This vehicle has had a number of electrical and /or computer problems. The first set of tires on the vehicle were worn out because the computer would say they had low pressure, so we would fill them and check them with the onboard tire pressure, otherwise it would continue to say the tires were low. The gas gauge goes from full to empty and back at least 10 times a day, they say at the service dept it's the fuel sending switch. Service stabilitrac warning comes on at various times. I think all warnings (lights and through the computer screen) have come on at least one time, some we had to stop the car and look up what the light was in the book. Now the ignition switch has something wrong, the steering wheel will not lock when the car is shut off and the key is removed. Then the car won't start unless you work the key and the switch. Today it started and then quit when you let go of the key and it goes to the run position. When you turn the key on, there is weird noise like electrical short or something. There have been problems with window switches and regulators.
2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer fuel system complaints
Page 9 of 12: complaints 221 to 250 of 311, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The gas gage on my 2007 chevy trailblazer fails to give accurate readings, even after filling it up, it can read full, or immediately drop to empty, or just constantly changes. I do highway traveling up to 200 miles back and forth to college and it is a constant distraction.
The fuel sensor on my 2007 chevy trailblazer has failed. The sensor would function when the vehicle was refueled. However, the dashboard gauge would quickly drop to "fuel level low." for the past few months, the sensor has failed completely and the fuel gauge always displays "fuel level low." . This is a very serious safety concern. Unexpectedly running out of fuel and not being able to monitor fuel levels puts owners with the same problem in a unnecessary compromised safety situation. I now monitor the level of fuel in the vehicle with the trip odometer gauge. I know that I have to refuel at around 300 miles from fill up.
I have a 2007 chevrolet trail blazer that has a faulty fuel gauge. After a fill up the gauge reads full for approximately 20 miles and then reads empty and I get a chime and fuel warning light. I cannot rely on this equipment and fear running out of gas and causing an accident.
The fuel sensor on my 2007 chevy trailblazer has failed. For the first 3 months of experiencing the problem, the sensor would function when the vehicle was refueled. However, the dashboard gage would quickly (less than 50 miles) drop to "fuel level low." for the past 9 months, the sensor has failed completely and the fuel gage always displays "fuel level low." I ran out of gas 3 times on the highway as a result of this problem. This is a very serious safety concern. Unexpectedly running out of fuel and not being able to monitor fuel levels puts owners with the same problem in a unnecessary compromised safety situation. I now monitor the level of fuel in the vehicle with the trip odometer gage. I know that I have to refuel at around 300 miles from fill up.
Fuel gauge does not register properly. Indicator remains on empty and low fuel indicator light stays on even after filling up.
Experienced inaccurate fuel gauge readings while driving.
Gas gauge does not read correctly. Sometimes reads high, sometimes reads low, reads empty after filling the tank. Gauge sometimes moves noticably while standing still. Dealer replaced the sensor on the fuel level sender at a cost of $393.39 - this fixed the problem.
The fuel gauge in our 2007 chevy trailblazer stopped working 18 months ago. The fuel gauge will randomly oscillate between empty and full as well. This has caused us to run out of fuel twice because we thought we had adequate supply.
My 2007 gm trail blazer's fuel gauge began to show an empty tank when I would fill it up, and then when I would drive for a while, it would register full. Eventually the engine light started coming on and going off at random. I took the vehicle to a garage and was told it would cost approx. $800.00. I could not afford that, so I started inquiring about the fuel pump and fuel sending unit. Eventually I found a web site where I could purchase the sending unit for approx. Half the retail price. I ordered the sending unit, took the vehicle to a garage to have it repaired and have not had any other problems with either the gauge not registering properly or the engine light coming on. If this investigation becomes a recall, since I have already made the repairs, can I be reimbursed? I would appreciate your response when your decision is made. Thank you.
I have 2007 trailblazer and the fuel gauge just decided it does not want to work anymore after my mother in law had it for like 8 months. I got it from them march 2010 and the gauge didn't work.... I have reported it to the dealer and "it is not covered". It is rather expensive to get fixed..... I have never gotten this fixed because it was not covered under warranty and I do not have the money to fix this. I think that this is kinda like a lemon law thing. Just thought I would report this and maybe get some help.. Surely mine is not the only one......... This should be covered or fixed free of charge because it is not something we have done to the vehicle..... **** the date of the incident is really unknown.. I do not remember because it started not working when my mother in law had it. But it stopped working when she had car an I got it in march of 2010. The mileage right now in 2011 is 75,000 so it is not wear and tear there's no way it can be......... Thank you-
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated the fuel sensor gauge failed. After refueling the vehicle, the gauge was still providing an empty reading. Later, while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle ran out of fuel due to an inaccurate fuel level reading. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for repairs or diagnosis. The manufacturer was not contacted. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Fuel gauge reads when tank is full but as fuel is used gauge will intermittently go to empty and alarm will sound. I cannot be sure how much fuel is ever in the tank. I must rely on the odometer readings to approximate the range remaining. I fear running out of gas and getting in an accident.
2007 chevy trailblazer gas sensor level. Gas gage always reads empty even when totaly full.
My 2007 chevy trailblazers' fuel gauge does not function at all. It randomly lost ability to gauge on and off for a month and now finally always reads empty. We ran out of gas on the interstate, believing we had fuel.
One day I was driving my trailblazer after I filled it up and a few miles down the road the gas gaugue went to empty.it does everytime time I fill up it will got to full then goes to epmty right down the road. Been doing since november 0f 2010 (88,000) and as of march 2011 (94,000) its still doing it. I have to calculate my gas milage. I called cox the dealership and they wont fix it for free there is no recall on this and there should be. There is hundreds of complaints about this. I was driving down the highway once in the fast lane with my 2 year old son and I ran out of gas and almost got hit by 2 cars behind me. I got stranded for 2 1/2 hours till I got someone to bring me gas. This needs to be recalled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 2007 trailblazer runs out of gas when gauge says full, have run out at 70 MPH without notice on highway. Have no idea when it is working or not will show full one minute then empty the next. Repair is costly and have resulted to resetting trip meter, however if I forget or sit in traffic more than usual it is not accurate. I have run out of gas more times in the last 6 months than my whole life. Very unsettling to be stranded not to mention unsafe to be in car not knowing when going to just stop. I have been told that it is the fuel sending unit. There are many many 2005 - 2007 trailblazer owners on numerous chat and complaint boards, why is there not a recall. I only have 65,000 miles this is ridiculous and not safe. Thank you for your time.
Fuel sender/gauge does not function. I bought this 07 trailblazer brand new and it only has 31k miles. Problem started to occur around 27k miles and the dealer advised it was not covered under warranty!!! You would think with 70 complaints about this same issue, chevy would do something about it!!! Very disappointing. I just wish that was the only problem...tire monitor doesn't work, the A/C electrical system failed, and the check engine light is always on.
Gas gauge does not work so we never really know exactly how much gas we have left which can result in it running out of gas on the highway putting myself or my wife and children in danger...
Fuel sender fails resulting in false report by fuel gauge as empty tank. Incidences started in december 2010, 4 months after vehicle purchase, approximately 17,800 miles driven on vehicle, 5,000 by second owner. Endangers driver by possibility of becoming stranded by running out of gas. Repair, not covered by manufacturer, is prohibitively expensive, $500+, due to possible need to replace more than just sensor. Incidents occur daily, as gauge sometimes resets on start up, then fails while driving, and sometimes immediately after start up. Well documented defect of fuel system online and by repair shops, claims of no responsibility of defect by chevrolet/gm.
Fuel gauge on my 2007 chevy trailblazer quit working suddenly at about 40k mile. Gm denies any recall in order, but seems to be a common problem across the country when I research it on the internet. Now they're giving me the run around about fixing it.
My 2007 chevrolet trailblazer's fuel gauge is no longer functioning properly. The vehicle has been receiving all preventive and scheduled maintenance and has approximately 64,000 miles. The problem started approximately two weeks ago (first week of february 2011) and has progressed to the point where it has completely failed. The gauge will indicate proper level when key is turned on but will drop to zero with low level light staying on almost immediately after the vehicle is started even if the fuel tank is full. This makes it very difficult for me to continue to allow my teenage daughter to use this vehicle as her primary transportation to school and work. Especially in the winter months where being stuck on the side of road in the country can be a matter of life or death. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership for estimate and the repair will reach between $600-900 since the vehicle is out of warranty. I understand from talking to professional mechanics and internet research that this problem is well documented and known to be the use of substandard parts in the fuel level sensors in the fuel tank. Even if my limited research is not conclusive, the number of incidents where this occurs seems to warrant a response from the company.
2007 trailblazer lt 58,000 mi. Fuel gauge only reads correctly when the tank is full. Anything less that 3/4 of a tank and the fuel gauge reads empty and warning light illuminates. Gauge will occasionally fluctuate between accurate reading and empty but more often than not just stays at empty. Never really sure how much gas is in the tank so have to go by the odometer reading. Vehicle is beyond warranty and dealer claims nothing wrong with part.
My fuel sender is blown. Gas gauge light is always on and reads empty. This is a huge problem with trailblazers and there is no recall because we have to call gm with the issues we have in order for them to have a recall. So please if anyone has a fuel gauge problem in your trailblazer please call 1‑866‑790‑5600 and lets get this rolling as a recall people.. The more people that call soon the faster the recall will happen. Let"s do this!!!!
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet trailblazer. Upon starting the vehicle, the fuel gauge displayed a reading of empty. The contact refueled the vehicle but the gauge showed a full tank for a moment then dropped down to empty. The check engine light also illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The failure and current mileages were 54,000.
I own a 2007 chevy trailblazer. 2 thousand miles after the warranty expired my fuel level sensor went out. I have come to find this is a huge problem with this vehicle and there should be a recall for such a common problem.
Like many other owners of the 2007 trailblazer, I have experienced failure of the fuel gauge. This is the second time it needs replacement in the four years I have owned this vehicle, and gm is not covering it under the warranty. The gauge goes down to zero and the low fuel indicator chimes. Last time around the check engine light also came on.
My 2007 trailblazer was purchased brand new. My gas light stays on continually and my check engine light comes on periodically. I took my truck to the dealer to find out that the cost of repair was not covered on my warranty.
I have a 2007 chevy trailblazer with less than 50,000 miles, the fuel level sensor just went out. The estimate was nearly a thousand dollars.....this of course is not covered by extended warranty, which was included in the price of this vehicle when I purchased in feb of 2010. The low fuel light is on at all times. I estimate fuel mileage with every fill up. Butt I am disabled, and running out of gas somewhere on the side of the road is not an option. I bought this vehicle thinking I would be safe driving it. I can't afford an expensive repair like this.I have owned gm all my life....very disappointed in gm...
The fuel level sensor installed in model year 2007 chevrolet trailblazer vehicles. The fuel tank level sensor is defective and could result in a subject vehicle running out of fuel, stall, and being rear ended by another vehicle.
