The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Upon refueling the vehicle, water entered near the plastic filler, which affected the fuel gauge area. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting for them to schedule an appointment to inspect the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was waiting for a solution to be provided to the dealer to diagnose the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

Fuel gauge goes to full,back to empty. Low fuel light comes on. This goes on all the time you driving the vehicle.

First incident of the fuel sensor failing (low fuel light and fuel gauge indicator false) was at 68,400 miles. 2nd time failed on 04/16/2011 at 98,500 miles which costs me another 800. 00 bucks. This is the 3rd time its starting to act up again at 118,300 miles, and will probably cost me again!! I can see it happening once, but not understand how it can happen 3 times that is ridiculous, not to mention the expense! Chevrolet should have had some type of recall on this or least figure out what is causing the problem. There is no doubt in my mind this is a defect with the part and very expensive to repair. I have researched this problem and it seems a lot of people have experienced this issue. This issue could be dangerous and people have little choice for safety reasons but to correct this problem at great expense. This needs a recall . . Not everyone has $800. 00 laying around and gm should fix this for free especially when it happens a 2nd, 3rd time! come on gm your rep is on the line. .

Fuel gauge does not work properly, it shows random fuel amounts. It has left me out of gas several times. All my family drives silverados and GMC sierra, and all have the same problem. This is very dangerous, what if I run out of fuel on the high and my truck stalls and causes an accident.

Fuel gauge will drop to show empty when it's not. Will also "bounce" irradically from empty to random levels.

The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The fuel gauge indicated that the vehicle was low on fuel when it was actually full. The failure occurs while driving 50 mph and also when the vehicle is stopped. The dealer stated that the failure was common among other vehicles of the same make and model. The failure and current mileages were 97,800.

I have a 1999 Chevrolet silverado and my abs light and parking brake light has came on recently. The braking on my truck is not very good in wet conditions. I found that it is a common problem on chevy trucks, and I was told that I should just remove the fuse. I was told it has something to do with the wheel hub assembly, and it is a costly fix. I think for once Chevrolet should step up and put out a recall on this problem. There is also another common complaint about my dash cluster, which I had also found is a common problem, the odometer will go off and on when it feels like, and the gas gauge frequently goes up and down, and the fuel light comes on periodically. Thank you for your time.

Fuel gauge failure when vehicle is in "park". Low fuel signal goes on. Then when the vehicle is in drive, the gauge goes to full. Then eventually the gauge goes to the level of the fuel.

Fuel gauge is erratic. Often shows empty with low fuel light on right after fill up. Moving the vehicle will loosen it, and make it show proper fuel level. This causes me to fill up early, and often out of fear I may show incorrect fuel level.

The fuel gage does not read accurately. When the fuel tank is full, the gage reads empty. After some fuel is used it seems to read properly until around half a tank, at which point it starts to bounce aroud between empty and the proper reading. It will also read empty if the truck is park and idling for a short period of time.

Gas gauge bounces from full to empty and reads inaccurate at times even after filling tank. With a full tank gauge will bottom out at empty and initiate low fuel light and then return back to full.

2001 silverado z71 5. 3l -- the gas gauge works only intermittently and often shows wrong fuel level. I have talked to my mechanic and he says that this is a common problem and a costly one to fix. I use my tripometer to estimate how much fuel I have but if the fuel mileage changes, as with towing, it is not reliable. I have run out of fuel and been stranded on more than one occasion.

I own a 2000 chevy silverado (4. 3) with 92k miles. My problem is with the faulty fuel sending unit that left me stranded on the expressway and almost caused an accident. The gas gauge indicated 1/2 tank full. Now the gauge indicates empty when I fill the tank completely. This is a very expensive repair that I think chevy should replace I am not the only one with this unstable problem. The fuel gauge is erratic at all times and now I gauge my travels by using the odometer and allowing only 300 miles per full tank.

Fuel gauge not working properly on my 2001 Chevrolet silverado. It seems to be a common problem on the 2000 and 2001 trucks.

I believe gm should release a TSB & repair under warranty to address the poor quality fuel sending units in all 1999-2001 pickups. My 1999 silverado developed a faulty gauge reading approx 50,000. My 2001 happened about the same mileage & age. The dealer service manager tried to say it was bad gas. I know better. I have 3 friends with silverado's & all developed erratic gauge readings.

I own a 2000 chevy silverado z71. When I start my truck my gas gauge will stay on empty even with a full tank of gas. It will also show a half a tank of gas when I am actually empty. This caused me to run out of gas on a busy interstate nearly causing an accident with my two children in the truck with me. My sister owns a 2000 GMC truck like mine and her gas gauge will not work at all. She has ran out of gas several times because of it. Once on i10 in the middle of the night about 30 to 20 miles from a town. It is obviously a know problem. Is gm waiting for someone to get killed on a highway before they decide to fix it?.
