We have a 2001 chevy 2500 hd truck and have also had issues with a faulty fuel gauge where it goes from showing the fuel level to dropping down and the "low fuel" sensor showing. we also have the gas pedal that sticks. several of our friends have owned chevys at some point and have had similar issues. these should definitely be recalled. we have lived with these issues for a couple of years. we shouldn't have to pay several hundred dollars to repair issues that several chevy owners are all experiencing. *tr

The fuel gauge will show empty even if the tank is full. it will go from below empty and the low fuel light will come on and then if you rock the vehicle back and forth it will read the proper amount. *tr

After going to 2 dealerships with complaints of my truck "dying"; which the first computer read-out said "erratic fuel pressure" and the second one saying "large fuel leak detected" my truck finally broke down on me. the mechanic who worked on my truck was an employ of a chevrolet dealership and was supposed to have been certified on diesels (per their website) did not know what he was doing without a manual, replaced a fuel injector which i was told after the work was completed that it would not be covered under my 5yr/100,000 mile warranty that my warranty book says it is covered. it took him longer than normal since he wasn't certified and had never worked on one before and the warranty should have covered it.*ak
