Consumer Description

AT 45,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE BECAME UNSTABLE ON MY 1997 S-10 PICKUP. THE GAUGE INDICATES MORE FUEL IN THE VEHICLE THAN IS IN THE TANK. THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL DURING A RAINSTORM AND ONCE AGAIN WHILE IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. INQUIRIES INDICATE THAT THIS IS A LONG-STANDING PROBLEM FOR MANY GM VEHICLES. REPAIR ESTIMATE TO FIX THE GAUGE IS $500.00. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY-RELATED ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE. *AK
