Consumer Description

I PURCHASE MY CHEVROLET 1500 PICKUP NEW IN 2001 AND HAVE MAINTAINED WELL. FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE ON BOARD COMPUTER WARNING LIGHT WILL INDICATE MY FUEL TANK IS EMPTY AND THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE WILL GO TO EMPTY. THE LIGHT AND GAUGE WILL REMAIN THIS WAY UNTIL I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. AT THAT TIME IT MAY WORK OR IT MAY NOT. I CURRENTLY HAVE 72,300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRENCE BEGAN AROUND 35,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEIR RESPONSE HAS BEEN THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN IT IS IN THE SHOP SO THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM CONCERN WITH THE CURRENT SAFETY RECALLS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE IMPACT BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT MAY ALSO BE AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THIS UNTIL THE RECENT PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC. *TR
