Went home with a full tank of gas, week later went to fill it up and the needle stopped halfway between 3/4 and full and it would not let me put it in. Truck had 14650 miles on it when it started and now has 16450. Still under warranty and has been to the dhop 6 times and they have replaced every part of the fuel system and still no better. The next step is to bring a GM rep in to determine what is wrong.”
