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.

2005 chevy Silverado 1500 experiencing erratic fuel gauge readings. Vehicle has approx. 25k miles and has been acting erratically for about 2 weeks. Fuel gauge, fuel light, and text display seem to be in sync, so it may be that the problem is originating from the tank or the computer. Either way, it's nearly impossible to tell how much fuel I have at any given time. . . Even after a fill-up. In fact, I just filled up yesterday and the gauge showed empty with the fuel light on by the time I got home. Once in the driveway, the gauge rose to half-full. This is a serious problem. Living in alaska, knowing the vehicle's fuel status is critical, especially in winter when the safety of a warm vehicle may be the only protection from the elements.

My gas gauge is going crazy, I filled up my tank as usual and when I started the truck it went to full then to empty. Now the gauge fluctuates all the time so im not sure how much I have.

Automatic transmission failed at 58000 miles. This truck was never used for towing. The reverse went out backing out the garage. Also, the vent and vapor sensor for the fuel tank failed. I was told there have been many updates for the transmission.

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.

Fuel gauge failure and false fuel level readings would lead to possible empty fuel tank, and being stranded away from services. Replacement of fuel gauge sensors at a high cost place on the owner of a manufacture defect in product or design.

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.

My fuel gauge floats back and forth after the vehicle seats idle the fuel gauge will read empty and the low fuel warning light will come on. It does this even if the tank is full of fuel. This has been going on for several months.

The fuel tank fill neck is lacking the proper rust inhibiting coatings this then is causing the metal neck where the fill nozzle enters to rust out. . This causes gas vapors to escape the fuel tank. Also the ground strap is of poor construction. This then corrodes into dust. . . These facts will on an unsuspecting vehicle owner cause a potential explosion/fire when refueling. . .
