“I bought 2005 chevrolet trailblazer and the fuel gauge is defective. It is crazy to hear beep sounding all the time telling me the gauge is empty when I know for sure is not. I wish it could be fixed, because I have many others things in my plate that need to worry, I really don't need another one.”
