Four problems related to tank assembly have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The bolt of right side in the gas tank was missing when I sent the truck to fix in stocker Chevrolet in 701 benner pike, state college, PA 16801, on 10/19/06. My vehicle is Chevrolet S10 pickup, 2002, mileage 31k.
1)fuel guage stuck at around 1/4 of a tank when 1/4 or below. Had to put vehicle into neutral to get accurate reading. Has ran out of gas when showing 1/4 of tank. Taken to dealership - replaced fuel level sensor. Problem was not fixed. Took back again and other items were replaced. Seems to be fixed, but it has only been 1 week. 2)"popping" noise heard on the drivers side in the front end. Took in same time as the first gasoline incident. Replaced ball joint and greased front end. Seemed fine until about 1 month later and then noise came back, along with a very bad "bouncing" in the front end that made it feel like the front drivers side tire was comming off. Took back to dealership (same time as second gasoline visit) said that it was the "design of the vehicle" - but yet it never did this until then. Dealership has been very cooperative.
Loud thumping noise coming from gas tank area during sudden stops or accelerations. Also during normal stops and normal acceleration. Noise continues to present time.
Multiple parts replaced with no success - sending unit, level sensor, gauge, etc. Mr.
