2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2010

I have a 2007 chevy silverado and the gas gauge has been acting up for about a year now. I can fill the truck all the way up with gas, drive it home from the gas station(7 miles) and the gas gauge will be reading about 3/4 tank. When I go to drive it the next day it reads 1/2 tank then by the time I get to the interstate (15 miles away) it will be between 3/4 and full. I love the truck but wish chevy would put a recall out on there sending units because I know people with the same problem and have seen many complaints about this same issue.

3 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/19/2007

I just bought a used 2006 Silverado 1500 from a dealer. Went home with a full tank of gas, week later went to fill it up and the needle stopped halfway between 3/4 and full and it would not let me put it in. Truck had 14650 miles on it when it started and now has 16450. Still under warranty and has been to the dhop 6 times and they have replaced every part of the fuel system and still no better. The next step is to bring a gm rep in to determine what is wrong.

4 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2007

1. No events noted. 2. Check engine light illuminates and stability traction control light illuminate periodically. When ever the traction control light is on, there is a very sharp jolt in the rear end whenever the vehicles start moving. 3. Taken into the dealer twice now. No remedy. Stated they through it was the fuel being used. So I have ran several tanks of fuel through it now and it still has the lights. I have made sure I purchased fuel from large dealer such as shell or conoco to make sure fuel should be good. I will take the trunk in again this week.
