty ended at 60,000. I ran out of gas once because the fuel level display showed that I had 1/4 tank when I was on empty. I took the vehicle to a local chevy dealership and was told there's a shortage in the sensor and it has to be replaced, but since my warranty is no longer it would cost over $600. 00. I know of 3 other people with the same sensor failure and after reading reviews online I believe chevy needs to recall this sensor.
The fuel gauge does not read properly. I reset my trip meter every time I get gas. So I now that when I hit 300 miles its time. When I fill up, the gauge goes all the way down past e, and once I hit about 50 miles on the trip meter, it resets itself and goes to the appropriate spot. I ran out of gas on the side of the highway because of this. If I can't afford to fill up the tank ($90) a pop, its a risk, and with 2 kids, its a big one.
