| My wife was going approximately 60 mph on the highway. the fuel gauge read that the tank had a little over a 1/2 of a tank left. the vehicle stalled and she almost crashed into the ditch. when she started the vehicle back up the tank read empty. my wife and kids had to wait by the side of the road in over 100 degree weather for over an hour until i was able to get away from work and take her fuel. we went directly to the gas station and put in $50 of fuel and the gauge still read empty. we have continued to put in fuel and the needle moves back and forth and always settles back on empty and the no fuel light always come on. i have no idea how much fuel there really is at this point. i am afraid to let my wife drive the vehicle any longer. this could have been a real bad situation. if my wife hadn't been able to control the vehicle and they would've crashed on the highway they could all be dead right now. i have read on other pages that this is a continuing problem and that chevy does not want to pay for the repair. i guess they won't until people start dying from this. i will never again buy a chevy vehicle. *tr | |||

| Most recent is a driver's side door/window controls that have completely stopped working. controls have been sporadic for over a month and have now stopped completely with the window in the down position. i have been lucky not to experience the burning/melting issue others have before it stopped working all together - but my window is now in the down position and cannot be closed. in addition to the door/window controls, the rear window wiper stopped working about a year ago, the fuel sensor went out over a year and a half ago so tank always registers empty and check engine light is always on. (i have received the offer from chevy to have the fuel sensor repaired, but because i will be responsible for half of the repair costs, i have yet to have it done -- chevy should pay 100%, not 50%). i've already replaced the tie rods about a year ago, but was just told that they need to be replaced again. i've had issues with the car violently shaking @ 60 mph shortly after i bought it (used) from a dealer. after quite the run around and four extended stays at the dealers repair shop it was magically taken care of after i threatened to file lemon law paperwork. i'm just done. *tr | |||
