| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Faulty fuel gauge/sensor: the '97 chevy s10 i own recently experienced very erratic behavior with indicating the level of fuel currently in the vehicle. while depending upon the gauge i ran out of fuel when the gauge showed just under 1/2 tank. this vehicle has just over 40,000 miles on it so i thought it would be a good thing to check with the local chevy dealer. after paying an insane amount of money ($100) just to run dianostics on it the end result was exactly what i had expected and seen by others on the internet with the same vehicle. the chevy dealer says the minimum that it will cost is $550 to replace the "sending card," if the module is bad then it will cost $1050. not having that amount of $$ available i decided to not have it repaired at this time (probably never). since technically this could be a safety issue i would like to report it. running out of fuel in the winter months is not all that great. luckily it didn't happen a week earlier when it was well below zero. gm please fix your so call glitches. this vehicle has not been a fun experience to own and most likely will be the last gm i will ever own.... |
