2006 chevy trailblazer was reporting an empty gas tank after filling up and when I drove a few miles it would go up to full then back down to empty. Gas light and engine light keeps going on. Now the gas light is always on and engine light has also been on for a day or two. Chevy told me it is not covered under my bumper to bumper warranty they sold me.
2006 chevrolet trailblazer. The gas gauge shows the tank is empty even after fill up. The gauge will then go up and down from full to empty and back again. Have already ran out of gas when it first happened, the gauge showed less than half a tank and then showed no gas, but I was empty and dead on the road with the baby in the car in the middle of the night, alone.
I have just under 40,000 miles on my chevrolet trailblazer and the fuel level sensor began malfunctioning. It reads empty when the tank is full and even jumps from full to empty to full again.
The gas gauge in my 2006 chevrolet trailblazer lt simply stopped working. It only reads empty and it is causing the check engine light to come on now which will in turn cause my vehicle to fail state inspection this year.
My gas gauge quit working around 48,000 miles. It goes up and down. I ran out of gas this morning. Did research on line and it looks like hundreds of people are having the same issues. Was wondering if there has been a recall? I know there was one for the 04/05 models. Everyone that I read said it cost them about $800. I can not afford that especially for something that chevy already knew about. Shouldn't that have fixed before the 2006 models came out if they knew there was a problem with the 04/05??
Fuel gauge in 2006 chevrolet trailblazer malfunctions and shows empty even when tank is full.

2006 chevy trailblazer fuel gauge always read empty.
At about 45k miles my 2006 chevy trailblazer gas gauge has started to malfunction. I have read up on this issue and it seems to be a very common problem with gm suvs and trucks. The cost of fixing this is usually between $600-$1200 dollars. How can gm sit around and let thousands of customers go through this (all happening around 50k miles) without doing a recall?
2006 trailblazer lt fuel gauge no longer worked at 38000 miles dealer would not comment if there were lots of issues but doing some research it appears that about 400 people have complained.
Faulty fuel gauge.
I am the un-proud owner of a 2006 chevy trailblazer. The gas gauge quit working after getting gas one day. The gas light and my service engine light now stay on consistantly. I was told it will cost me around $800 to repair - $600 for labor and $200 for parts. I live in a rural area and a snowy part of the states and have a small child - this needs to be a recall issue. It is not safe to "guess" how many miles you can go on a tank of gas.
2006 chevy trailblazer. Fuel gauge does not function properly. Gm is aware of the issue but has not issued a recall. When fill up vehicle it reads empty at first after using some gas it registers (in beginning). Now it barely works at all. I have to use the trip odometer to measure approx gas remaining.
Fuel gauge doesn't work after fill up, car can run out of gas leaving people in peril.
My 2006 chevy trailblazer had only 60k miles on it when the fuel gauge quit working. It always reads empty so I have no way of knowing how much fuel remains in the tanks. I understand that many trailblazers are having this problem.
Fuel gauge no longer reads tank capacity after 50k miles.
I have a 2006 chevrolet trailblazer. Every time I fill up with gas, the gas gauge fluctuates and the empty light stays on. I have searched the internet and there are literally hundreds of people with this problem. My trailblazer has about 75,000 miles and it and has been having this problem for about a month. Gm needs to fix these fuel gauges, etc. Since it only happens when the car is out of warranty! They are aware of the problem and choose to do nothing! Please help the consumers!
Fuel gauge has stopped working completely. I was advised it was due t too much sulfur in the gas however feel it's poorly protected wires. If this has voltage to it and it is exposed is it a fire hazard?
2006 chevy trailblazer. Fuel level indicator malfunction. Fuel gauge shows "empty" and light appears and sound goes off indicating that tank is empty. Driver never knows if there is fuel or not which can lead to a highway breakdown. There is only 22,000 miles on the vehicle. Problem is ongoing.

My 2006 chevorlet trailblazer's gas gauge is defective. He dealer says that the sending unit is corroded. I undrstand that there have been many such failure in this vehicle and other chevorlet products.
The gas gauge on my 2006 chevrolet trailblazer will not work. Without the fuel gauge, it is possible for me to run out of gas at an inappropriate time and cause an accident. Nothing has been done to properly repair the vehicle since the cost is over $800.00 for a three year old car.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet trailblazer. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure was contributed to the lack of gasoline in the fuel tank. Roadside assistance was called to the scene. The contact stated that the fuel gauge displayed inaccurate readings at any fuel level capacity. The vehicle resumed normal operation after gasoline was added to the fuel tank. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 40,200 and current mileage was 60,000.
After fill up fuel gauge went to empty. I was erratic for a couple refills, but now quit working.
I have a 2006 chevy trailblazer with appr. 26,000 miles. Gas gauge reads empty even though tank is full. Have run out of gas twice. Now refill tank by logging miles.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet trailblazer. Whenever fuel was added to the fuel tank, the "empty fuel" indicator would appear on the fuel gauge. The failure occurred at any fuel level capacity and without warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the sending unit failed. Currently, the vehicle is being repaired. The failure mileage was 32,900 and current mileage was 33,493.
On my 2006 chevrolet trailblazer, the fuel gauge is now stuck on empty, even after a tank fill-up. There are numerous trailblazer owners who have posted identical issues on online blogs. The dealership will charge $800 for the repair, which includes dropping the fuel tank. With so many instances of this, gm should issue a recall. If trailblazer owners with stuck fuel gauges are not diligent on their fuel usage and don't have the means to pay $800 for a repair, they could end up stuck somewhere, out of gas which is a safety/liability issue in my view.
Fuel gauge will not work correctly and is on empty even though it was full of gasoline. The gauge is not working now at all and use tripometer to monitor mileage. Why, because the dealership wants over $900 to repair and I don't have the money. How many complaints does your office need to receive before a recall is done by the manufacturer? This is dangerous and very expensive and there is no reason a car with 40,000 miles on it to have this happen.
