What owners say
On my 2011 chevy traverse on the fuel gauge once the fuel level reaches a half tank it suddenly drops to empty. It is hard to read the fuel level after that because honestly who has time to sit and calculate milage used everyday (I know I don't) I have read on other forums that this was happening on other years of traverses and was told to report it. Even if the car sits for awhile it won't read the correct fuel level that is until fuel has been added to above the half tank mark.
We bought the 2011 chevrolet traverse used with 99,000 miles on it. We noticed that on the car fax, other than just routine maintenance, the car had its fuel tank replaced. We questioned it, but did not think we would have problems, as the car was well taken care of. Every since we purchased the vehicle, when we fill up the car, it does not register on the fuel gauge correctly, if it registers at all. We cannot take long trips in the car without having to stop every so often and put gas in it, as we dont know how much is in there at any given time. This is a major concern to us. I see that there is a recall for the 2014 vehicles, but I also see that this has happened alot with the 2011 traverse's, but no recall has been issued. I am hoping with this additional complaint and ongoing problem, that something will be done before someone gets seriously hurt, if they havent already. I do not know who the previous owner of my vehicle was, but they obviously had the same problem, hense replacing the fuel tank. Chevy, please issue a recall for this.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet traverse. While driving at 40 MPH, the fuel gauge did not function properly and displayed an incorrect reading, which indicated that the fuel level was half. In addition, the contact stated that the rear window wiper failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000.
2011 chevy traverse is having fuel gauge issues. Gm has a recall out on 2014 models, however my 2011 is experiencing the exact same problem but no recall for that year. Per gm this can result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
My 2011 chevy traverse fuel gauge is not reading correctly. I fill the gas tank up ... It goes up to full and then instantly goes back down. There is a recall on 2014 models ... Why not this model? Being able to see the correct reading of my fuel amount is pretty important to me!
