NHTSA Complaint #10660928 — 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WENT OUT. WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK THE GAS GAUGE REMAINS AT EMPTY. NOW I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY MATTER. I CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY CAR WITHOUT A PROPERLY WORKING GAS GAUGE. IF MY CAR RUNS OUT OF FUEL AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURS IT WOULD BE TOTALLY AVOIDABLE. IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THE NTSB OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BUT FAILED TO ACT. I WOULD BE OK WITH PAYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE IF IT WAS A RARE OCCURRENCE BUT CLEARLY THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS AND GM AND NTSB ARE AWARE. NTSB WOULD BE COMPLICIT IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE THEY DID NOTHING TO PROTECT THE INDIVIDUALS ON THE ROAD. IF THE NTSB CANNOT MAKE GM RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM THAN I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE NTSB DOES AND I WOULD ADVOCATE NOT FUNDING THIS ENTITY. PLEASE ACT ON THIS MATTER AND MAKE GM RECALL AND REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR
