The fuel sensor slowly went out on the vehicle even though it is only 4 years old and of course just after the warranty expired at 60,000 miles.
1999 Chevrolet Venture fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel gauge malfunction.
About one month after installation, replacement fuel filter started leaking. My wife noticed gasoline smell in garage but didn't take any action and pulled out of the garage and started to her destination. About 3 miles into her trip, she ran out of gas. Tow truck driver discovered leaky fuel filter located under the car, just under the driver's seat. Evidently when car was running gasoline was being sprayed on to the ground, as evidenced by discolored strip on my driveway, about 18 inches wide. Car was towed to dealership, which claimed replacement part was defective. Called gm customer service to get explanation for why part failed, but they were unable to provide any help. I feel that this failure represented the most serious type of safety problem. The vehicle could have caught fire at any time, especially with gasoline being sprayed under relatively high pressure by the rear fuel pump. This type of failure should never occur. Gm was unwilling to provide my any type of feedback other than I should trust them, that they would investigate this failure and that it should never happen again. Given the potential risk from this failure, I felt their response was totally inadequate.
Delphi fuel pump malfunction which caused a no start condition. Dealer replaced fuel pump 3 times. Deaelr won't place a different kind of fuel pump because of warranty issues. Please provide further information.
Strong smell of fuel when vehicle was parked. While drive fuel was leak from line running under mid section of van. Dealer replaced retainer in fuel filter fitting
On the night of purchase, we noticed a strong odor of gasoline in our garage. Upon evaluation by the manufactures service department, a hairline fracture was found within the gas tank/line.
