Consumer Description

FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AFTER FILL UP. MOVES FROM EMPTY, TO 1/2 FULL, TO 1/4 FULL TO EMPTY, BACK TO 1/4 FULL, BACK TO EMPTY. I CAN'T DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS IN MAY TANK. THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ENVOY AND CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. THERE IS NO WARNING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL OR SUGGESTION THAT THE GAUGE AND SENSORS BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR - BETWEEN $600 AND $900.
