1 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2015

I purchase this vehicle in April 2015 (used) I drove the vehicle home and it registered a half a tank of gas, I drove it a few days and the gas gauge needle did not move. I notified the auto center where I purchase the vehicle and took it back for repairs. Five weeks after the repair the gas gauge is still faulty. I was driving on the highway and the vehicle shut down (out of gas) the gas gauge needle read a quarter tank of gas. I contacted the auto center where I purchase the vehicle and I was told the S10 and the GMC model of this vehicle has a history of faulty gas gauge's. My only recourse is to have this item repaired again without any guarantee the same problem will happen again. ----2001 Chevrolet S10 fuel sdystem, other bulletin 13599---action number 10001283 report date Mar 01,2003 thank you sidney ricks.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/14/2001

Fuel gauge does not accurately reflect fuel in the system(reads empty at any given time with or without fuel). Dealer advises that I am at fault because I failed to keep the fuel tank more than half full. Dealer will not fix fault. My wife now refuses to drive the truck because she never knows if it out of gas or not.
