Consumer Description

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2009 SILVERADO READ FULL, WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY NEAR EMPTY. THE FIRST TIME WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT ON HWY 395 IN CALIFORNIA. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS OVER 100 DEGREES. I KNEW I HAD DRIVEN TOO FAR FOR THE GAUGE THE BE CORRECT. THERE ARE VERY FEW GAS STATIONS ON THAT ROAD. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON THE SAME ROAD A YEAR LATER DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT. I FINALLY REALIZED THE PROBLEM WAS THE HEAT, WHEN IT HAPPENED AT MY HOME TOWN IN JAMUL, CA WHEN IT WAS OVER 100 DEGREES. THE LOW FUEL WARNING NEVER CAME ON AND THE GAUGE SAID FULL. I TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND OFF AND IT STILL SAID FULL. THE GAUGE CORRECTED AFTER I ADDED FUEL. I INQUIRED AT THE DEALER IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT. *TR
