NHTSA Complaint #10618497 — 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

I STOPPED TO FILL MY CAR WITH GAS AS I WAS ON A LITTLE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK. THE FUEL LIGHT HAD NOT COME ON, NOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER FILLING THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY WITH FUEL, I GOT IN THE CAR AND THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE NEEDLE WOULDN'T LEAVE EMPTY. IT STAYED THIS WAY FOR ABOUT A MILE TILL I GOT HOME. I SHUT MY CAR OFF IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES THINKING THAT IT MUST PLAY "CATCH UP," BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WENT TO FULL IMMEDIATELY, BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL, AND GOES ON AND OFF, WHICH I SUSPECT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL SITES, WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. I AM NOW HAVING TO SET MY TRIP METER SO THAT I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS TILL I GET IT FIXED. HOPING SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS. *TR
