Reference the recent newspaper article involving the faulty fuel gauges on vehicles.. i just purchased a 2000 gm sierra p/u truck that i later found had a defective fuel level sensor inside the tank. thinking i had a 1/2 tank of gas i got stranded on a side road 22 miles from home. it cost me a $1,000.00 to replace the unit as well as the fuel pump which are one unit. the dealer told me the problem is common on all large gm vehicles. *tr
The fuel gauge is sending incorrect reading after fill up, the low fuel warning lamp is coming on after fill up. dealer tells me this is extremely common for this truck and that i should consider it routine maintenance doesn't seem right for only 70000 miles. *jb
Excessive rust from middle of under carriage on back lead part failures. one of two straps holding up gas tank, rear strap, broke and rear of gas tank dropped about 4 inches. i was not driving the truck, just noticed then gasped. i replaced the gas tank strap. research on internet reveals excessive rust for these trucks is common. after hearing about the toyota tundras dropping a spare tire due to excessive rust, i figure a part failure possibly leading to a dropping a gas tank qualifies too. *tr
Gas gauge not responding correctly giving incorrect reading. gauge is sporadic mostly when tank is full , have some concern that electrical fire may occur due to electrical spark in fuel tank. i believe a recall should be done to correct this matter. *jb
Fuel gauge reading incorrectly on my 2000 gmc sierra. *jb
Gas gauge on 2000 gmc k1500 pick up truck working erratic. sometimes gauge goes to empty and then a check engine light goes on. i understand that a lot of people with these trucks are having the same problem. gmc needs to have a recall thanks. *jb
