Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY WHICH HAS A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS THE TANK AS BEING "EMPTY" WITH THE ORANGE LIGHT ON INDICATING AN EMPTY TANK. AS SOME FUEL BURNS OFF THE TOP (AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MILES), THE GAS GAUGE THEN MOVES TO THE "FULL' END OF THE GAUGE. WHILE DRIVING, THE GAS GAUGE CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS THAT IT HAS MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THAN IT ACTUALLY DOES. BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS INACCURATE AND WOULD RESULT IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS, I STARTED RESETTING MY ODOMETER AND TRACKING MILEAGE AFTER EACH FILL UP. BASED ON THE MILEAGE TRACKED THUS FAR, I ESTIMATE THE GAS GAUGE TO SHOW THAT IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 ' 1/3 MORE GAS THAN WHAT IS IN THE TANK. *TR
