| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The fuel level gauge in my 2000 gmc sierra has been erratic and is now consistently reporting the tank is empty every time i fill it up and it will then keep flipping between full and empty for about the first 100 miles after fill up. i cannot trust the gauge any longer to tell me when the tank is getting low either, as it will show 1/8 to 1/4 even when it will take 26 or so gallons of gas. this seems to be a faulty level sensor that is affected when the tank is full, mostly, and i am concerned that the electrical system connecting to the sensor in the tank may be shorting out in the tank near or in the presence of gasoline! i understand this is a common problem with these vehicles and suggest that it should be recalled and fixed by the manufacturer. *jb |
