| On both my 2003 chevy suburban, and 2002 chevy k2500 truck, the gas gauge reads erroneously. tends to get hung up at 1/4 tank, then later goes to empty...at which time i've run out of gas! chevy replaced the burb fuel sensor twice, and the truck once...under warranty. past warranty they will not help. safety issue: i ran out of gas in downtown atlanta interstate traffic during rush hour, had to weave my dead truck through 70 mph traffic to the left shoulder. very dangerous move...luckily was not rear-ended! have friends w/ same truck...same problem. *nm | |||

| 2002 chevy hd ext cab. i took my pickup to a gm dealer because i knew there was a recall for this issue. they told me that my pickup was not included in the recall. the brakes shift into abs when coming to a stop all the time. it is clear that their is an issue with the abs braking systems in pickups in the northern regions due to salt, stated in the recall for newer models. i called gm customer service and they told me that the 2002 pickups are not yet included in the recall. this is a safety issue that should be resolved by chevrolet. please help!! *jb | |||
