I JUST FILLED THE FUEL TANK UNTIL COMPLETELY FULL, AND WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL SHOWS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MILES AND NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAD GOTTEN A LETTER FROM MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT DISCARDED IT DO TO NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. I SEARCHED ON-LINE AND HEARD ABOUT ALOT OF OTHER VEHICLES(PEOPLES COMPLAINTS) HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *KB

Defect investigations

No exact-year investigations in this snapshot.

An investigation is not a finding of a defect, and closure does not prove a vehicle is problem-free.
