1 Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2004

The fuel gauge on my 1999 Chevrolet Corvette has never worked properly and now the vehicle stops despite having several gallons of fuel in the tank. I have been stranded several times. Most recently in a very dangerous traffic situation. I believe this is now a true safety concern. There also appears to be several service bulletins out on this problems so it does not appear to be isolated.

2 Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2004

I am in the process of having my forth steering column replaced on my 1999 Corvette, manual transmission. But the problem that I am reporting is that there were two times that this car ran out of gas with over 100 miles still showing on the distance to empty display. The last time I was having the steering column replaced I found a service bulletin , TSB # 02-06-04-010a pertaining to erratic fuel level readings and had the dealer correct the problem. Both times running out of fuel were at night time and the last time I was stranded on the top of a bridge with my daughter. We were almost hit 4 times by cars driving by because there was no place to safely pull over. I feel this should be a recall item because it leads you to a false sense of security in having fuel and when the car stops running, you loose the ability to steer the car safely.
