Pontiac Grand Prix Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Jan 06, 2011
Reported on Jan 06, 2011
| AFTER MY VEHICLE STARTS MOVING, THE FUEL GAUGE RISES TO SHOW THAT THE FUEL TANK IS AT LEAST 2/3 TO 3/4 FULL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN THE TANK IS LESS THAN 1/4 FULL. CURRENTLY, THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE REASONABLY SURE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK IS TO RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT SIMILAR OCCURRENCES IN 2005-2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS, GMC ENVOYS, BUICK RANIER, AND SAAB 9-7X VEHICLES. THE ARTICLE WENT ON TO SAY THAT NHTSA IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENTS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN THIS FUEL GAUGE BEHAVIOR STARTED ON MY VEHICLE, THE DETERIORATION HAS BEEN GRADUAL. HOWEVER, IT HAS BECOME SO BAD NOW THAT I REALLY DO NOT TRUST THE READING ON MY FUEL GAUGE. | |
