Fuel guage becomes erratic when tank becomes less than half full.
My 2000 Venture was parked on an incline nose down with a full tank of gas. After about one hour someone smelled gas. We found gas streaming out from under the van. There was no gas in my garage and I did not hit any objects on the way. I had the van towed to the dealer. Must replace entire gas tank because 'check valve inside tank went bad'. Cost $1100. This poor design makes us have to replace the entire tank for one valve. Not a maintenance issue. Could have been a very dangerous situation. Gm won't help pay for repair.
The gas tank is located 5 inches off the ground and has no shield to protect it from damage.
While driving about 65 mph on the freeway, where traffic forced consumer to drive over a branch that was on the way, fuel tank cracked.
