I NOTICED THAT AS I DRIVE MY 2001 CHEVY 2500HD WITH 6.0 V8, THAT THE FUEL GAUGE GOES FROM SAYING I HAVE FUEL, TO DROPPING DOWN TO NO FUEL AND THEN BACK AGAIN. THE GAUGE DOES THIS SPORADICALLY FOR NO REASON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK, AND HAS CAUSED MY WIFE AND KIDS AS WELL AS MYSELF TO BE STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE PLACED IN HARMS WAY, WHEN SHE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY, DUE TO THE FAILURE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD AN OVERWHELMING COMPLAIN ON THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT, BUT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED. I AM A POLICE OFFICER, AND BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MISTAKES, AND MAKE THEM RIGHT. I HAVE OWNED 7 CHEVY TRUCKS, AND ALWAYS SPOKE HIGHLY OF THEM, BUT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, I BELIEVE CHEVROLET SHOULD DO THE RESPONSIBLE THING, AND CORRECT THESE ISSUES. I AM CURRENTLY SPEAKING TO MY LAWYER ABOUT A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVROLET. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS WELL AS INCONVENIENCE. CHEVROLET IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. *TR
