| 2005 | FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM | 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!!! *CN |
| 2006 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS VEHICLE [XXX] . FUEL TANK SENSOR FAILURE. SENSOR FAILS TO SEND INFORMATION TO FUEL GAUGE. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN TANK. HAD VEHICLE TO CHEVY GARAGE, COSTS $400.00 TO GET VEHICLE FIXED AND ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES. I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. SOME HAVE STATED THAT THEY ALREADY HAD VEHICLE FIXED ONCE AND IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. THE MAN AT THE CHEVY GARAGE TOLD ME THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON TWO OTHER MODELS OF TRUCKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. DOESN'T SEEM QUITE FAIR. I HAVE 73,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. *TR |
