Due to a mechanical failure, I had to have the fuel sensor replaced in my 2006 chevrolet trailblazer right after the warranty expired. The sensor was replaced and seemed to function properly until I was stranded on the side of the road a few months ago with my young child. The gas gauge was again giving false readings and my vehicle had run out of fuel. As it stands now, I will have replace the equipment for the second time in a vehicle that is only four years old. After my experience of suddenly having no fuel, I can certainly say it creates a dangerous situation while driving. If there had been more traffic in my vicinity, I don't know that I would have been as fortunate as I was.

After filling my 2006 trailblazer with gasoline, the gas gauge incorrectly read "empty". After the initial incorrect reading, my gas gauge has not been accurate since.

This is unacceptable for a vehicle with less than 75,000 miles and less than 5 years old.

I have an 06 chevy trailblazer and after some research on the internet I have found that the problem I am having with the sending units on my fuel pump is a rather common problem. Gm is well aware of this issue but seems to not care and only wants to collect the money for these replacement fuel pumps. I would like to see gm recall this and fix the problem for this, it is not just the trailblazer but the envoys and rainers. Seems to be a bigger issue with the trailblazers. Makes one wonder how many of these trucks have had this problem and not posted it on line and paid the 800 plus to fix it.

I own a 2006 chevy trailblazer and the gas gauge has stopped working. Apparently chevy is aware of this and it seems to be happening to a lot of vehicles in 2005-2006 years. At the dealership they told me they have repaired many and it would cost about $800. If they know the sensor goes bad and have repaired it several times - is it not a valid recall problem? If you google the problem you can see how many people are having the same problem. I am going to watch the mileage for now and do fill ups as needed by mileage. I am not in a position to put out that kind of money for a well recognized problem. I travel the country by vehicle and need to have a dependable vehicle. I purchased this vehicle 5 months ago and of course it started right after my warranty was through. Of course, I called the dealership and that is when they informed that it happens quite frequently and that the gas tank has to be dropped and the sensor replaced - timely and costly.
