2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer 360 Fuel system Problems

“Fuel gauge started malfunctioning sporadically. Would drop to empty for a while then come back up after driving a distance. Now gauge is always on empty and cel always on with code p0463.(fuel level sensor circuit high voltage) this seems to be a known problem with this GM platform. I am keeping track of miles per tank and refilling at 200 miles but the cel worries me because I don't know if there may be another, more serious, issue with the vehicle.”

“Shortly after christmas 2015, while driving on a city street the red light on the gas guage came on and the gauge showed empty. Having just filled the tank earlier that day I thought the gas had been stolen. I pulled into a station to refill but it was still full. For the next five weeks the check engine light was on and the gauge only worked occasionally. It wasn't a dangerous situation but after a few weeks of guessing how much gas was in it, I took it to a repairman who replaced the fuel pump module assembly for a mere $767.04. The odometer is only at 47,760.”

“I am a disabled 62 years old lady and I have a trailblazer 2007. About 2 month the gasoline gauge was showing empty all the time, I took the car to the dealer and they told me that they know there is a problem with the gauge but GM only going to pay a portion of the repair. I have to pay 139.00 of my pocket. I ask the reason it is a recall. One the attendant said the if recognize that was a recall they have the reputation of the trailblazer was going to be damage. Yesterday I was going to my doctor and the car run out of gas because I did not know my son used the car the night before. …”

“I have a 2007 Chevrolet trailblazer ls. We bought it with 13 miles on it when the first full tank of gas was gone we only put on 235 miles to the tank. That wasn't even a week. We have had 2 tires replaced because of excess wear with only 6,000 miles on it. Now we are working on the 2 other tires getting replaced because of the same thing. The windshield washer fluid would take a long time to come out. We hear a noise coming from the front right tire and at the same time we feel it in the pedals. The seals on the windows are coming off. …”

“The fuel level sensor is notorious for failing on these vehicles. Chevy has started a campaign to pay for half the cost of the repair. While I'm sure GM thinks this is a fair offer on their behalf, it does not go far enough. This is a safety issue not an inconvenience. Running out of fuel because you don't know how much is in your tank can create a very dangerous situation. Gm describes this part as a wear item. No. Brake pads wear out. Wiper blades wear out. Batteries die. When was the last time you checked the fuel level sensor in your gas tank? …”
