“I have been stranded or have ran out of gas 6 different times while driving my 2007 chevy Uplander. One time, due to terrain, I was unable to move off the road. This is the only vehicle I have ever run out of gas in my life. It is very dangerous when it shuts off while driving with no steering. I see many have complained about this situation, yet nothing has been done about it.”
NHTSA complaint #10406091, filed 2011-06, 90,000 miles“2007 chevy Uplander stalled in the middle of the intersection of a 6 lane highway while turning. Took vehicle to dealer where fuel pump was replaced. Later found out that I had ran out of fuel. This was amazing to me since my gauge had red 1/4 of a tank. Was told the level control sensor needing replacing. Very dangerous. Was glad no vehicle were coming as I would have had a collision due to where my vehicle was when it stalled.”
NHTSA complaint #10398249, filed 2011-04, 76,000 miles“The fuel gauge/fuel range has been malfunctioning since 09 in that the gauge could change or fluxuate as much as 1/8 to 1/4 tank in a very short time. The fuel range which I thought showed how many miles you should be able to drive considering the amount of fuel in the tank, that changed as much as 50 miles and a few times, the fuel gauge would read about 1/8 of a tank, and I have driven 1 block, and it showed empty. Realizing that other are other factors, I do however feel that it is a safety issue especially if I'm on the highway. …”
NHTSA complaint #10576649, filed 2014-04, 36,584 miles“I had just purchased my 2007 chevy Uplander with a full tank of gas, so I didn't know the tank capacity or the mileage range for a full tank in this vehicle. I was traveling on I-75 southbound near cincinnati, ohio. Traffic was heavy and I was in the passing lane going 65 MPH while passing another vehicle, when my engine just simply cut out without warning. The gas gauge indicated that there was still over a quarter tank and the computer read out said, fuel range 120 miles. In order to safely get my van off the highway I had to cross over 3 lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder and pull off. …”
