Upon filling my truck up with gas one day, I started the truck and the fuel guge showed I was still on empty. I made my husband go in to the store cause I thought they shafted us and we didn't get any gas. Haha Turns out that my fuel gauge quit working, which seems to be yet another ongoing issue with these vehichles that Chevrolet doesn't want to stand behind.

The fuel gauge usually stays on empty, however two days after I fill up it will go to half a tank for about a day and then go back to empty. They quoted me about $300 for fix the problem. In the meantime, I have to use the gallons used option to monitor my gas situation.

Bought a used 2005 Trailblazer. Had it for one week when the check engine light came on. Dealership said to check my gas cap. I did and the light went out. Happened every time I put gas in the car. Now the light never goes off. Now the gas gauge doesn't work and the low fuel light stays on and the gauge registers empty. At first the gauge worked after the car warmed up. It's very cold outside and I really thought the cold was affecting it. Now its warm and the problem remains. Reading all of the other negative posts makes me mad. I think that Suss Pontiac in Aurora Colorado knew of the problem and band-aided it until my warranty ran out. I'll never buy from them again and I will not but another Chevy. Too bad since that is all my family used to buy. I'm all for buying American but in this case I'm going off shore. The US needs to focus on quality and not quantity. Very disappointed.

This is a pain right in the ass. Now the check engine light is on. The same thing happened to my friend's trailblazer. I just got a letter from GM indicating they are aware of the premature failure of the fuel sensor and will pay half the cost to have it fixed at a dealer or reimburse half if it's already been fixed. BULL! If they know this is a major problem, they should pay for all of it! Now all of the dash lights are going out - not sure if it's related.

I'm getting rid of it and buying a Ford Explorer.

I am getting pretty tired of my "American" made car! The fuel sensor went out 2 years ago and I have not had the money to fix it. I have ran out of gas many times as counting mileage doesn't always work. GMC recognized that it is a problem in 2005/2006 Trailblazers, sent me a letter and only offered to pay half!!! And I had to go to an authorized dealer... Well If I am using my money too can't I go where I want? Where it isn't going to be as much?? I am super annoyed but don't have the $$ or the credit to go buy a real car.... a HONDA!

I HATE THIS DAMN CAR, IT IS NOW 2011 AND WE'VE PROB PUT ENOUGH MONEY INTO THIS POS TO BUY A NEW CAR. THE GAS SENOR BROKE FOR THE FIRST TIME AT 33OOO MILES AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT BROKE AGAIN AROUND 66000 MILES NO WARRANTY COVERED IT. WE DIDNT FIX IT BC IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUDN 700 BUCKS TO FIX, SO WE LEFT IT, FINALLY FIXED IT AROUND 116000 MILES AND WAM NOW AT 138000 MILES AND THE DAMN THING BROKE AGAIN. I REFUSE TO FIX IT AGAIN.

NOT ONLY HAVE WE HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT, THE TRANSMISSION WENT IN 2009 AND THAT WAS 2600 DOLLARS, THE POWER SEAT BROKE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST 1200 OR MORE TO FIX, SO I ADJUSTED THE PEDDLES TO REACH MY FEET SINCE THE SEAT WAS STUCK ALL THE WAY BACK. THE SEAT DECIDED TO WORK AGAIN ON IT'S OWN. MY CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING EXCEPT FOR THE NAVIGATION CD ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, AND THE CAR IS JUST ALL AROUND A PIECE OF CRAP. IT WAS SO NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

I WILL NEVER EVER OWN A CHEVY AGAIN. OH AND THE THERMOSTAT SENSOR WENT LAST YEAR AND THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, 800 DOLLARS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW OFF. REALLY HOW ARE THEIR NO RECALLS ON THE CAR??!!!! IT SUCKS!!!

I bought my 2005 Chevy Trail Blazer 2 years ago. Now within the last month my fuel light will go on and it will start dinging. I've filled it all the way up and the gas gauge still stays on and the stupid thing won't stop dinging. I'm really getting tired of putting gas in it everyday because I'm afraid of running out of gas. Looks like I'm not the only one with the problem. So the Chevy company needs to get there butts in gear and do a recall. If your like everyone else in America we can't afford that big expensive repair bill.

I agree with the others- I keep it listing the trip miles then I know when to fill up- my sister drove my car not knowing fuel light wasn't working- put in gas to be sure on not running out!!! IF I understand the "recall" I received - I will have to pay for part of the parts/labor to have this fixed--- I will not--- I will suffer before I have to pay for a problem GM should pay for !!!

Update from Nov 14, 2011: I checked out what it would cost me to fix this over $175.00 as GM only pays a part to fix it! this is bad- when I had recalls with my Ford Explorer- I NEVER had to pay to have it fixed!!!! Guess I'm still watching the trip miles for estimation of how much gas I have left in tank!!!!! this is baloney!!!

Much like every other unfortunate Trailblazer owner of this model, my gas gauge stopped working. I haven't seen my "Low Fuel Light" turned off since about a month after I bought the vehicle. Three times we have run out of gas in it due to this issue, and that was primarily because we had to determine exactly how many miles we got to a tank and how often to refuel. Now, like clockwork, we fill the tank every 300 miles.

We checked with GM, and while they acknowledge over 150,000 complaints for the same exact issue, they still refuse to recall the vehicle or part. A quote from both a dealer and an independant repair shop quoted over $900 to fix it. This is the number one reason I am searching for a replacement car or truck.

I regret ever switching from the Ford brand I've always driven or had in my family since birth to Chevy. They don't stand behind their products, their repair prices are astronomical, and it's nearly impossible to do many repairs yourself like tune-ups or changing the headlight bulbs. Major disappointment from Chevrolet and their customer service. Will not buy another Chevy/GM product again.
