Wrong fuel gauge reading by model year
What owners say
Fuel gauge is incorrect. It says I went 20 miles when I only went two. Then when car is in park the gauge goes back up but when moving the gauge goes down quickly. This had caused me to run out of Gas when I shouldn’t have and it’s adding miles to my odometer that I never went or it’s fluctuating and that’s faulty. the federal safety agency CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V223000 Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading An inaccurate fuel gauge may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. the federal safety agency ID Number: 14V223000 Manufacturer General Motors LLC Components ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 51640 Summary General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured March 26, 2013, through August 15, 2013.

The fuel warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to the electrical system. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Reliable Buick GMC (400 Automall Dr, Roseville, CA 95661) where it was diagnosed with an electrical and fuel system failure.

Gas gauge does not read accurately. We have ran out of gas one time due to this issue, resulting with us stalling in the middle of a busy street. Now that that has occurred gas is put into the tank every few days but gas gauge still only registers 1/4 of tank to “Low Range”. MULTIPLE OCCASIONS!
My fuel gauge occasionally registers as empty even after I fill the gas tank. This typical happens if I let the fuel go below 1/4 tank. This has happened since the first 30,000 miles and I was told by the dealership there was no recall or safety alert for this condition. It gradually goes up as I drive. It is my understanding this is a common problem with this vehicle and model year.
Fuel gauge reads inaccurately and system registers fuel tank empty at around 1/4 of a tank.
Gas gauge suddenly dropped to "0" while driving on interstate yet it had gas in it.
The fuel gauge drops to e when you still have approx 1/4 tank of fuel. There was recall for this but it seems it does not cover my vehicle by VIN.
