| We suddenly started noticing odor and found large puddle of oil spill on garage floor. tried to determine the cause of the leak, immedialtely took vehicle to dealer, where we bought it and maintenance records are kept, koons chevy, vienna va (the dealer) explained there is recall on one part (gasket) but the bearings also ruptured among other things such as the axel and differential . chevrolet said that this is very unusual but the oil pressure switch may have been deffective they just don't know in other words this is a serious repair warranty issue/deffect that needs to be addressed. there is no recall on the other part at this time which is the oil pressure sensor, this all happened suddenly and simultaneously and there has to be a link and one thing triggered the other. the dealer does not want to honor this repair claiming that everything that is sealed and enclosed is covered but the other deffective part is outside of the enclosure. koons chevrolet wants to charge hundreds of dollars for it, and chevrolet will not take responsibility for it, and their answer was that there is no recall at the time. | |||

| Fuel gauge on dash reads improperly. driving with what marked as 1/4 of full tank (26 gal tank which reads 20 gals plus 6 gallon reserve when low fuel light turns on or red-lining). driving on freeway accompanied by my infant son and toddler niece, when truck completely stalled out on the #2 lane. was able to glide over to the shoulder, turned off truck and tried turning it over when fuel light came on to indicate that i was low on gas. my primary concern is driving with children and having an incident like this happen, where fortunately no one was injured. the truck did not in any instance indicate the fuel level was low or that it was completely empty. had problem fixed at chevy dealership, then on 3/21/08 problem occurred again where gauge is still not reading properly. *tr | |||
