Dt: contact stated all of the gauges on the dashboard suddenly stopped working and were inaccurate. the speedometer was stuck at 100 mph. the tachometer showed a readout of zero. the fuel gauge indicated the fuel tank was empty, although there was fuel in the tank. *ak
Fuel guage sticks in the full position all the time, this resultng in a stall vehicle on the highway requiring owner to move a disabled vehicle into the breakdown lane in the middle of a freeway. the vehicle had to be towed away. *ak
Gas gauge does not work (reads empty at all times now). the vehicle was taken to the dealership where it was purchased to have the problem fixed while under warranty (under 35k mi). there's a reoccurence of the problem. in one ocassion a close call collission in a highway was barely avoided due to the innacurate gas gauge reading. *ak
Consumer stated that vehicle in the last 3 months in repair shop for transmission problems 9 times. after bringing vehicle to repair shop shop everything else started to break down. also, fuel pump was replaced 3 times. fuel gauge operated poorly, and vehicle died/stopped while driving on the road. *ak
Consumer states his auto has been in the shop 4 times, and each time he was told that it is a programming issue, and there is no fix for it at the present. consumer states when his gauges reaches 1/4 of a tank the gauge drops to empty. nlm
Fuel gauge does not accurately reflect fuel in the system(reads empty at any given time with or without fuel). dealer advises that i am at fault because i failed to keep the fuel tank more than half full. dealer will not fix fault. my wife now refuses to drive the truck because she never knows if it out of gas or not. *ak
Fuel monitoring system does not work properly, gauge does not give proper reading on how much fuel is in the tank, contacted dealer and dealer made 3 attempts to fix vehicle, dealer replaced gas sending unit and module cluster, but still has not corrected problem, also dealer found out all 2001 crew cab, s10 have same problem, dealer was told by manufacturer that vehicles had a program problem in the electronic module. *ak *slc
Fuel gauge is not calibrated properly and apparently can_x0019_t be. the extended cab s-10 ls models have 19-gallon gas tanks standard. the gauge reads full when full but seems to gauge my fuel consumption faster than i am really using it. it was most concerning the first time the light came on. i thought at first i was getting about 13 miles per gallon when half of my driving is highway. when the gauge gets down to the 1/8 tank line the fuel light comes on. when i go to the station the tank will generally take only about 13 gallons meaning there is 6 remaining in the tank. it has been consistent since i bought it and over the almost 40,000 miles i_x0019_ve driven it. i still don_x0019_t trust it completely and use my trip meter to gauge its accuracy. generally i just make it a practice to refuel when the light comes on. i know i have about 3/8 of a tank remaining when that occurs. *cb
