| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 buick lesabre with 52000 miles on it. when the fuel gauge drops below 1/2 tank it starts moving erratically. it will move up to full and then drop down to 1/4 tank, just moves back and forth so below 1/2 tank i don't know how much fuel i have. it also confuses the fuel system computer in the driver information center so that is not reliable either. i just have to keep track of my mileage and based on fuel economy i determine when i need to buy gas. i can't find any recall information for the 2000 model but read some where that a later year model had this same problem and the only fix is to replace the fuel tank where the sensor is located. this is not only faulty engineering it is incompetent engineering. *jb |
