Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge Problems of Chevrolet Venture

About a week after I got my Mini van the fuel gauge quit working, the ignition switch started staying on in the start position, and I've got a rattle in the engine that nobody can seem to find. All of my friend's have heard this sound in the engine, but the techs keep telling me it's normal.

We bought the van used from a dealership about a year ago. The van was fine at first but a couple of months after we bought the van the fuel gauge fluctuated. The fuel gauge was at half, it went to empty then full and back to half, all in one motion. I thought it was odd but never had a fuel gauge do that to me before. After that the fuel gauge would fluctuate periodically but would always go back to were it was before it fluctuated. We figured as long as it went back to were it was before it fluctuated then we would just deal with it. Boy, were we stupid for thinking that it wasn't going to get worse. It eventually got worse and now it reads full(but its not) and just out of nowhere goes to empty and the fuel light comes on. Just last week the fuel gauge read empty, we put $50 worth of fuel in the van. The gauge read full, we did some running around town(we live in a small town) so we couldn't have used much fuel. We went home and was going to leave again a few hours later and when we started the van and got down the road, the fuel gauge went to empty immediately. Its frustrating that the fuel gauge doesn't display correctly. My wife usually drives the van and I don't want her to run out of gas and get stranded somewhere. I've been reading a lot about this problem on the internet and I was just wondering how many people does it have to affect to warrant a recall by gm? does someone have to get hurt or killed before something gets done? have always bought gm vehicles(never had any issues) but it doesn't make any sense if gm knew about the problem and decided to do nothing. Now were stuck paying 3 more years on a van that doesn't operate properly. We don't have the money to trade it in for something else and don't have the money to get it fixed. Very frustrating!.

Fuel gauge reading is erratic. Sometimes correct, most of the time it's incorrect.

The gas gauge on the chevy ventura does not work and this is a consistent problem with the ventura line. Sometimes as little as 15,000 miles and the gas gauge either stays on full ( no matter how many miles you drive) or it stays on empty. Either way, it is a problem that hundreds of buyers have experienced.

The fuel gauge is erratic. It does not reflect the actual fuel level in the tank.

The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Venture. The rear passenger seat belt buckle would not unlock. The passenger was locked in the rear seat belt due to the latch failure. The fire department had to cut the seat belt webbing to release the passenger. The fuel gauge was reading incorrectly. Regardless of the amount of fuel in the vehicle the gauge continuously was reading incorrectly as if the fuel level was full. The current and failure mileage were 132,553.

Fuel gauge problem on 2002 chevy Venture. Stays at full when driving (never moves), stays at empty (never moves) with low fuel light on when idling. That's it, the fuel gauge shows no other amount of fuel. Nothing out of the ordinary happened to signal the start of this problem. Has caused vehicle to run out of gas without any knowledge. No repairs have solved this problem. Many other complaints on various message boards on the internet from other chevy Venture owners with similar problem and no luck in correction of the problem.

Fuel gauge erratic and does not accurately reflect amount of fuel in tank. Low fuel light comes on regardless of fuel level in tank.

The gas gauge is not working properly. It will tell incorrect fuel level, usually either completely full or say flat on empty even though we know for a fact that there is gas in it.

At start of van, the fuel gage moves back and forth on the gage. It registers 0 gallons when there is fuel in the tank. This is on a vechile that is <4 years old. The dealer states that he has seen this problem before in the chevy Venture van with low mileage. It will cost >$800 to fix since the wareenty has exired. I will never buy a gm vehicle again!.

Gas guage does not register unless the tank is totally full, then it just drops down to empty whenever it wants. I feel that this is a safety hazard due to ending up with an empty gas tank at any time. The only thing that I can do is try to keep track of my miles. This has also happened to a friend of ours whom also owns the same brand of van.

The fuel sensor slowly went out on the vehicle even though it is only 4 years old and of course just after the warranty expired at 60,000 miles.
