Fuel gage has failed and does not work... failed at 38000 miles... purchased car December 2005 with 13,500 miles from dealer...current ownership two years... low fuel light stays on even when tank filled...gage will sometimes vary between "E" and 3/4 full... most of the time staying on "E",...absolutely cannot tell how much gas is in car from the gage. More than one person drives the car and it is going to leave someone from my family stranded on the road at some point. I went to the dealer and complained and was told that it would cost between $350 and $500 to repair, that the fuel sending unit has failed...that gas tank would have to be dropped to replace... however "just keep driving the car until the fuel pump fails and replace the pump and the sending unit assembly at that time, saving the extra cost..." "keep track of your mileage"...which varies between city and highway driving... not exactky what I want to hear!!!

In recent months my fuel guage indicator light is showing low fuel even after the vehicle has been fueled to capacity. After speaking a with several other Chevy Trailblazer owners, I have discovered that they are, or have experinced the same problem. I was advised by one of the owners that there was a problem with the fuel sensor. The cost to replace this item through the dealership was between $350-$450. After reading the complaints on this website and speaking with other Trailblazer owners. One can conclude that this it a factory, workmanship defect; and the consumer should not be held responsible for repair or replacement. Finally as of this complaint I have not repaired the fuel sensor.

The sending unit for the fuel gauge on my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer failed and had to be replaced at a cost to me of $400. When my repairer called the dealer for the part, he was told he had to wait a day as the part was not in stock, because the had sold out of them and there had been a "run" on this individual part. This would lead me to believe that the part failure is not random but that it was defective and others were experiencing the same problem as I.
