2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer Complaint Log

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT ACCURATE WE WERE IN LEFT LANE THE GAS GAUGE SHOWING 1/2 TANK WHEN VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS THERE WAS NO MEDIAN ON THE LEFT SO WE HAD TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO SAFETY - VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

ERATIC FUEL GAUGE. POSSIBLY SENDER UNIT OR GUAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL SENSOR GAUGE FAILED. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE WAS STILL PROVIDING AN EMPTY READING. LATER, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL DUE TO AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS OR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED IN THE TANK, IT WILL NOT REGISTER THE FUEL LEVEL ON THE DASH BOARD GAUGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WHEN THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL. THERE WERE FOUR OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE, ALL OF WHICH WERE KILLED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE BLACK BOX WAS INVESTIGATED AND THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER DETERMINED THAT VEHICLE ACCELERATED BUT THE DRIVER DID NOT APPLY THE BRAKES DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE BLACK TIRE MARKS AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH, INDICATING THAT THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE SAME ACCELERATION FAILURE FOR THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE DRIVEN AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL WITHOUT THERE BEING A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS' FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. IT RANDOMLY LOST ABILITY TO GAUGE ON AND OFF FOR A MONTH AND NOW FINALLY ALWAYS READS EMPTY. WE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE, BELIEVING WE HAD FUEL. *TR

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. *TR

FUEL SENDER FAILED 8 MONTHS AGO RESULTING IN THE GAS GAUGE ALWAYS ON EMPTY. CHEVY JUST SENT OUT A COURTESY LETTER ADVISING THEY WOULD PAY FOR HALF THE REPAIR. I FOUND 1000'S OF CASES OUT THERE FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. TO ME, THIS IS A LARGE SCALE PROBLEM THAT CHEVY SHOULD REPAIR AT NO COST TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. VERY DISAPPOINTING. CHEVY VEHICLES USED TO BE ROUGH AND TOUGH LIKE THEIR SLOGAN "LIKE A ROCK", BUT THESE DAYS WITH ALL THESE COSTLY PROBLEMS, IT'S ONLY FITTING THAT THEY CHANGED IT TO "CHEVY RUNS DEEP" IN YOUR POCKETS....:-( MY LARGER CONCERN IS THAT WE ALREADY RAN OUT OF GAS ONCE WITH OUR TWO KIDS IN THE CAR ON THE TOLLWAY WITH 75MPH SPEED LIMIT. VERY DANGEROUS AND A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX! *TR

2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS SENSOR LEVEL. GAS GAGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN TOTALY FULL. *TR

STARTED NOTICING THAT WHEN I WOULD FILL UP, IT WOULD SHOW THAT I WAS EMPTY. THEN AFTER PUTTING ABOUT 40 MILES ON THE TANK OF FUEL IT WOULD START SHOWING CORRECTLY. I DEALT WITH THIS FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEN IT SHOWED THAT I HAD A 1/4 TANK OF FUEL BUT I ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. AFTER THAT I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS $300 TO REPAIR. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS INACCURATELY. STATES MORE FUEL THAN WHAT IS IN TANK. CAN CAUSE VEHICLE TO STALL WHEN DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING OF EMPTY. AS THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE BEGAN TO RISE AND DISPLAY VARIOUS READINGS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ALWAYS INACCURATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL GAUGE OR FLOAT MECHANISM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000. UPDATED 5/24/11 *CN

FUEL GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING SPORADICALLY. WOULD DROP TO EMPTY FOR A WHILE THEN COME BACK UP AFTER DRIVING A DISTANCE. NOW GAUGE IS ALWAYS ON EMPTY AND CEL ALWAYS ON WITH CODE P0463.(FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE) THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS GM PLATFORM. I AM KEEPING TRACK OF MILES PER TANK AND REFILLING AT 200 MILES BUT THE CEL WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE MAY BE ANOTHER, MORE SERIOUS, ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, WHILE THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF FUEL IN TANK. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED, THE GAUGE READS CORRECTLY, BUT AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. *TR WHEN TANK IS 100% FULL, THE GAUGE READS CORRECT UNTIL AROUND 100 MILES, WHEN THE GAUGE IMMEDIATELY DROPS TO EMPTY. ONLINE RESEARCH IS SHOWING THIS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE, POSSIBLY WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ATTACHED TO THE PUMP.

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK SO WE NEVER REALLY KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS WE HAVE LEFT WHICH CAN RESULT IN IT RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY PUTTING MYSELF OR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN DANGER... *TR

FUEL GAUGE ON THE 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS FAILED AT LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. NOT KNOWING THE LEVEL OF FUEL IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON ACCORDING TO DEALER. COST TO REPAIR IS FROM $600 TO $1,000. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING WHEN YOU FILL IT UP THE GAUGE SHOWS FULL THAN YOU DRIVE IT A LITTLE BIT AND IT GOES TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS AS A RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, SOMETIMES IT READS HALF FULL BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT IS ON EMPTY. *TR

I WAS GOING INTO THE DRIVE THROUGH BANK WINDOW AND WHEN I WENT TO OPEN MY WINDOW IT WOULD NOT GO DOWN. THE OTHER WINDOWS WORKED BUT NOT FROM THE MAIN SWITCH. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW MODULE WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME $300 TO REPLACE WHICH I DO NOT HAVE . AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *JS

HAVE HAD MULTIPLE SENSING FAILURES WITH FUEL GAUGE ON THIS VEHICLE CAUSING ONE TIME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON MAJOR EXPRESSWAY. I KEEP RECORD OF GAS PURCHASES AND TRY TO BE AWARE HOW FULL THE TANK IS. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM NOW BUT CANNOT BE RELAYED ON.

MY 2007 TRAIL BLAZER HAS A BAD FUEL GAUGE WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES OVER TWO YEARS. IN ALL OF THOSE OCCASIONS MY GAUGE READING SAID I HAD MORE FUEL IN IT. NOW IT WILL COMPLETELY STOP WORKING AFTER HALF A TANK IS USED. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS 2/11/2011. ONE OF THOSE INCIDENTS WAS REPORTED TO POLICE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS MALFUNCTIONING. ALTHOUGH THERE IS PLENTY OF FUEL IN THE TANK THE FUEL GAUGE RANDOMLY FALLS TO EMPTY AND SHOWS A LOW FUEL MESSAGE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL BE OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT TRYING TO ESTIMATE BASED ON MILEAGE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH BURNED UP AND MELTED INSIDE WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNATTENDED. THE WINDOW SWITCH IS NOW INOPERABLE. *TR UPDATED 10/19/12 *CN UPDATED 10/23/2012 *JS

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER'S FUEL GAUGE IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECEIVING ALL PREVENTIVE AND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO (FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2011) AND HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THE GAUGE WILL INDICATE PROPER LEVEL WHEN KEY IS TURNED ON BUT WILL DROP TO ZERO WITH LOW LEVEL LIGHT STAYING ON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED EVEN IF THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO ALLOW MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER TO USE THIS VEHICLE AS HER PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOL AND WORK. ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHERE BEING STUCK ON THE SIDE OF ROAD IN THE COUNTRY CAN BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ESTIMATE AND THE REPAIR WILL REACH BETWEEN $600-900 SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND FROM TALKING TO PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS AND INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN TO BE THE USE OF SUBSTANDARD PARTS IN THE FUEL LEVEL SENSORS IN THE FUEL TANK. EVEN IF MY LIMITED RESEARCH IS NOT CONCLUSIVE, THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WHERE THIS OCCURS SEEMS TO WARRANT A RESPONSE FROM THE COMPANY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS HALF FULL OR LESS. IT REGISTERS LOW FUEL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE SENDER FLOAT ASSEMBLY TO FIX. GM DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL AND IT WAS OUT OF WARRENTY DUE TO MILAGE.

DRIVING TO WORK GAS GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK OF GAS. ENGINE STALLED AND HAD TO WAIT FOR 2 HOURS BEFORE TOW TRUCK CAME. TOW TRUCK OPERATOR ASKED IF I RAN OUT OF GAS. I TOLD HIM I HAD A QUARTER TANK LEFT. HE SUGGESTED PUTTING IN 2 GALLONS AND TRY TO START, WHICH IT DID. FUEL GAUGE STARTED SHOWING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR AND HAS SINCE STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR REMAINS ILLUMINATED AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. THE GAUGE AND MESSAGE BAR INDICATED THAT THERE IS LOW FUEL NO MATTER HOW FULL THE TANK IS. AS A RESULT, I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP METER AND ASSUME THAT I NEED TO FILL UP AT AROUND 250 MILES. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE EVEN BEFORE THAT AMOUNT OF MILES. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND CHEVROLET CORPORATE BUT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS AND STATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 60,000. *TR

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2007 TRAILBLAZER, I HAVE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT NEEDS REPLACEMENT IN THE FOUR YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, AND GM IS NOT COVERING IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE GAUGE GOES DOWN TO ZERO AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR CHIMES. LAST TIME AROUND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. *TR

FUEL GAGE READ 1/4 OF A TANK AND RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE WINTER WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. SINCE THE INCIDENT MY FUEL GAGE READ ALL OVER THE BOARD AND EVENTUALLY ONLY READS EMPTY. I HAVE MEET MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL WITH THE SAME ISSUES

EXPERIENCED INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READINGS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READING INACCURATE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES, THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR JUST WENT OUT. THE ESTIMATE WAS NEARLY A THOUSAND DOLLARS.....THIS OF COURSE IS NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THIS VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IN FEB OF 2010. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES. I ESTIMATE FUEL MILEAGE WITH EVERY FILL UP. BUTT I AM DISABLED, AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS SOMEWHERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS NOT AN OPTION. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE THINKING I WOULD BE SAFE DRIVING IT. I CAN'T AFFORD AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR LIKE THIS.I HAVE OWNED GM ALL MY LIFE....VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM... *TR

THE MENTIONED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN THIS VEHICLE (AND FROM RESEARCH OTHER EARLIER MODELS) FAILS OR WEARS OUT PREMATURELY. THE WEAR COULD CAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND CAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE AND LOW FUEL LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS OCCURS IN THE VEHICLES BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD THEY HAVE SENT A LETTER OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ADVISING THE CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THE ISSUE REPAIRED AND THEY WILL REIMBURSE HALF THE COST OF THE REPAIR. NOT KNOWING WHEN YOUR FUEL IS LOW PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SCENARIO FOR THE DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES. IT CAN RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN A SPEEDWAY / HIGHWAY WHERE LIVES WOULD BE AT RISK. CHEVROLET SHOULD RECALL ALL THE VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND AVOID FUTURE LAWSUITS AND OR CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR NOT ADDRESSING AN ISSUE THEY ADMIT IS A FAULT IN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OBD CODE REPORTS FUEL SENSOR INPUT HIGH NOTIFIED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER 1/6/2011 REFERENCE SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS AND CONSTANTLY READS "EMPTY." THE TRAILBLAZER IS MY WIFE'S SOLE TRANSPORTATION AND PUTS RISK TO BOTH HER AND MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. IN THE INSTANCE THAT SHE RUNS OUT OF GAS DUE TO HER INABILITY TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS SHE HAS SHE IS AT RISK OF BEING STRANDED WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE 100 DEGREE TEXAS HEAT. ADDITIONALLY, THE RISK OF HER BEING STRANDED AWAY FROM HOME OR ON A HIGHWAY PUTS HER LIFE IN DANGER. THE FAILURE OF THE GAS GAUGE AND FUEL DETECTION UNIT OCCURRED IN JANUARY OF 2011 AND HAS NOT OPERATED PROPERLY SINCE. TO FIX THE PROBLEM WILL COST $700. THE FACT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES MAKES IT OBVIOUSLY APPARENT THAT THE FUEL DETECTION SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHEVY. IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF CHEVY TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE UNIT TO MAINTAIN CONSUMER LOYALTY TO THE CHEVY BRAND. OTHERWISE, I AM COMMITING TO NO LONGER PURCHASE CHEVY OR GM VEHICLES. *TT

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

GAS GAUGE IS IRRATIC AFTER FILLING UP. I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH FUEL THE GAGE STAYS ON EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER DRIVING 30 TO 50 MILES THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE FUEL GAGE WORKS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILL UP AND THE SAME FAILURE REPEATS ITSELF. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS OR RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE OF THIS. HOWEVER, I DO NOT TRUST THE GAGE AND HAVE GOTTEN IN THE HABIT OF FILLING UP WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL GETS DOWN TO ONE HALF TANK. *TR

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 OCCASIONALLY 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 WARRANTY AND DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING WRONG WITH PART. *TR

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES FROM LOW FUEL TO ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL ONCE ACTUAL GAS LEVEL REACHES APPROXIMATELY 1/2 TANK. *TR

UPON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK ON THE VEHICLE, THE GAS GAGE DROPPED TO "EMPTY". THE GAS GAGE THEN WENT TO HALF AND RETURNED TO EMPTY SEVERAL TIMES. THE GAS GAGE FINALLY RETURNED TO FULL, THE CORRECT LEVEL. HOWEVER, SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, WHILE TRAVELING OVER A NARROW TWO-LANE BRIDGE, I WAS STARTLED BY THE SOUND OF A WARNING CHIME. WHILE TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE WARNING I WAS DISTRACTED AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION ON THE BRIDGE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE GAS LEVEL HAD RETURNED TO THE EMPTY LEVEL EVEN THOUGH THE TANK WAS FULL. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT SUBSEQUENTLY CAME ON. I DID SOME ON-LINE RESEARCH (GOOGLE "TRAILBLAZER FUEL DEFECTS") AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS FROM TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WHO HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. THE YEAR OF VEHICLE RANGES FROM 2003 TO 2008. MANY OF THESE OWNERS STATE THAT DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE GAS GAGE THEY HAD RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE IN MOTION THEREBY ENDANGERING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STATED I HAD ENOUGH FUEL AND I RAN OUT OF GAS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN JUST 2 MONTHS AGO AND I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM TELLING ME THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AND THAT THEY WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, I SEE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER THAT HAS A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. AFTER A FILL UP THE GAUGE READS FULL FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND THEN READS EMPTY AND I GET A CHIME AND FUEL WARNING LIGHT. I CANNOT RELY ON THIS EQUIPMENT AND FEAR RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER RUNS OUT OF GAS WHEN GAUGE SAYS FULL, HAVE RUN OUT AT 70 MPH WITHOUT NOTICE ON HIGHWAY. HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT IS WORKING OR NOT WILL SHOW FULL ONE MINUTE THEN EMPTY THE NEXT. REPAIR IS COSTLY AND HAVE RESULTED TO RESETTING TRIP METER, HOWEVER IF I FORGET OR SIT IN TRAFFIC MORE THAN USUAL IT IS NOT ACCURATE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS MORE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THAN MY WHOLE LIFE. VERY UNSETTLING TO BE STRANDED NOT TO MENTION UNSAFE TO BE IN CAR NOT KNOWING WHEN GOING TO JUST STOP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THERE ARE MANY MANY 2005 - 2007 TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ON NUMEROUS CHAT AND COMPLAINT BOARDS, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL. I ONLY HAVE 65,000 MILES THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND NOT SAFE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. FUEL GAUGE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING AND WILL READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND CAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE AND LOW FUEL LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING OF EMPTY. THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE BUT THE GAUGE SHOWED A FULL TANK FOR A MOMENT THEN DROPPED DOWN TO EMPTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 54,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD REGISTER AN INACCURATE READING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY AND PROGRESSED TO A CONSTANT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. THE GAUGE WILL SHOW HOW MUCH FUEL THERE IS AND THEN IT WILL SLOWLY GO DOWN TO "E". I HAVE TO KEEP RECORDS OF HOW MUCH FUEL THAT I PUT INTO THE VEHICLE SO THAT I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS A FAULTY HORN, WHERE I NEED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE HORN TO FUNCTION. *TR
