1. On 5/19/2011, after filling my 2006 Chevrolet trailblazer with gasoline, I noticed the gas light had illuminated on when pulling out of the station parking lot.

NHTSA ODI report, 2011-06-02

Happens everyday. The fuel gauge doesn't work on my 2006 chevy trailblazer. Not fixed. Dealership wants several hundred dollars to fix it even after it has left me out of fuel twice. Once on the interstate in the snow.

Fuel sending unit failed so I could not tell how much fuel I had. GM would not replace it. They sent me a letter that they had problems with them all. And would pay for half of the repair. That is unacceptable.
