The fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank and suddenly the gauge went to empty and the driving distant went blank. After a short time the gauge read 3/4 tank, then went off again, then reset itself to 1/2 tank. This has happened quite frequently since then. It only happens once the fuel level gets less than 3/8 of a tank.

The gas gauge has stopped working properly. It no longer registers the amount of fuel in the car.

I own a 2007 chevy tahoe with about 46000 miles. About three weeks ago the fuel gauge began to malfunction and read inaccurate fuel levels. I called two of our local dealers and was told by one that the malfunction was caused by a faulty unit inside of the tank. I was told that it would be about a 400.00 repair. I was also told that the malfunctions were wide spread, and they had been making many warr repairs for this same problem. After doing some research online I was amazed to see how many people are experiencing the same problems with out of warr gm vehicles. Considering the wide spread problem with the fuel gauges I would hope that gm would voluntarily issue a recall and make the costly repair, even for out of warr vehicles.

2007 chevrolet tahoe shows check engine light and gas gauge goes crazy, bouncing from empty to full and sometimes landing on a random reading. When gas gauge is not functioning properly, vehicle shows low fuel, even after filling up the truck. Sometimes after filling up, the problem "resolves" itself - but other times, the gauge is still unreliable. This is a well-known problem for these vehicles and can be a safety issues should one run out of gas in busy traffic or in an unsafe area.

The gas gauge in my 2007 chevy tahoe has drastic fluctuations and mis-readings. I can get in the truck, start it and the gauge may read 1/4-1/2 full and the estimated gas range may say 130 miles. I can then turn the truck off, restart it, and the reading sometimes goes down to empty and I'll get a "low fuel" warning. This seems to happen very regularly, but most often when the tank is around 1/4 full (or supposed to be 1/4 full). This creates situations on the highway where I think I've got plenty of time and mileage before having to find a gas station. If I stop at a rest stop and resume travel, my reading may suddenly go to low fuel or very low fuel status, in the middle of no-where. My son in law has a similar vehicle (2007, cadillac escalade) built on the same chassis and experiences the same issue, so I'm wondering if there is a product defect at hand. Please help.

My 2007 tahoe is a piece of ?!@#$%. Since I got the truck it has been in and out of the shop. My gas gage floats I can start out at of a tank and it will go up to of a tank. The dealership has changed multiple parts and can not seem to fix it. The blower in the air conditioner went out that had to be replaced as well. My service light came on and another part had to be replaced. I would have to say that my truck has been in the shop at least 30 days. I would not buy another gm vehicle. The dealership was so quick to sell me the truck, not that quick to help me. I have picture and video with time and date of to gas gauge floating. My gas gage is the recurring problem, the dealership has changed multipr parts.
