problem #1

Mar 011999

S-10 Pickup 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 42,000 miles
Since I have purchased this vehicle, I cannot get the correct fuel amount to show on the gauge. I have been to the dealer several times waiting for a recall with no luck. I have ran out of gas several times when the gauge says I have fuel. Once on the highway I was forced off the road and into a ditch causing damage. I was placed in a life threatening situation more than once because of this problem. Chevrolet wants me to pay $220 for parts and another $175 labor and I cannot afford that amount.
