Consumer Description

THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON AT ANY TIME DURING NORMAL DRIVING. HOWEVER, IT CAN NEVER BE CHECKED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SAVE IT IN THE COMPUTER MEMORY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THIS MEANS I HAVE NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS VERY SERIOUS ALSO. THE FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND INACCURATE. I FEAR THAT I MAY RUN OUT OF FUEL AT SOME POINT BECAUSE OF THIS. THEN I MAY BE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO TRACK MY MILEAGE WITH THE TRIP METER TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. THROUGH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I REALIZE THESE ARE VERY COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE AND GM REFUSES TO RECALL IT.
