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.

I have a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer ext that has a faulty gas gauge I cannot tell how much gas I have its extremely dangerous when you have children you need to pick up daily and drive to practives not knowing how much gas you have so your always in a panic to put more.
Chevy trailbazer 05... gas gauge keeps moving from low to empty back to full, sometimes it stays at empty. Check engine light stays on. Fuel sending unit keeps failing. Unit was replaced in 2007 at dealership. Sending unit has gone bad again. Very expensive labor needed to fix this. When I fixed the first time I had warranty now it has expired. I checked online and it seems like everyone with a Chevy Trailblazer is having the same problem also my..to my knowledge this is a completely defect of the car. My major fear is to run out of gas on the highway and my car to stall. Leading to an accident.....also the instrument panel light keep getting darker..sometimes several lights come on.
