Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE FUEL GAUGE KEEPS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I ALMOST GOT INTO AND ACCIDENT ON THE BELTWAY TODAY BECAUSE MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT KILLING ANYONE OR MYSELF. SOME FRIENDS FROM WORK BROUGHT ME SOME GAS WHICH GOT ME HOME AS SOON AS I WAS A BLOCK AWAY FROM MY HOUSE THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. AGAIN I HAD TO REFUEL JUST TO GET TO THE COMPLEX WHERE I LIVE. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I JUST SHUT DOWN AND I HAVE A SPEEDER BEHIND ME. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CHEVY OWNERS VOICING THEIR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE TO DIE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT LIKE THE TOYOTA DEALERS. IS THEIR ANYWAY THAT CHEVY CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DEFECTS. CONCERNED PARENT. *TR
