Trailblazer 2005 fuel gauge failure, speedometer intermittent failure, vehicle lunges at idol or shuts off approaching stop/brake. Almost causing accident. Been to repair and intermittent problem not identified. Fuel system flushed. Speedometer issue same. Fuel gauge currently not working properly, unreliable.
Fuel level sensor failed twice on 2005 chevy trailblazer.
Fuel gauge sensor on a 2005 trailblazer has gone out, fuel gauge reads empty at all time. This could potentially cause a serious accident especially if the vehicle were to run low on fuel at highway speeds and be hit by another car from behind. Even more dangerous for those who may be using the vehicle to travel somewhere for medical attention. This is a known problem among gm vehicles and yet they have issued no recall as of yet. There is a website here; http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/chevrolet-trailblazer/tbdhfg6khcmspa4m1/p10 with over 200 trailblazer owners with the identical problem and I'm sure there are many many many more.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated that when filling the vehicle with gasoline fuel, the fuel level indicator would read fuel levels at empty. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 72,000.
Chevy trailbazer 05... Gas gauge keeps moving from low to empty back to full,sometimes it stays at empty. Check engine light stays on. Fuel sending unit keeps failing. Unit was replaced in 2007 at dealership. Sending unit has gone bad again. Very expensive labor needed to fix this. When I fixed the first time I had warranty now it has expired. I checked online and it seems like everyone with a chevy trailblazer is having the same problem also my..to my knowledge this is a completely defect of the car. My major fear is to run out of gas on the highway and my car to stall. Leading to an accident.....also the instrument panel light keep getting darker..sometimes several lights come on.
2005 chevy trailblazer gas light constantly on and showing empty. Replacement will be between 700-1000 dollars for the fix. Must use mileage to gauge when I need fuel. This has been this way since 2006. This seems to be a huge problem with this vehicle. Thankfully, I have not had an accident or been rear-ended, but this needs to be investigated and fixed by chevy.
I just got my 2005 trailblazer 2 week ago and the car lot fail to inform us that the gas gauge was broken,, I was on my way home witch was over an hour away and my car ran out of gas, I had my 4 year old son with me and we had to walk in 90 degree weather to get gas,, and my son got a sun burn on his face and arms, I believe that if my gas gauge was working then I would have never been stranded along side of the road with my son.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated that his fuel gauge did not display the actual amount of fuel in the vehicle. Whenever the vehicle was refueled, the gauge would display an empty reading. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the vehicle needed a new fuel sending unit. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The current mileage was approximately 125,000.
My 2005 chevy trailblazer has suddenly stopped tracking the fuel amount, it has caused me to not know the amount of gas in the vehicle, I have also done research on the issue and many trailblazer owners have the same issue. To have my vehicle suddenly stop is inconvenient and dangerous, especially when I am traveling on the interstate.
I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer and the fuel gauge does not work. For a brief period after fill ups, it would stick on empty and a chime would ding. Eventually it would start to work. However, now it is completely not functioning. This creates a huge safety concern as one never knows the fuel level of the vehicle. I have done extensive search on the internet and this is a common problem in many chevy trailblazers. A local dealer said that it was a sensor and could cost between 800-1200 dollars. I think a recall is order since this is such a common problem. A simple google search "2005 chevy trailblazer fuel gauge problem" is sufficient evidence to conclude that gm should recall this part.
I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. My fuel gauge no longer works. The only way I can track how much gas I have is by keeping up with my mileage. When I took it to my local dealer I was told that this was a very common problem in trailblazers and that it would cost $500-$600 to repair. When I did a quick search online I found hundreds and hundreds of other trailblazer owners with the same complaint! I believe this is a safety issue and want to know why this wasn't a recall! I got no assistance from the general motors and was only told to "go through my dealer."dealer didn't care. One minute it says I have gas then the next, empty.
I was putting gas in my 2005 chevy trailblazer.. When I left the gas station the empty light stayed on.... Now it is stuck on empty.
Chevy trailblazer '05 fuel gauge defective. Causes vehicle to run out of gas, which on highways and intersections is a vital danger, not to mention single women driving at night being stranded on the road! Just read a blog, 388 posted the exact same problem. The fuel sensor is defective and we request a recall.
Gas gauge on my 2005 chevy trailblazer is defective. It stopped working at 55000 miles and the chevy dealership wants over $600 to replace. I've been reading up on this and have found that this is happening all over to a lot of owners. I have no way to know how much fuel I have and have ran out on the interstate in the middle of winter 4 miles from nearest town with little cell phone coverage. Only way I can guestimate when to put fuel in is by going by the trip odometer. I commute over 400 miles weekly on the interstate but can't afford a $600 repair bill for something I feel should be recalled.
Fuel gauge in my 05 chevy trailblazer just quit working causing me to run out of fuel on the freeway.
My 2005 chevy trailblazer is at the dealership at this moment due to malfunction in the instrument cluster panel. First my gas gauge went out 3 months ago and now my speedometer is broken - shows I am going 60 when I am at a stop or it may go down to 30 at times. It will cost $500 for the cluster and $550 for the fuel sensor. I called gm to see if they will pay for repairs but have not heard a response yet.
Fuel level sensor installed on model 2005 chevrolet trailblazer vehicles is defective and could result in vehicle running out of gas.
About 3 weeks ago, I stopped at a local gas station and filled up my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. When I crank the truck, I noticed my gas light was on even after I fully filled the stop. I was baffled by this knowing I'd just spent $50 for a fill-up and I had begin to think there may have possibly been something wrong with my gas tank. I searched and asked other trailblazer owners and learned that it's my fuel sensor that's the problem as they have experienced the same issue with their vehicle. This seem to be a issue with this make an model and I shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for chevrolet's problem.
I have a '05 chevrolet trailblazer and about a week ago my gas gauge start to go crazy. I fill it up with gas and the needle went to empty. It start moving up and it went back to empty and stay there. I don't know how much gas I have now and went it is empty or not. Please look in to this. I know I'm not the only one with this problem.
I have a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer that has a dashboard cluster failure. My speedometer and gas gauges do not work. I have no idea how fast I am going and how much gas I have left in my tank. This has been going on now for over a month. There are thousands of complaints on the internet from angry owners describing speeding tickets, running out of gas, odometer failing, dashboard lights dimming and warning lights appearing. Gm is failing to take ownership of this defect and dealerships are charging $550 to $650 for repairs.
Gas gauge shows empty even though there is fuel in the tank. Light stays on even after putting gas in the tank!
2005 trailblazer fuel sensor unit. I received a call from mr. Turner, from the executive office at general motors, detroit michigan, concerning the many letters I have sent to general motors. 'in a nutshell' he said 'gm has not received any complaints about the fuel sensor unit and basically I was not being truthful concerning the unit' I referred, him to this particular web site and his comment was 'if complaints was not coming from the customers or dealer, the comments was basic useless' he suggested, that I take my vehicle to the chevrolet dealer, at that point they would determine the problem and 'maybe' they 'might do something' in other words, you are out of luck. I would suggest that everyone bombard the president / ceo of general motors with complaint letters concerning the fuel sensor or contact mr. Turner at the number he gave me [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Fuel gauge does not recognize the real fuel level. I have seen this in several other trailblazers as well as silverado trucks that my friends have owned.
I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer with a fuel problem. I think it's the fuel sending unit. The fuel gauge reads empty at all times even after afull fill up. When I googled this question the results I got were astounding at how many other people were having this same problem. I feel that if it were a once in awhile thing that happens no big deal but this seems to be a known problem with this vehicle. I have spoken to 3 different auto mechanics and even they say it crazy that's there's no recall on it as it a manufacturing problem.
I've had my 2005 trailblazer for 5 yrs now and the last 4 months the fuel gauge has been acting up. I fill it up and the gauge still reads empty. It takes a few days to finally get the reading right but after a day or so it goes back to empty. Being in the military and having the vehicle as the primary for my wife and kids time is limited for her to take it while I am away overseas. My wife was and kids were stranded on the highway while roadside assistance came to finally came around with fuel. Reading numerous complaints about the same problem with other chevy owners there should be a recall on the vehicle. This will be my last time purchasing a chevy. Keeping track of mileage is ridiculous, in today's economy purchasing a good product is priority one and it is a shame that a giant car company can admit that they have a problem on there hands. Safety should be priority one!!!!!
I have a 2005 chevy trailblazer. The fuel gauge keeps showing empty when the tank is full. I almost got into and accident on the beltway today because my car just shut off of the highway. Luckily I was able to glide to the side of the road without killing anyone or myself. Some friends from work brought me some gas which got me home as soon as I was a block away from my house the car shut off again. Again I had to refuel just to get to the complex where I live. I had my two children in the car and only god knows what could happen if I just shut down and I have a speeder behind me. I have seen many other chevy owners voicing their complaints about this same issue. I hope that someone does not have to die for them to do something about it like the toyota dealers. Is their anyway that chevy can be held accountable for these defects. Concerned parent.
2005 chevy trailblazer fuel gauge is defective. I fill up my tank and it still says empty.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated while driving at approximate speeds of 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The fuel level gauge indicated there was half a tank of fuel in the vehicle yet the tank was empty. The failure would occur intermittently and because she was unable to determine the exact amount of fuel in the vehicle, she would fill the tank completely within every 200 miles. The vehicle had not been to the dealer for a diagnostic or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000 and the current mileage was 68,000. Updated 12/02/10 *bf updated 12/07/10
2005 chevrolet trailblazer. The fuel gauge stopped working without warning. *dt the consumer stated it didn't matter how much fuel was in the gas tank, the gauge read empty and the amber warning light and alarm intermittently engaged, even when the fuel tank was full. There was no way to accurately confirm how much fuel was in the vehicle at any given time. While enroute to the dealer, the consumer ran out of gas. The consumer finally made it to the dealer and upon inspection, the consumer was informed the fuel sensor was defective and needed to be replaced which required the gas tank to be removed from the vehicle.
