2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer 360 Fuel system Problems

“Fuel sending unit failed so I could not tell how much fuel I had. Gm would not replace it. They sent me a letter that they had problems with them all. And would pay for half of the repair. That is unacceptable.”

“The fuel gauge reads empty when the tank is full. At first, it would level off after driving approximately 100 miles. The gauge then stayed at empty all of the time. My wife drives this vehicle on the highway and we're always concerned she will run out of gas in a very dangerous situation. Chevrolet customer assistance has offered to pay 50% of the repair cost of $700-800. I feel there should be a recall on the faulty fuel tank sensor that they admit needs to be replaced.”

“Happens everyday. The fuel gauge doesn't work on my 2006 chevy trailblazer. Not fixed. Dealership wants several hundred dollars to fix it even after it has left me out of fuel twice. Once on the interstate in the snow.”

“1. On 5/19/2011, after filling my 2006 Chevrolet trailblazer with gasoline, I noticed the gas light had illuminated on when pulling out of the station parking lot. I drove down the road two-three miles before pulling over and letting the car sit for 20-30 minutes. Upon restarting the engine, the gauge moved to 1/4 tank, and then dropped back to empty. I drove home, and upon starting the engine the next morning the gas gauge was still showing empty. After 2 days, the gauge moved back up to 3/4 tank. …”

“Gas gauge is not working properly. I can fill the tank and it will say that my fuel level is low, 2 blocks later it will say I can drive 240 miles and the needle will also go up, 4 blocks later they are both back down to only 64 miles for example, then back up again and then it will ding an alarm and say fuel level low. I have no idea how much gas I have in my tank ever. This is not safe for my son and I to be driving around not knowing when the gauges are working. What if we are out of town or on a country road or a bad area of town? …”
