Consumer Description

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. IT SAYS FULL TANK WHEN IT IS BUT I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH IT READING HALF TANK. DANGEROUS!!! WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF GAS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING, OH EXCEPT YOU STALL AND HAVE ZERO POWER STEERING. FROM 70 TO 0 IN 2.5SEC. CALLED DEALER AND INQUIRED ABOUT ANY ISSUES WITH GAS GAUGES BECOMING FAULTY AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSON THAT IT COULD GO BAD BUT HE KNOWS NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH FAULTY GAS GAUGES FOR CHEVY. LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND PAGES AND PAGES OF DOCUMENTED FUEL/GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS STRANDING DRIVERS. IF THEY THINK IGNORANCE IS BLISS THEN I HAVE MANY OTHER BRANDS OF VEHICLES TO CHOOSE FROM. *TR
