Fuel gauge no longer reads correctly. Problems began several weeks ago with a gasoline fill up. The gauge did not read correctly (empty) but righted itself after several miles. The gauge no longer corrects itself and reads empty practically all of the time, even when there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
2007 trailblazer at 51000 mi. Fuel gauge reading incorrectly after filling it would read ok for aprox. 100mi. Then drop to empty. Now 10,000mi later it is permanently on empty. I am driving using the trip meter. I think this should be recalled for safety reasons.
Fuel gauge sensor malfunctioning. Fuel gauge sensor malfunctioning and will read empty after filling the tank and cause the service engine and low fuel lights to illuminate.
The failure is the fuel gauge, I have ran out of gas three times because of this issue. Nothing has been done with this as of yet, will cost $600 to repair, everyone with this type of truck has this issue.
Fuel gauge on my 2007 chevy trailblazer does not give consistent readings. The needle moves up and down and signals the tank is empty while the vehicle is in use regardless of actual fuel level. This occurs every time I drive the vehicle. I am looking to fix the issue.
Filled by my 2007 chevy trailblazer yesterday and the fuel gauge reads empty and the fuel light stays on. Took my vehicle to the dealer and was told that I missed the warranty by 3,000 miles and it will be almost $800 to repair. Have read online that hundreds of consumers are experiencing the same problem with the same type of vehicle from 2005-2007 so there is obviously a defect in the manufacture. This needs to be looked into and handled, it is obvious the dealer needs to recall these vehicles and correct the problem.
Fuel gauge on the 2007 chevy trailblazer has failed at less than 40,000 miles. Not knowing the level of fuel is a definite safety hazard. Problem is very common according to dealer. Cost to repair is from $600 to $1,000. Gm should be made to recall these vehicles.
Fuel gage read 1/4 of a tank and ran out of gas on the side of the road in the winter with two small children in the car. Since the incident my fuel gage read all over the board and eventually only reads empty. I have meet many other people with the same make/model with the same issues

2007 trailblazer fuel gauge reads empty even after fueling. Research shows it is a prevalent failure in this model. Monitoring the odometer is the only way to estimate remaining fuel. It can be dangerous not knowing correct amount of fuel remaining.
2007 chevrolet trailblazer fuel gauge drops to "empty" and indicator light comes on. Happens when actual fuel level reaches approximately half a tank of gas.
Fuel gauge fluxuates you never know how much you have it will show you have a full tank it may be half or empty, it might show empty and will float any part of the gauge quarter or half full. This could cause a serious accident, at one time we thought we had a half tank of gas and ran out of gas on an interstate fortunately we pulled off side of road and walked to get gas we were out of gas. The only way to know you have gas is to keep a check with odometer reading. The low fuel light will come on and then miles left will coincide with the low full light but you may have gas in the vehicle. It is never consistent. I will stay at a certain reading for several minutes or so then you don't know which way it will go. There should be a recall on this vehicle. It has only 37,582 miles or so. We bought it off a friend when his wife passed away, he bought it new.

The fuel gauge on my 2007 chevrolet trailblazer is faulty.I have ran out of gas several times when the gauge shows a quarter tank or less. No low fuel light,no gauge needle on empty,just a dangerous gauge that should be recalled by gm before someone runs out of gas on the freeway and gets ran over. My vehicle had 60,000 miles on it when the problem started. After some investigation,I discovered I am not the only one with this problem.
Turned on trailblazer and fuel gauge showed empty with gas light on. This now occurs everytime we turn on the SUV and cannot tell how much gas is in the tank. We are currently having to reset our mileage every 275 miles to make sure we don't run out of gas.
2007 chevy trailblazer fuel gauge quit working and constantly read "empty." this is my only transportation and this put me at risk both me and my family. Not knowing how much gas I have potentially put me at risk if I run out of gas while driving in heavy traffic or while on a trip. In the extreme heat it would be detrimental to have to walk to get gas. The risk of being stranded away from home or on a highway put my life in danger. The failure of the gas gauge and fuel detection unit occurred in january of 2010, which I couldn't afford to get fixed until recently, feb. 2011. To fix the problem cost me a mortgage payment, and put me behind one month. The fact that this is a known and common issue for these vehicles makes it apparent that the fuel detection system is defective and fixing it should be the responsibility of chevrolet. It is in the best interest of chevy to issue a recall on the unit to maintain consumer loyalty to the chevy brand. In the event I don't get reimbursed, I solemnly swear that I will not purchase another chevy or gm vehicles. Needless to say, I'll tell everyone I know about this, and do what I can to sway them not to buy a trailblazer due to this defect and the fact that chevrolet won't even acknowledge that there should be a recall.
Fuel gage sending unit shows that the tank is empty when it is full. It will work normally between 3/4 and 1/2 full and then drop to empty and sound warning chimes as if it is out of fuel. This is a huge annoyance and it is very common. I know 4 individuals that own trail blazers and all of them have had or are having this same problem. When talking to the dealership about this problem they told me that it is the number one problem among trailblazers.
2007 chevrolet trail blazer - fuel gauge does not give accurate readings. This recently started. Fuel gauge will indicate that the tank is empty / give warnings, and then only need 7 to 9 gallons to fill the tank. Tank capacity is like 16 gallons.
2007 chevy trailblazer fuel gauge no longer works and constantly reads "empty." the trailblazer is my wife's sole transportation and puts risk to both her and my 3 year old daughter. In the instance that she runs out of gas due to her inability to know how much gas she has she is at risk of being stranded with my 3 year old daughter in the 100 degree texas heat. Additionally, the risk of her being stranded away from home or on a highway puts her life in danger. The failure of the gas gauge and fuel detection unit occurred in january of 2011 and has not operated properly since. To fix the problem will cost $700. The fact that this is a known and common issue for these vehicles makes it obviously apparent that the fuel detection system is defective and the responsibility of chevy. It is in the best interest of chevy to issue a recall on the unit to maintain consumer loyalty to the chevy brand. Otherwise, I am commiting to no longer purchase chevy or gm vehicles.
The fuel gauge does not read the proper level. Even if I fill the tank the gauge reads empty. Previously when the tank would reach half full the gauge would read accurately. However; each time I filled up that level where the gauge would begin to work would decrease, and now it does not work at all. When there is approximately 1/8th of a tank left the gauge will read erratically, sometimes saying 1/4 full or empty. Also, this fuel level sensor has triggered the check engine light to register on the dash, when diagnosed by the dealer they told me it was the fuel level sensor triggering the code and not an issue with the truck emissions.

After filling my car up with gas, the fuel light began blinking and dinging with the gauge dropping to the empty level. I called a service center in victoria to inquire as to what they thought it could be and made an appointment to have it checked out. The center called me back telling me my warranty would not cover the visit and it would cost me approximately $140 just for them to look at it. I then made some calls to several auto parts stores to inquire the same and looked up online any recalls that may have been done in re to this issue. I cannot afford to get this fixed on my own. There is a smell of gas at times and it continues to fluctuate from empty to full, etc. I am a home health nurse and am on the road constantly. The car is also using more gas than usual and it is very difficult to determine how much I actually have in the tank. The smell of gas is nauseating and causes headaches. The idea of running out of gas in a secluded area is frightening. I don't even know where to start as far as parts because technicians have told me it could be multiple things I feel like gms should be responsible for fixing this defect before something tragic happens. After going on line I noticed numerous consumers withthe same complaints and no resolution. The engine also had been on.
