Consumer Description

GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS DEFECTIVE. IT STOPPED WORKING AT 55000 MILES AND THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $600 TO REPLACE. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER TO A LOT OF OWNERS. I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE AND HAVE RAN OUT ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER 4 MILES FROM NEAREST TOWN WITH LITTLE CELL PHONE COVERAGE. ONLY WAY I CAN GUESTIMATE WHEN TO PUT FUEL IN IS BY GOING BY THE TRIP ODOMETER. I COMMUTE OVER 400 MILES WEEKLY ON THE INTERSTATE BUT CAN'T AFFORD A $600 REPAIR BILL FOR SOMETHING I FEEL SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
