Consumer Description

ON THE 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO I OWN THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ THE RIGHT AMOUNT IT SHOWS FULL THEN EMPTY. MY FAMILY HAS 4 OF THESE MODEL TRUCKS ALL TOGETHER AND ALL OF THEM ARE DOING THE SAME THING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY FUEL GAUGE READ HALF A TANK AND I RAN OUT OF FUEL IN THE LEFT LANE. MY VEHICLE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE CAUSING A ACCIDENT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON ALOT OF THESE MODEL TRUCKS. *TR
