| 2001 deville fuel level indicator is erratic, showing three bars and then jumping to almost full causing me to run out gas. the car has 140,000 miles on it. now i have had to use my trip odometer as a fuel gauge, knowing how many miles per gallon i average. i have heard this a common problem in gm vehicles newer than 2008. i also hear that this is expensive to fix. | |||
