NHTSA Complaint #10173109 — 2000 GMC SIERRA

MY GAS GUAGE ON MY 2000 GMC SIERRA PICKUP IS ACTING ERATIC. IT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I DID A SEARCH ON GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS BEING REPORTED TO AUTOMOTIVE HELP SITES BY A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE. SOME SAY IT IS THE SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK - SOME DEALERSHIPS TOLD THEM THIS. THE COST TO DROP THE TANK AND FIX THE PROBLEM IS AROUND $800. EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO FORCE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, YOU CAN EASILY SEE BY SEARCHING GOOGLE THAT THIS IS INDEED A MAJOR PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THAT NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY CAN FILL A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. THANK YOU...*NM
