2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 370: wrong fuel gauge reading

Filed Oct 12, 2018 · Electrical, Fuel system · OH

The whole instrument cluster does not work anymore, does not let me know how fast I'm going or how much fuel I have, oil pressure gauge doesn't work, temperature gauge doesn't work... Why hasn't this been recalled? This is very dangerous, considering I have 4 kids that are constantly in the car with me and I have no idea what is going on with my vehicle?? And it also tells me that my fuel level is low, even after I fill my tank. This seems like a very common problem in these vehicles, why has it not been considered a safety issue????

I bought 2005 chevrolet trailblazer and the fuel gauge is defective. It is crazy to hear beep sounding all the time telling me the gauge is empty when I know for sure is not. I wish it could be fixed, because I have many others things in my plate that need to worry, I really don't need another one.

Fuel gauge has been ready empty for several months. I looked on internet to see how to fix or possible problems. I noticed there was a letter sent years ago to the affect that gm would cover half the cost to repair, up to 10 years in service or 100,000 miles. When I contacted dealer the car was in service 10 years and 2 weeks and has 84,000 miles. I was informed gm will not help cover expense for repair do to time in service. I am questioning if this could become a recall or extended in service dating for this problem.

Passenger air bag light not working and coming on when no passage. Check engine light has been on since 2006. Seat belts in 2nd row seating don't lock. Radio broke 2006 replaced after fixed cd player will not play or eject. Air conditioner only blows out hot air after hundreds dollars to fix it. Both head lights blow out at least every 2 months they need replaced. Drivers side break light n tail light keep blowing went to auto store get more bulbs and the tail light caught on fire employees helped me and said they seen the trailblazers do it before due to water building up in it and that that's the reason the bulbs blow. Paid out 300$ in tickets cuz of them blowing n not knowing. The hot and cold air in second row don't blow out at all. A bike parked by me and my back window exploded. Windshield vision is cloudy. Gas gauge, speed ad temp gauge stopped working had replaced now battery gauge broke. Only 1, and 2 worked on heat control and 2 vents worked. Bottom of both sides of car rusted 2 years ago. I had it paid of in 3 years and wish these problems were made available before I did. I've already put thousands of dollars in it and the same thing breaks again and windows in front broke too.my blazer has bee in the garage since january cuz as soon as my husbands gets it out the shop it needs to go right back and we cant afford to fix it nomore I love my blazer and don't want him selling it or trading it in s if you have any advice that would help please tell me. I've been keeping it hoping to get it fixed again but I also have a disabled grandson and custody of a 2 year old that have apts n therapy 4 times a week and need a car but I love it and cant part with it. Please let me know if there a certain way to fix these problems I can do myself so I can keep it..thanks

Gas gauge, shoes it has a different amount of gas.. When turned off it can say its at 1/2 a tank, then when the engine is on it shows that car has 1 1/2 tanks of gas. Its not consistent and I always have to guess how much gas is in the car. Also the check light is always on. The gas tank has issues too.

At this time the speedometer started misreading and continues through today. Then the fuel gauge stopped reading and after that the oil pressure gauge & amp gauge started misreading. I talked to the local chevrolet dealership and they told me I would have to pay for the repairs.

The dash component went out, leaving all of the gauges broken, including the speedometer and gas gauge. Also, the fuel sensor is broken so in order to have a working gas gauge, both the dash system and the fuel sensor must be fixed. The doors lock automatically and sometimes won't unlock if they were locked when the car was turned off until the car is turned on again. It takes them 2 weeks to fix the problem!! Meanwhile, we have run out of gas, almost causing an accident, and continually have to gauge our speed by the speed of others around us, if we are lucky to be traveling where there are others who hopefully are doing the speed limit. It's going to cost about $1500 to fix it all and have a rental car for the 2 week period it takes them to fix it. It can't be fixed by a non-gm service center because gm has to reprogram the electrical system once it is fixed so it would then have to be towed to a gm dealer anyway and would cost even more. Meanwhile, we and those driving around us are at more risk because of these defects.

Fuel gauge will read wrong. The gauge will suddenly drop down to empty and then will slowly start to rise back up after sitting on empty for a while. Also my vehicle will just stall out at red lights or when I am stopped in traffic. I will have to put my car into park and restart it quite often. This is obviously a major problem and there should be some recalls on this. This is a safety issue. I have read of peoples cars stalling out while they are driving down the highway and am personally scared of this happening to me while I am transporting my children around.

Today, 02/28/2012, I noticed that the fuel gauge on my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer ext was fluctuating between half full and full after adding 19 gallons of gas to the truck. This is the first time I have noticed this problem and am aware that many other individuals have had this problem on their trailblazers. I am hoping there will be a recall in the near future.

Fuel gauge failure. Fuel gauge still reads empty after tank is full. The gauge will register having fuel some of the time, most of the time the low fuel indicator will come on. I have to use the odometer to remember to refuel.
