Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Fuel gauge reads full all the time. i realize that it is not as important as other things. this happened about 3 months after the warrenty ran out. this is a common problem with gm vechicals and not with just the astro vans. when i called the dealer they said that people normaly just use there trip odometer. the reason i was given was that it was a $500 fix. i know 5 other people that have or had this same problem. most just get by until they get rid of the vechical.*ak
