| Fuel gage reads empty when full and bounces around after a little fuel is used. i purchased this truck new and this started at about 50,000 mis. and is now a constant thing. i was told this is a $1000 fix and is prevalent on these models and should be subject to a recall but that will not happen | |||

| The fuel gauge on my truck does not read right. it sticks one minute one way , then it will say i have a full tank, and then drop to empty. i am afraid i am gonna be stranded one day, being a woman with children and constantly on the road, this scares me. i have a 2001 1500hd chevrolet 4 door truck. it is not that old to have problems with this. i am concerned over it because my husband has a 2000 chevrolet 2500hd and the same thing happened,one of the guys that works for same company and has truck alike, had to take his in and get it fixed for same reason,then i was telling our friends about it and says theirs does the same thing. all chevrolets, and so we got to thinking maybe this is something that needs to be checked into.i am gonna have to get mine fixed shortly because of the fear of being stranded, i try to keep up with when i put gas in and the mileage, but sometimes you just forget!! please let me know if this is a recall problem or could be in the future. we were just wondering@ thanks! | |||

| After putting truck in gear (auto) the gas pedal wil occasionally not depress without force. this leads to a sudden burst of speed while truck is in gear. dealer reccommends a $100 throttle body cleaning. if a critical area is getting dirty, isn't that a design flaw that should be fixed by manufacturer? repair how to websites talk about cleaning and plugging a hole that lets in dirt | |||

| I purchased new a 2001 silverado pick-up. i've had to replace the fuel level sensor@ 48000 miles,tailgate straps@ 65000 miles, and now electric window motor/regulator@ 80000 miles. i've tried to work with gm about the problems and possible reenbursment for these repairs as well as my local dealership. i don't believe after paying over 30k for a new vehicle, gm will not back their products or share in the cost of replacing these overpriced parts. is there anything that i can do?*ak | |||

| Fuel gauge moves from empty to full and back again while driving, and at times fails to work at all. after taking it to a dealer for repair, the mechanic told me to save my money that it would only go out agin, that this was a common problem with this model that gm has just ignorded. i have since spoken with other chevy owners who have the same problem. *jb | |||

| My gas gauge will take a dive to empty and the light also comes on. this is an on again off again problem. the dealer says it will cost six to seven hundred dollars to fix. i was wondering if there had been other complaints of this nature. *jb | |||
