Fuel Gauge Not Working
2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer (Page 1 of 4)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer is known for many things, but perhaps it is most famous for its faulty fuel gauge.
This gauge flip-flops more than a politician during election season. Some report that the gauge says "empty" after a fill-up, while others report the gauge says "full" when they're running on fumes. Either way, there's one thing everyone seems to agree on: the darn thing is just wrong.
Following hundreds of complaints and a few accidents allegedly caused by the malfunction, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into the issue in May 2011. Unfortunately for frustrated owners, no recall has been announced.

- Helpfull Hint - Sometimes on the check engine light thing. I got this hint from a guy when I got my oil changed in Lubbock, Texas. While parked safely, turn your engine off for 10 seconds, then turn your ignition key just to the on position, before you engage the starter, press your gas accelerator peddle three (3) times turn ignition off then start the car. check engine light goes out. Sounds weird, I know, but I have done this several times with successful results. Doesn't work for every thing, but---- hey, if it works once better to have tried it right?
