I HAVE A 1997 CHEVY S-10 BLAZER LT. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I FILL THE TANK AND IT READS FULL, I USE THE CAR AND WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO HALF TANK THE GAUGE STARTS GOING BACK UP TO FULL....I AM EMPTY WHEN IT READS FULL. THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED ONCE UNDER WARANTY, BUT AFTER ABOUT A YEAR IT STARTED AGAIN. CHEVY WONT PAY FOR IT AGAIN BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS OUT. *AK

VEHICLE HAS 92K MILES, BUT ITS 99% HIGHWAY MILES. THE TRANISSION FAILED AS WELL AS THE SENSOR MODULE, GAS GAUGE FAILED, WATER PUMP FAILED, CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, WINDSHIELD FLUID LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN REAR WASHER WAS ACTIVATED, BAD BATTERY WHICH WAS NEVER REPLACED (TRYING TO SELL ME A NEW ONE ALL THE TIME), CONSTANT RESURFACING OF FRONT ROTORS DUE TO UNEVEAN WEAR AND A DEFECTIVE GAS GASKET TO THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. I CAN SUPPLY EXACT MILEAGE AND DATES OF REPAIR. IF I DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN CHEVROLET TO COURT BY NOW FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I DON'T THINK MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE A GM.
