Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | July 24, 2006
Reported on July 24, 2006
| SEVERAL YEARS AGO MY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN ACTING UP. IT WOULD FLIP QUICKLY TO THE NO GAS POSITION PERIODICALLY AND THEN FLIP BACK SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON. WHEN I FILL THE TRUCK UP IT ALWAYS FLIPS TO THE EMPTY POSITION AND THEN BEGINS IT'S BACK AND FORTH FLIPPING. I HAVE TRAINED EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY TO ALWAYS RESET THE MILEAGE INDICATOR AND WATCH IT CAREFULLY TO INSURE THEY DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS CARS OVER THE YEARS (HONDA FOR 20 YEARS) AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. AT THE PRESENT TIME, TWO PEOPLE I KNOW WITH THE SAME TRUCK BUILT THE SAME YEAR OR WITHIN A YEAR OF MINE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M WONDERING WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR | |
