Gas gauge fluctuates between 3/4 full and empty, usually staying on empty.
- Lehi, UT, USA
Fuel gauge reads eradict. After filling, reads empty. Just keeps getting worse. Now it will read empty when I know there is at least 1/2 tank judging by the trip meter.
- Hudson, WI, USA
The gas tank ball sensor is defective and causes the environmental light to go on. The fuel tank always shows that its empty and can lead to people being stranded due to unknown amounts of fuel in the tank.

2006 Trailblazer with 46,000 miles on it and the fuel sensor has gone out. Gas gauge reads empty when the tank is full.
- Potosi, MO, USA
My 2006 Chevy Trailblazer gas gauge is not operational, I have read blogs and discussion boards and this defect is common on 06 Trailblazers. At the time of filling up your tank the engine warning light comes on and the gauge will swing to full and then gradually drop down to empty and the low fuel light will come on. Like myself, T here are a lot of owners depending on the "fuel used" indication and resetting at the time of fill up.

Fuel gauge stopped working. Gauge needle swings at random from full to empty.

Fuel gauge stopped working on 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer, went on-line and saw that many people have the same problem right after their warranty goes out.
- Middleburg, FL, USA
I have had numerous problems out of my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer, but all have been covered under warranty up until this point. I purchased my vehicle new with 18 miles on it. It is currently at 42K and I am just outside of my warranty. I filled my car up twice this week and the fuel gauge showed full as I left the gas station. By the time I got home ( approx 1 mile away ) the low fuel indicator turned on. I took my car to the dealership and they indicated that my fuel gauge censor has gone. I took it to the dealership and they refuse to repair it free. The cost is $457. Unfortunately it costs me about that much a month to keep the sucker gassed up so I cannot afford to 'give' GM any more of my money. I am driving it as it is and searching for a cheaper route to repair my vehicle. I have to children that I have to Transport around and I am terrified that I will run out of gas. This is such an extreme and unnecessary stress. Please help.
