My 2005 chevrolet trailblazer gas gauge doesn't work properly. I never know how much fuel I have in my tank because the the gauge goes up and down like crazy. Sometimes when I know I have less than half a tank of gas due to the miles I've driven it says that it's full. Other times right after a fill up it will say that it's empty.
