Consumer Description

2002 CHEVY TAHOE PURCHASED USED 11/2006 WITH 50,000 MILES. GAS GAUGE NEVER WENT TO FULL. 4/2010 FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED $1000.00, NOW IT'S 7/2010 AND GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHILE DRIVING WITH FULL TANK OF GAS TO EMPTY, CAR SLOWS DOWN AND THEN SUDDENLY PICKS BACK UP WITH GAS GAUGE SHOWING FULL AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE ON FREEWAYS!! WAS TOLD BY PEPBOYS WHEN THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP THAT SOMETHING WASN'T WORKING WITH THE COMPUTER, OH REALLY, BUT OF COURSE WE WERE TOLD THAT 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THAT IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY THE FUEL PUMP AND THEY DIDN'T WORK ON THE COMPUTER. COST OF REPAIR WAS PROBABLY THE DECIDING FACTOR. NOW I FEEL UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. WHAT'S UP CHEVY?, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER?? *TR
