2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer: wrong fuel gauge reading

Filed Jul 15, 2020 · Fuel system · IN

Gas gauge doesn't work. Needle on e and light stays on. Person I bought it from reports broken when she bought it used. I trip mileage to o when I get gas. Then by # of gallons I put in I estimate how many miles I think I can travel. It's not always possible to keep tank filled.

The gas gauge quit working! I just put 50.00 dollars in my gas tank and drove 12 miles to get my three grandchildren. We were on the freeway going 64 miles per hr in the fast lane. I had to immediately get over three lanes to get off the freeway but only made it to the slow lane. I had to call 911 because it was a very dangerous situation. I almost got hit eight times waiting for the state trooper to get to me so he could push us out of harms way with his patrol car. I can't believe this wasn't a recall! This is a big safety issue please do something about this.

Erratic fuel gauge. Fluctuates constantly between full and empty. This occurs whether the vehicle is in motion or at a stop. Whether the tank is full or partial does not matter. Cannot rely on gas gauge any longer. Could cause a stall while in motion which would be a serious safety concern. There are thousands of complaints regarding this matter all over the internet. A recall should be put in place. Before someone dies.

Fuel gauge does not provide accurate reading. Check engine light indicates fuel level sensor. I do not know if there is fuel unless I reset the trip odometer and monitor.

While driving on the highway the loe beam lights flickered on and off and shut off for a couple of seconds. The driver door window switch continually malfunctions while driving and stationary windows won't roll up or down and the fuel level gauge works sometimes and other times it won't

When I fill the fuel tank, the fuel gauge shows empty and the low fuel light comes on and the low fuel alarm will ding. Sometimes the gauge will go up and then back down. Sometimes, the gauge will show correctly but you are never sure. This occurs when moving or sitting on a slope or on flat ground.

The ignition will not turn off unless the bright lights are on. At times, it will start automatically even when the ignition switch is turned off. Sometimes the ignition will not turn on or off at all. Fuel system is faulty. Consistently problems have caused the fuel pump to go out repeatedly, and the fuel gauge to stop working. Motor in the drivers seat stopped working after months of problems. The radio has stopped working. We've replaced the fuse, and have been told its an electrical problem.

Fuel gauge read full tank when in fact the tank was empty. I ran out of gas in my driveway. When this occurred my on dash computer went crazy lighting up then turning off, when I put gas in the car and restarted several times the computer seemed to correct itself. Filling the tank the gauge read empty and remained that way for several days. The gauge operates intermittently. I recently had the fuel pump replaced after failure. The pump was replaced prior to this incident. I have scheduled the gauge repair with my dealer.

After picking up my husband from work, we stopped at a store, where I stayed in my chevy trailblazer while hubby went in, I happened to lookover at gauges and noticed the fuel gauge slowly going down. When hubby came out of store I had him check to see if we had a fuel leak, and nothing seemed to be leaking. We left store and gas gauge continued to decrease until light came on and gauge reads empty. This started about a week ago and continues to be an issue.

Inaccurate fuel level reading. In november, my fuel gauge and driver information center began to spontaneously read erratically and would not accurately show me how much gas I had. Condition has rapidly progressed to where the fuel gauge almost constantly reads empty, low fuel light is illuminated and fuel level low is displayed in the dic. In researching this issue, I found service bulletin no. 10054b which states it is a premature wearing of the fuel sensor and I should have received a mailed notice from gm regarding this known issue. I have not received any such notice. There are no recalls associated with my VIN and my warranty has now expired so there will not be "vehicle eligibility" for the dealer to confirm through the "applicable warranties section in the global warranty management system." this issue is bigger than publicly acknowledged by gm and needs to be a full recall, not a 50/50 shared responsibility with the customer when gm acknowledges the issue is due to a faulty part that prematurely wears and causes the malfunction. Also, the entire fuel pump including the sending unit and fuel level sensor needs to be replaced, not just the fuel level sensor.
