Consumer Description

FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON, THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER WILL SOUND AN AUDIBLE ALERT AND WILL SHOW LOW FUEL INDICATOR. WHEN YOU HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS IT WILL SHOW A FULL TANK AND STAY THERE UNTIL YOU USE ABOUT 1/8TH OF A TANK AND THEN THE FUEL GAUGE START MALFUNCTIONING. SOME TIMES THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW FULL AND SOME TIMES IT WILL SHOW EMPTY AND ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES WILL ACTIVATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME GM WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT GM WOULD PAY 1/2 OF THE REPAIR COSTS WHICH ARE ABOUT $145.00 AND THE VEHICLE OWNER WOULD PAY THE OTHER 1/2 OF THE COSTS. IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 2 HOURS TO REPAIR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY GM. *TR
