Problem 1: driving near my home and vehicle quit on me. Gas gauge showed full but come to find out, I was out of gas. Good thing I wasn't traveling at a high rate of speed, like interstate driving. Problem 2: vehicle wouldn't start, I'm being told it is the passlock system. Security light has only come on 1 time. I never know when its going to start. Very worried when I travel by myself. These have happened at different times.

I have a 2001 monte carlo and have many issues. 1st I have been having a steering issue since 35,000 miles. I makes constant noise when steering and turning. Had it fixed twice at my expense. Once again started happening. I do not know if this is dangerous. 2nd gas gauge does not work. 3rd the heat/AC intermittent and I noticed when this does not work the panel where it tells you if you are going north, south etc. Doesn't work either. Also the driver side heated seat does not work anymore. Please get back to me.
My fuel gauge in my 2001 chevrolet monte carlo does not work correctly. Erratic at best.
Started with check engine light then the RPM gauge stopped now my fuel gauge stopped had the car checked out and it is a bad cluster.
Gas gauge becomes erratic (fluctuates) when gas gauge reading gets to approximately 1/4 tank position.
