This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Stopped at a local exxon station to fill up with gas at 1/4 tank level. I filled the tank to full a now $90 expense. When I got back in and started my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer ext, the gas gauge indicated an empty tank and the yellow warning light stayed on. I drove for a few miles, stopped turned the vehicle off and restarted the vehicle with no indicated change to the fuel level. I checked to make sure that the gas cap made a good seal. Nothing seems to make a difference. Now the gauge jumps from full to empty and all levels in between with no rhyme or reason. After seeing how many people at www.topix.com/forum/autos/Chevrolet-trailblazer/th8ji6tepo3vrji3D are having the same problem; I believe that this should be a mandated recall for GM. This has all happened within 1000 miles of my manufacturer's warranty expiration.
Filled up the tank and when I went to leave the fuel gauge did not work. The gauge would go to E when I turned on the engine but would not go any higher. Then after driving it would slowly go back up and drift down towards E again. It acts like the fuel float is saturated. As the fuel level would get low. The gauge would start to work normal. Once I would get gas the next time it would start to do the same thing again.
