Was parked at job site after having filled fuel tank. Low fuel alarm and light came on. When started vehicle gas gauge registered empty. After several off/on sequences for the ignition, fuel gauge would only register empty. Had repaired same day from dealer. Was told this was a warranty issue, and our deductible was 50% ($175). I told dealer I would contact gm to get the "deductible" refunded. I will let you know how that goes. Three weeks ago the vehicle lost the #6 fuel injector and it took out the fuel injector control module (computer system??). Total cost from dealer was $1633.01. Contacted gm, was refunded $592. This a municipally owned vehicle, probably why we received refund.

The 06 trailblazer ran out of fuel on the freeway! There is a known recall on the trailblazer but gm will only pay half of the repair I think it is a safety issue and should have gm pay the complete cost!
The master control switch on driver side went out at the same time my front & rear vents stop working. I couldn't control any windows, mirrors, door locks, interior lights, etc. The heat/air/vent quit blowing out front & rear at the exact same time. We had vents (for air) fixed first. A dealership stated that the wires had burnt into. On june 5, 2012 we finally raised the $315.54 to fix the one problem. The control switch burn out also at the same time & will cost $463.45 to fix the control switch. I see this is an ongoing problem with several 2006 trailblazers (you can't order an aftermarket switch due to it has to be "programmed" through the dealer which charges $84.24 to whoever replaces it (even them at the dealership) after you purchase the switch. We live on disability (fixed income) and it takes several months to save for even one problem.
