“Fuel gauge problem on my 2006 chev. Trailblazer. Once filled it goes to empty and moves to full whenever it wants to. Very annoying and makes me record miles to know how much gas I have. Dealer quoted 400.00 to 500.00 to repair. Time for a recall. This started at 38,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10323691, filed 2010-04, 38,000 miles“I just filled the fuel tank until completely full, and when I started the vehicle, the gas gauge showed empty and the low fuel light came on. Shut off and restarted several times and it still shows empty and the low fuel light is on. I drove the vehicle several miles and now the service engine light is on. I had gotten a letter from my local Chevrolet dealer about this problem, but discarded it do to not having any problem until now. I searched on-line and heard about alot of other vehicles(peoples complaints) having this same exact problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10441975, filed 2011-12, 75,200 miles“Was parked at job site after having filled fuel tank. Low fuel alarm and light came on. When started vehicle gas gauge registered empty. After several off/on sequences for the ignition, fuel gauge would only register empty. Had repaired same day from dealer. Was told this was a warranty issue, and our deductible was 50% ($175). I told dealer I would contact GM to get the deductible refunded. I will let you know how that goes. Three weeks ago the vehicle lost the #6 fuel injector and it took out the fuel injector control module (computer system??). Total cost from dealer was $1633.01. …”
