The gas gauge in my car was accurate, and suddenly, there were problems. This is annoying not knowing how much gas is in your tank. I do keep it filled, but still...I am going to see about having it repaired, but we have spend over $1,000 on repairs last year. It's too much of a headache to list those now. I do know that one repairman told me I needed a new Idler arm when I did NOT. Thank God I had a second opinion from an honest person.
I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY VEHICLE AGAIN!!! Somehow thousands of people have experienced the same troubles with this floating gas gauge and having to count their miles before running out of gas but still NO recall. b/s.
Gas gauge bounces all over the place, have to use the odometer to tell how much I have left. Ususally just fill it up and after 200 miles fill it back up again. This is such a pain in the ass. I am about to put about 10 more things on here about this piece of sh*t car. I have never had such a horrible experience with a car. I will never buy another GM product again... let them go bankrupt... the rest of us won't have to deal with their crappy products anymore. It should be illegal to sell such poorly built cars.
This thing could quite possibly be the biggest PIECE OF SH*T ever made!!!!! Besides the fuel gauge not working I will list the problems I've had with this pile! #1 FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK FOR SH*T! #2 2 FUEL INJECTORS WENT BAD #3 BOTH HUB BEARINGS WENT BAD $300.00 EACH!!! #4 EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT WORK #5 REAR GATE HYDRAULICS WENT BAD #6 REAR LIFT GATE ACTUATOR BROKE #7 ALL FRONT BALL JOINTS WENT BAD #8 SOME FUNKY KNOCKING NOISES IN THE FRONT END THAT NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS EVEN THE DEALER! #9 ENGINE LIGHT ON AND YET AGAIN AFTER $1000.00 STILL NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHICH SENSOR IS BAD! GUESS WHAT IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THAT! #10 EVER TRY TO DO A TUNE UP ON THIS THING GOOD LUCK. THE PEOPLE WHO DESIGN THESE THINGS SHOULD HAVE TO WORK ON THEM #11 PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK BUTTONS FALL OUT CONSTANTLY Bottom line DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE I have had this and a S-10 both of them were the biggest pieces of sh*t I HAVE EVER OWNED! I will NEVER own a CHEVY EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fuel gauge is accurate for the first 3/4 tank. During the last quarter tank, the fuel gauge is completely inaccurate. It goes up to full then below empty then to half, and it like never stops moving until its nearly running on fumes.
IT'S MY WIFE'S CAR & THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. IT ALWAYS READS 1/2 TANK!!! TIME TO TRADE IN FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN CHEVY/GM. ALSO, THE REAR WINDOW OPENER ONLY WORKS SPORADICALLY. JUST ANOTHER REASON NOT TO BUY CHEVY/GM!
I am a single mother of two with ADD. Remembering to hit the reset button every time I fill up is a challenge. I am irritated to see this is a common occurrence and there has been no recall. Besides that, resetting the trip o meter just reminds me that I have a gas guzzler.
If Chevy wants to stay in business, they better come up with a solution, quick! because I'm getting tired of all this bull with car and SUV's, if these dealers wants us to pay for theses out of this world prices, they better get their crap together, because I'm sick of it, tired of all the break down!
This problem with the gas gauge started not too long ago. My husband and I share the car so if one of us forget to reset the trip odometer we are in trouble cause we never know how much gas we have. Also we just had a baby and it gets very cold in Michigan. This is very upsetting. I love my blazer but I am running into lots of problems
Another Fuel Gauge problem and I am about to report 10 more problems on this blazer, DO NOT BUY CHEVY PRODUCTS, let them go out of business. good riddance
I'm not sure what they did to fix this one. A week after i purchased the vehicle I noticed that the gas needle was bouncing all over the place. This was covered under warranty.
I worked as a GM technician for over two decades. Erratic gas gages is not a new thing with GM. In fact this has been a constant "DRIP" in many of GM models but somehow more pronounced in Chevrolet products. As a technician I could never figured out why hasn't GM corrected this problem. The only reasoning that makes sense is that GM dealerships have a 400% plus mark up in their parts. So it is convenient for GM Dealerships not to fix this problem (They know exists and has existed for YEARS). They want to make sure you spend your money in their parts department. Buy your parts elsewhere but the dealership as much as they are not dealer item. The records speak for themselves. The average in tank sending unit breaks down at aprox. 50,000 miles. Conveniently that is when your warranty expires.
I dont understand why this is happening to so many and Chevy hasnt fixed the fuel gauge problem. I will not purchase another Chevy product again. And that is not the only problem, the auto seats are sh*t too.
THIS IS SUCH A PAIN, THE GAS GAUGE DOESNT WORK. ERRATICALLY MOVES AROUND, I WAS USING THE TRIP METER TO GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE BLAZER UNTIL THAT STOPPED WORKING TOO. NOW NOT ONLY DO I NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, I DONT KNOW HOW MANY MILES ARE ON MY VEHICLE
Add one more gas gauge complaint. I fill the tank then use the trip meter. When I've driven 200 miles I fill it again. At one time I was considering trading in on a Trailblazer but I don't think my next vehicle will be a Chevy. No, definitely will not be a Chevy!
