The vehicle would have to be jumpstarted in order to restart. The failure recurred, but the vehicle would not restart.

The mechanic replaced the vehicle's battery, auxiliary water pump, starter, and alternator; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired.

My wife was going approximately 60 MPH on the highway. The fuel gauge read that the tank had a little over a 1/2 of a tank left. The vehicle stalled and she almost crashed into the ditch. When she started the vehicle back up the tank read empty. My wife and kids had to wait by the side of the road in over 100 degree weather for over an hour until I was able to get away from work and take her fuel. We went directly to the gas station and put in $50 of fuel and the gauge still read empty. We have continued to put in fuel and the needle moves back and forth and always settles back on empty and the no fuel light always come on. I have no idea how much fuel there really is at this point. I am afraid to let my wife drive the vehicle any longer. This could have been a real bad situation. If my wife hadn't been able to control the vehicle and they would've crashed on the highway they could all be dead right now. I have read on other pages that this is a continuing problem and that chevy does not want to pay for the repair. I guess they won't until people start dying from this. I will never again buy a chevy vehicle.

Car felt "stuck" in gear, wouldn't accelerate, low on transmission fluid. Added more fluid, replaced speed sensor, camshaft & crankshaft sensors. Still having issues with rpms going high, car slamming from one gear into another. Also cannot run heat while driving, fan draws power & causes engine to stall out. Car also burning through gas very quickly.

The fuel gauge in my chevrolet trailblazer ext failed resulting in the vehicle stalling on a busy road. This is the second time that the gauge on this car has malfunctioned (was repaired by the dealer after a similar incident about 2 years ago). At this time, the gauge once again does not work at all.

I have a 2006 chevy trailblazer. Since my vehicle hit 69000 miles my fuel gauge has become inoperable. I have tried to get it fixed but it is $1300 and no guarantee that it will not happen again since the part has not been changed. It stalls on many occasions as if I have no gas. I have run out of gas so I know how many miles I can go.

On several occasion over the past year my fuel gauge in my 2004 chevrolet trailblazer lt has read inaccurately leading to breaking down due to the vehicle running out of gas while the gauge was still reading at least 1/4 tank moments before the engine stalls. On all occasions I was driving on the freeway the gauge showed 1/4 tank and then all od a suddenly dropped to e with the fuel warning light coming one. Within a few miles of this sudden drop and the warning light coming on the engine would stall due the vehicle being out of gas. I have complained to my local dealer on several occasions and all they have offered to me is to replace the sending unit, which in this model is integrated with the fuel pump at the cost of almost $800. This seem wrong to me. Now that I have read that this seems to be a problem on these types of vehicles I am even more upset that the local dealership told me my issue is an isolated issue and they have never heard of any problems with the fuel gauges in these vehicles.
