“We have a 2007 chevy suburban that has had 2 fuel level sensors replaced under warranty. We are now out of warranty with 48,000 miles on the vehicle and the fuel gauge is again displaying inaccurate fuel levels. We have twice ran out of fuel when the gauge showed a quarter tank.”
NHTSA complaint #10399450, filed 2011-05, 48,000 miles“Gas leaking from top of gas tank on suburban. It has happened four times since june of 2007. Never know when it is going to happen, doesn't happen all of the time, about every 4 months. It isn't a little but a lot causing a puddle and a horrible gas smell for a couple of days in my vehicle. When this happens everyone around the station is astonished at how much it leaks and that I get in the vehicle and drive off. The service department claims to replace a valve when this happens, but then why does it happen again and again. …”
