The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier. While driving 35 mph, the contact attempted to shift from 3rd to 4th gear. However, instead of accelerating, the vehicle decelerated and then shut off. The fuel gauge read 1/4. He put 2 gallons of gas in the vehicle and it started immediately. He then added 12 gallons of gas. When the fuel gauge reads 3/4, the vehicle is able to take 10 gallons of gas. The current mileage is 182,875 and failure mileage was 179,875.
Gas gauge reads incorrectly. Shows 1/4 tank of gas however gas tank is bone dry. This has happened twice now. Chevrolet needs to recall this gas sensor as I have read about many cars having this problem. Ridiculous that this hasn't been taken care of yet.
With applied pressure to the brake pedal, the vehicle jerked. The gas gauge did not give the correct reading and was fixed three times.
Consumer states while fueling vehicle to full status after driving half hour the fuel needle will remain in full, dealership has been notified service manager will get in contact with consumer. Nlm.
