2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 22: complaints 11 to 40 of 611, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The fuel level sensor is a very common problem. The tank is filled full but it will always read empty. I already have a refurbished cluster so it will not be the cluster's fault. Gm needs to recall the fuel level sensor to be fixed to avoid accidents on the road.
My gas gauge quit working, so I never know exactly how much fuel I have.
The gas gauge is not working and the fuel light stays on even when the tank is full of gas. Vehicle was stationary at a gas station when fuel gauge malfunctioned.
Nov.2013 was the frist time we had a proplem, right after that the oil gauge was not working. On an off we have noticed other type of problem that seem to be electrical. For the last year \year an half my gas is all over the place, always stopping to get gas as not to give out. Also, my gear and mileage gauge does not work. Now have no idea when to change the oil or rotate tires
Fuel gauge sensor not working properly. When fueling up, the gas gauge falls to 0, after turning the vehicle on and the low fuel sensor light comes on and dings. After a few miles the gauge goes to 1/4 of a tank indicating there is gas, but not indicative of actually what is in the tank. I have tried to reset my tripometer every time I fuel up, and then stop at the gas station and refuel every 240 miles. However this past weekend I ran out of fuel and the vehicle came to a stop on a major highway. I know now that this is also unreliable and will make it a point to stop at every 200 miles.
Fuel gauge always shows empty, not working. No way to know how much gas is in the car. Oil gauge not working.
Fuel gauge was on 1/2 tank. I went to the gas station to fill it up and all of a sudden the gauge meter went to the left and read "empty" and the low fuel light came on even though I had a full tank of gas. I restarted the truck and the fuel gauge meter still read low (less than a 1/4 tank), it eventually returned the to the 1/2 gauge/meter mark. Car was stationery at the gas station at time of the incident, then I eventually drove off at low speed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated that the fuel gauge displayed inaccurate fuel amounts. After filling the fuel tank with fuel, the fuel gauge displayed that the tank was empty. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 73,000.
Since 2011 I've been having wrong reading of gas levels causing my vehicle to shutoff. Plus my passager air bag displays on when no one is sitting in seat and when someone is sitting in passager seat it occasionally flicker on and off. However I have not had a incident just yet but I'm very concerned and don't feel safe driving with my kids in this vehicle.
Fuel gauge not working.
Car will not accelerate. Revs up really high without acceleration.
My gas gauge reads empty all the time even after a fill up. It never moves. Also I have replaced shocks and struts all the way around the vehical but every time you hit a bump in the road it shakes you from side to side really hard.
I went to the gas station and filled up my tank. I started my car and the gauge was not at the fill line. The gauge just bounced up and down and then went below the empty mark making the chime go off and the car red "fuel is low". This was on a secondary city street.
I purchased this truck brand new off the lot in may 2005. A few years after purchase the gas gauge stopped working, I attempted to search the web for recalls and there weren't any. Eventually it started working again on its own. So I didnt think anything else about it. Around 2009, or maybe later, it happened again. I then found out there was a way to get it replaced for free but it had stipulations. Less than 10 years old and under 100k miles. Well at the time it was 108k-115k miles and I was denied. I must admit I love my vehicle but to this day I have been fighting to get the pump replaced without having to pay for it as it was the companies fault. I calculate my miles based off the "trip" indicator on the dash. I know it seems silly, I mean it would be much easier to just invest, I'm a bit stubborn. So instead, when the thousands of people I know mention buying a car I just tell them dont buy a chevy, even if they have amazing cars. Truth be told not one family member has a chevy because of my incident and any new family members well they aren't allowed to have chevy either. Thanks for listening, I'm sure it wont matter, either way but these blogs and complaint forums make me feel better. (my car was in motion when it stopped working, travelling from one state to another, on a major highway)
Fuel gauge is not working properly. I checked with dealer and the federal safety agency website about this issue. The problem is that gm will not honor the service bulletin. According to gm I was mailed out a service notice on my vehicle in 2011 which I never received. # 10041526 . I checked with the gmc dealer about this service bulletin and the they told me to bring my vehicle in for repairs. Well the dealer called and told me that my vehicle was out of the parameters for a cost free repair. I bought this vehicle brand new back and 2005 and I have kept up with the repairs and maintenance. The dealership I have this serviced at over the years never did any repairs on this service bulletin. I am a oif army veteran and I can not currently afford this $900 repair. I told customer service at chevy about this and all they offered was a chevy loyalty car. Really your kidding me?
Fuel gage is not showing the fuel level , so it looks like its empty all the time automatic air bag passenger sensing system is malfunctioning and on windshield urethane bead may not have adhered to the body in certain areas during the cure process.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. After refueling the vehicle, the fuel gauge failed to provide an accurate reading. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.
Lights go out/dim while driving. No additional electrical items in use-heater, AC, GPS, radio, cigarette lighter. Does not appear to be affected or caused by speed, acceleration, deceleration. Fule tank will sometimes register empty while mostly full. Do not notice problem during daylight driving.
I noticed my battery guage quit. Then after starting my truck a few different times, the gas guage read differently. Then my speedometer wduld stick on 100 when I was doing approximatly 60. Then the speedometer would not work at all. There needs to be a recall on it. My friend has a 2005 also and her cluster pannel went out too. Its a 400.00 repair. This has happened to quite a few 2005 chevrolet trailblazers from what ive read online. Come on general motors. You need to recall these models.
Gas gauge registers empty regardless of amount of gasoline in tank.
This vehicle was knowingly sold with an existing failure to a warrantied part. The dealership failed to notify us, the prospective buyer about the failed part and has attempted to offer "hush money" to make their responsibility go away. The secondary air injection pump is known to be bad on the vehicle and the dealership refuses to repair it and just as stated offer hush money to make this problem go away. This type of behavior needs to stop and dealerships held responsible for their actions. A document with the information about the problem can be provided if needed to further investigation.
The fuel gauge does not work. The fuel gauge sets on empty regardless of how full the gas tank is.
The fuel gauge stopped working in my vehicle and by the time the recall occurred in 2013, my vehicle has more than the limited mileage of 120,000 or less to pay for half the repair cost. The speedometer failed to work at all back in 2009 as well.
Everytime I fill up my truck my gas needle go to empty . Now it's stay on empty.. I had ran out of gas twice . The first time I ran out of gas I was in columbus,ohio . I had an 1998 blazer and I had to get an new fuel pump cause the gas gauge was in the fuel pump . Something need to be done about this.
Vehicle fuel gauge stopped working when I turned off the vehicle.
We were driving on interstate 94 in north dakota and we heard a pop. By the time we pulled over there were flames up to the window on the drivers door. We quickly got out. Vehicle is a total loss. This should not happen. Date of accident was 10/31/2014.
Driving down man o war boulevard in lexington, ky - all of a sudden the gas gauge stopped working and went to empty. I called gm regarding this issue and they told me that they would not cover repairs for this defect. Since then I've ran out of gas with all 3 of my children in the car while moving at least 45 MPH down the road causing cars behind me to slam on their brakes. This in my opinion is a safety issue. It was their mistake and chevrolet should pay for the repairs to correct it.
I purchased my SUV in august of 2008 about a month later after pumping gas I noticed the fuel gauge spinning uncontrollably. Due to the warranty I purchase carmax fixed the problem at that time not it is 5 years later and exact same things has happened as well as all the other gauges spinning. Shortly, after the fuel gauge went out I notice the speedometer and the accelerator gauges doing the same thing. I have had my SUV for 5 years and has constantly complained about the gauges spinning back and forth.
My gas gauge had begun acting up. It would say empty even when filled. I would fill it up and the gauge would go to half then back up to full. I did not know for sure how much gas was in the vehicle. I was driving and the car stalled out because it ran out of gas even tho the gauge said full and I was rear ended.
