| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I started noticing that my gas needle would float after filling the gas tank on two occasions. the first time i stopped one day to fill the gas tank thinking i was on empty. as i pulled off the needle went to e again after stopping on full before i turned on the engine. a gentleman at the gas station knew what was going on with my car as he was driving a chevrolet pickup and said it was a common thing with chevrolets. he also told me the problem was with the gas gauge wire. i called to make an appointment with service department to find out that no recalls were made regarding this issue. if it was a common problem in chevrolets then why was this not a recall or a safety issue..i would assume if someone would drive and experience what i was experiencing with the floating needle or worse run out of gas unaware that the needle was not registering properly while driving . discussing the same problem i was experiencing with a friend and she indicate to me that a coworker was having the same problem.. the second timei have ran out of gas was while travelling in high rush hour traffic due to the needle not working properly. chevrolet should take care of this dangerous issue with its customers. a recall should be made before something terrible occurs. i keep track of my mileage as i did not believe this was an issue i should have to pay to fix. this appeared to be a common problem for this manufacturer. *ak |
