Tank Mounting Problems of Chevrolet Tahoe

When I fill my gas tank up with fuel the fuel light shows low fuel when the tank is full. I am unable to tell what the actual fuel amount is. The light comes on often. This has been happening for about 6 months now. I am not sure how to correct it.

2002 Chevrolet Tahoe 5. 3l engine-fuel gauge level erratic. Dealer fuel level sensor in tank is the problem, however this is a "normal wear and tear" replacement item at 62,000 miles combined with high sulfur in ak fuels causes it. However, 2001 vw passat had same issue with sulfur and sensor which did warrant a recall action at no cost to owner. Vehicle description: sulfur in fuel interacts with certain additives found in widely available gasoline causing sulfur to become deposited on the contact points of fuel sending units mounted inside the fuel tank. This could cause the fuel gauge to read full while the fuel tank may not in fact be full or could be empty. Consequence: running out of fuel without warning while the fuel gauge indicates that there is sufficient fuel in the tank lead to safety problems NHTSA campaign id number : 01v157000.

The problem is ongoing, the fuel indicator is not stable, it registers low fuel when there is a full tank. The needle is not reporting actual fuel amount. The safety hazard would be running our of gas and possibly causing an accident. Is this a defect from the manufacture or wear and tear. Vehicle:2001 chevy Tahoe mileage now is 98,000 plus miles. The problem has been ongoing for over a year.

My 2002 chevy Tahoe has experienced three fuel pump failures with the last failure being today. It cost me in excess of $ 850. 00 to replace my fuel pump and tank today. All power to the vehicle is lost when the fuel pump has gone out. I believe chevy should have a recall on this item as I believe it could be a serious problem to loose power if traveling at interstate speed.
