Consumer Description

THE FUEL GAUGE WAS MISREADING FUEL LEVEL. GAUGE WAS SHOWING GAS IN VEHICLE WHEN THERE WAS NONE. I RAN OUT OF GAS 3 OR 4 TIMES. I ENDED UP REPLACING THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THE CAUSE TO ME AS THE DIRECT OR INDIRECT RESULT OF THE ULTIMATE FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP AND SYSTEM. I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS AND ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS I HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF MY EXPERIENCE WITH GM I PROBABLY WOULD NOT PURCHASE OR RECOMMEND TO ANYONE ELSE TO PURCHASE A GM PRODUCT. NO ONE WANTED TO STAND BEHIND HIS PRODUCT. MAYBE IT DOESN'T MATTER, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ASK AND FOLLOW MY ADVICE. I GATHERED INFORMATION THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW. IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS IT IS REMEMBERED AND REPEATED. *AK
