Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE GAS GAUGE IS WILDLY INACCURATE. IN FACT, WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I RAN OUT OF GAS. IT WAS IN THE EVENING DURING THE COLD MICHIGAN WINTER AND I HAD MY 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME IN HER CAR SEAT. THE GAUGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ME WITH AN ACCURATE IDEA OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND I AM FORCED TO EITHER USE MY ODOMETER OR JUST MAKE AN EDUCATED GUESS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
