2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer fuel system, gasoline problems

“AFTER I FILLED THE FUEL TANK IN MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN RESETTING MY TRIP METER WHEN EVER I FUEL UP,BUT MY HUSBAND FORGOT TO AFTER FILLING UP AND RAN OUT OF FUEL WHEN HE WASN'T SURE OF HOW MUCH GAS THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY HAD. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AFTER I FOUND THAT THE NHTSA HAD A DEFECT INVESTIGATION ON MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD ONLY BE REPLACED IF THE VEHICLE WAS 120,000 MILES OR UNDER AND UNTIL AUGUST 2015.NOW I HAVE 122,000 MILES I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART MYSELF? THE PROBLEM AND DANGER OF ENGINE STALL STILL EXISTS DUE TO LOW FUEL LEVELS NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS.THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DID NOT INFORM US THAT WE HAD TO DISPOSE OF THE VEHICLE AFTER 120,000 MILES BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE UNSAFE AND NO WARRANTY TO REPAIR A DANGEROUS RECALL.I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NO MATTER WHAT THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS BECAUSE THE DANGERS STILL EXIST.I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THIS AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR”

“I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT.... SO IT GOES, I WAS PREPARING FOR MY LONG ROAD TRIP TO YOSEMITE, AND HAD JUST FUELED UP. ONCE I TURNED ON THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE MOVING RANDOMLY, BACK AND FORTH. IT THEN STAYED ON EMPTY. WELL I CALLED OUR MECHANIC SINCE WE WERE LEAVING ON A ROAD TRIP AND HE RECOMMENDED I FILL UP AT EVERY 200 MILES TO BE SAFE. AFTER I WAS TOLD OF THE EXPENSE TO FIX IT, I CONTINUE TO PROLONG THE REPAIR AND DECIDED TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH INTO THIS SITUATION. I AM BAFFLED BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL BY GM. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND JUST TAKE IT DIRECTLY TO THEIR MECHANIC TO FIX. SHOULD EVERYONE BE REPORTING THE INCIDENT WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN THIS TO TURN INTO A RECALL. WELL IN HOPES THAT MY COMPLAINT HELPS...HERE IT GOES. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IT SUCKS NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU REALLY HAVE. *TR”

“AFTER PUTTING FUEL IN MY TANK, I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY FUEL GAUGE WAS BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. THIS WENT ON FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AS I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS. THEN THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND STAYED THERE AS WELL AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON. THE NEXT DAY THE GAUGE STAYED AT EMPTY AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I STOPPED BY MY MECHANIC TO HAVE THEM CHECK AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE. THEY CHECK THE CODE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR AND RIGHT AFTER THEY CHECKED THE CODE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO FULL. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND LET THEM KNOW IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT. I CLOSELY WATCHED THE FUEL GAUGE AND NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT MOVING EVEN AFTER DRIVING OVER 100 MILES IT WAS STILL SHOWING FULL. AT THIS TIME I STARTED LOGGING THE MILEAGE EACH WEEK I FILLED MY TANK AS I WAS CONCERNED THAT I WOULD RUN OUT OF FUEL BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY. THIS CONTINUED EVERY WEEK FOR MONTHS. THEN THE CHECK…”

“I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING THAT THERE WAS GAS IN THE TANK. THE VEHICLE DIED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH GREAT EFFORT. HAD MY WIFE OR TEENAGE DAUGHTER BEEN DRIVING THE OUTCOME MIGHT HAD BEEN VERY DIFFERENT.AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAUGE WENT TO E AND NEVER WORKED PROPERLY AFTERWARDS. *TR”

“I WAS ON A TRIP WHEN I HAD STOPPED TO FUEL UP MY TANK BECAUSE IT WAD CLOSE TO EMPTY SO ONCE I FUELED IT UP TO FULL AND TURNED MY CAR BACK ON FOR A SECOND IT SHOWED FULL TANK THEN JUST STROLLED TO EMPTY AND AFTER FEE MINUTES WENT BACK TO FULL. COUPLE DAYS LATER THE GAUGE JUST STARTED GOING CRAZY AND SHOWING ALL KINDS OF LEVELS OF THE FUEL TANK. NOW IT ONLY STAYS ON EMPTY WITH THE YELLOW LIGHT ON. BUT BEFORE THIS ALL HAPPENED MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. ITS FRUSTRATING AND I'VE BEEN LEFT WITHOUT GAS ON MIDDLE OF ROAD A FEW TIMES. *TR”

“FUEL SENSOR STOP WORKING ... EVEN IF YOU FILL THE TANK, FUEL GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY GRANDCHILD IN THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER , THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST . I TOOK IT AGAIN WITH A LETTER FROM OTHERS MECHANICS STATING IT THE FUEL SENSOR ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT , HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE. THE WANT TO CHARGE ME 900.00. CHEVY NEEDS TO GET THIS FIX... *TR”
