From day one, this vehicle shows the fuel gauge is not FULL when fill-up. It normally shows 7/8 of full tank. As soon as I drive less than 10 miles, gas needle drops to 3/4 full. At empty position, the vehicle only takes in 8 gallons (instead of 13). Basically, the gas gauge is 1/4 tank off from nearly FULL to EMPTY. I took it numerous times to the local Chevy dealership in Kokomo, Indiana (Eriks) for warranty service on this problem. They have tried re-calibration a few times. The last two times, they even changed the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel sender but no success. Their recommendation is to keep on overfilling the gas tank after it is clicked off automatically. That was GM Engineering direction on fixing the problem not showing FULL. But that does not address the 1/4 tank off after 10 miles driven.
So very disappointed at GM and their fix. How hard is this to calibrate a gas tank and show reasonable accurate information on the gas gauge?
