Fuel gauge is incorrect. It says I went 20 miles when I only went two. Then when car is in park the gauge goes back up but when moving the gauge goes down quickly. This had caused me to run out of Gas when I shouldn’t have and it’s adding miles to my odometer that I never went or it’s fluctuating and that’s faulty. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V223000 Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading An inaccurate fuel gauge may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.

fuel gage incorrect. parked at work with a third of a tank of gas, when i left work later that day it said i was on empty. got to closest gas station and put in $20. gauge told me I had half a tank but it takes $70 to fill the tank, so there is no way $20 would give that. then I drove about mile to my parents house and while sitting in the drive way the gauge now said I had over half a tank. then i drove 4 miles home and the range went from 162 miles to 134. called dealer regarding the recall bulletin 14007b and was told my car wasnt part of it even though it is a 2014 gmc acadia and is having the issues described in the bulletin.
The fuel tank gauge es do not read probably when on a fourth take when driven less then a mile it read empty
Gas gauge does not read accurately. We have ran out of gas one time due to this issue, resulting with us stalling in the middle of a busy street. Now that that has occurred gas is put into the tank every few days but gas gauge still only registers 1/4 of tank to “Low Range”. MULTIPLE OCCASIONS!
My wife was driving at highway speeds (70MPH) on the interstate in Chicago when without warning her cluster lights appeared and her vehicle lost propulsion (stalled, Stall, died). She had no warning and the area had no shoulder for her to pull off into so she had to come to a complete stop in the right lane of the highway. People are doing speeds well above 70MPH, I would hate to think of what could have happened if a person or line of vehicles could not change lanes in time; very serious injuries and possibly death for all invovled. Fortunatly, she had the sense to put the car in park (highway lane) and completed a key cycle thus restarting the vehicle and then obviously accelerating quickly to get out of harms way. As people are swirving out of her lane and honking at her. I put our VIN into the...
MY FUEL GAUGE OCCASIONALLY REGISTERS AS EMPTY EVEN AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK. THIS TYPICAL HAPPENS IF I LET THE FUEL GO BELOW 1/4 TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST 30,000 MILES AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS NO RECALL OR SAFETY ALERT FOR THIS CONDITION. IT GRADUALLY GOES UP AS I DRIVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR.
THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. FROM 5MPH-70MPH. THIS HAPPENS ERRATICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. IT RESULTS IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OFF ALL POWER.
FUEL GAUGE READS INACCURATELY AND SYSTEM REGISTERS FUEL TANK EMPTY AT AROUND 1/4 OF A TANK.
