Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Checking fuel indicator started to be stuck on below empty causing me to run out of gas on a few occasions. And from my understanding this has been a flaw in GM trucks for sometime now. And the cost for the repair is over $500.00. These vehicles cost too much money to have these types of problems and the dealer not think it is there responsibility to correct.”

NHTSA complaint #10325022, filed 2010-04, 47,000 miles

“The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. While driving at various speeds and while idling, the fuel gauge fluctuated from empty to full continuously and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel level sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
