2 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2010

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was reading inaccurately and he was unable to determine how much fuel was in the vehicle. The contact did not inform the dealer or manufacturer of the failure nor was the vehicle repaired. The current mileage was 95,000 and the failure mileage was 65,000. The VIN was unavailable.

3 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2009

Fuel gauge is not accurately reporting fuel level. When fuel level is too low, vehicle shuts down and will not restart. Low level warning light does not come on. Vehicle has to be jump started in order to reset security mechanism. Can cause traffic issues and/or collision from abruptness of issue and happens without warning wherever you are. I can just imagine what a problem it would be if it happened in an intersection or running down the highway. Since the vehicle shuts down, this would mean power steering and power brakes would be non-functional increasing the potential risk for an accident or collision.
