| I just read you are investigating gm suvs for defective gas gauges. i have a year 2000 chevy silverado and the gas gauge has read erroniously for the past six or seven years. i have run out of gas several times,but have never had the problem repaired because the dealer wants to charge me an absurd amount. i believe its a design flaw they should repair for free. i would recommend you expand your investigation to include gm pickups back to at least the year 2000. | |||

| I am currently working based in mexico. my 2000 tahoe is my family vehicle that i only use to travel with my family within mexico. on friday the 21st of january 2005 my son and i were traveling on a state road and my tahoe caught on fire going 50 mph. trafic on the road was signaling to me as if there was a problem but i continued to drive for about 100 yards because all the leves and gauges were normal on the truck. i stopped immediately after i saw some smoke and by the time i stopped the truck was in flames on the front, underneath and rear. i only had time to take my 6 year old child out of the truck which was the most important aspect but the truck and belongings were a total loss. the fire department could not stop the fire as it lasted for 1 hour and nothing but the frame was left of the truck. we were fortunate that nothing happened to my child and i but this is something extemely dangerous that should be avoided for future customers of this vehicle. we always kept this vehicle on top conditions and we have no idea why this was caused or how to aviod this in the future. we recieved great help from the mexican police and fire department as they took care of all the road damages and they also cleared me from any damages to the city as this is normaly paid for by the driver. my family is the most important thing is this world and i am sure that others feel the same about their families and i hope gm vsn help with this issue by improving this vehicle. *ak | |||
