The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving at various speeds, the contact observed that the fuel gauge would fluctuate with an inaccurate reading.

I own a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer and the speedometer has progressively gotten to the point of being completely inoperable. The first time I noticed the speedometer read 120 mph when I was driving on the highway were the speed limit was 55 mph and I was driving with the flow of the traffic. I turned the car off and the speedometer still read 50mph. As of a month ago my fuel, oil, battery, and temp gauge are all inop; the needles never move. With this my battery, seatbelt, ABS, and parking park stay illuminated. This is a safety concern because I never know how fast I'm going, how much fuel I have, if my car is running hot, I have no warning indication of anything going on with my vehicle.
2004 Chevy Trailblazer 4WD fuel gauge not accurate, going from F-E while driving after filling with gas. From online research this is the fuel sender problem that is a wide problem from all Trailblazers.
My 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer developed a leaking fuel tank and I keep getting "service engine" lights. I understand there have been many complaints however GM has not called for a recall. This is a serious safety hazard and appears to be a common problem. Reference complaint #05012.

Bought a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer and fuel gauge is not working on it. Quit right after we bought it. We had also bought a 2000 Chevy Silverado in 2004 fuel gauge went out on it, it has the electronic sensor/sending unit built onto the fuel pump. Fuel pump works great just the sensor is broke. What is with these on the Chevrolet. I have heard of others with same issue on their Chevrolet.
