NHTSA complaint #10860477, filed 2016-04, 80,000 miles“Takata recall I purchased a 2013 Chevrolet Impala 02/2015. One month later my car stopped in me. I got the car towed to serra Chevrolet. They said I was out of gas which I didn't believe cause I was at qtr of tank. They said with the kind of engine I had qtr of a tank meant empty in my car. I didn't believe this. In 02/2016, on my way to work, my car stop on the interstate. I got the car towed to serra Chevrolet again. They said my fuel pump sensor and something else was gone. They used my extended warranty that I purchased w/ serra toyota when I bought the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11006288, filed 2017-07, 86,028 miles“The floating gas gauge doesn't properly read the gas levels, even after replacing the fuel pump system and housing. One minute my gauge says I have 120 miles worth of gas when I cut the car off. The next morning when I get in the car to leave, my gas gauge shows 109 miles then it might jump down to 99. I can never tell how much gas I have. The actuators go bad in every model, I've had a 2005, 2010 and 2013 all of which encountered problems with the actuators going bad during the summer months. When you replace one actuator, it's not long before it goes out again and you need a new one.”

I called aaa and then lang's auto dealership to make sure I could get the car in on a saturday. Aaa responded quickly and replaced the fuse for the fuel pump since this was the second occurrence, the first while driving. The car was able to make it to lang's. …”
