The fuel gauge does not read properly. The vehicle has run out of gas numerous times because of the false reading. *bf *sc the consumer was told the fuel tank would need to be removed to determine the problem.

Fuel gauge ceases to function. Will correctly register full tank. As fuel is burned, the gauge level goes down until it reads half full, then starts going back up. When the tank is nearly empty, the gauge will read full. This is a common defect among blazer owners, and gm acknowledges it in their service bulletins but no service solution is provided.

Consumer stated that fuel gauge was giving wrong readings. She ran out of gas on a busy highway because fuel gauge indicated that she had full tank when she did not. Also, consumer complained about windshield wipers. Windshield wipers worked intermittently. Windshield wipers could come on, and then stop. Consumer could not get them started again. She had to wait.

I have a 1997 chevy s-10 blazer lt. I am having problems with the fuel gauge. I fill the tank and it reads full, I use the car and when it gets down to half tank the gauge starts going back up to full....I am empty when it reads full. This has been repaired once under waranty, but after about a year it started again. Chevy wont pay for it again because the warranty is out.

I am having a lot of problems with my 97 chevrolet blazer. The seat belt buckles in the back seat only work part of the time. The gas gauge does not work. I fill up and it registers on empty after 2 miles. The electrical system seems to be malfunctioning. As I drive, interior lights flash on & off or the outside lights dim when driving at night. The leather seat is ripping on the driver's side and I weigh 120 pounds, so you would think it would be sturdier than that. What else can go wrong???

Fuel gauge not working properly, never go under one half tank reading. I talked to two other owner of the same make & model, and they said they have the same problem.
