On 9-18-2004 fuel pump was replaced after I was left stuck in rush hour traffic the night before. On 9-23-2005 fuel pump was replaced after complained that the fuel gauge bounces up and down. They then replaced the fuel pump but I had to pay out of pocket for repair because I was 6 days beyond warranty. On 3-1-06 while at the dealership in va the car would not start yet again due to the fuel pump and I had to find yet another way home.

2000 s-10 extreme suddenly cuts off and will not start again even though tank is full. 2 mechanics say it is fuel sending unit inside gas tank. Great expense to replace. Researching on web find many, many other s-10 owners with exactly the same problem.

The vehicle would not start when the fuel level was below 3/8 of a tank (related to investigation pe 02-066).
