AFTER FILLING THE TANK I DROVE FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AND I LOOKED AT THE TANK AND IT SHOWED I HAD GAS SO I KEPT DRIVING, SOON THE ENGINE STOPPED AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED BY MY TRUCK AND I AM DISABLED. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE SERVICE STATION FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OTHER THAN THEY ADDED GAS AND IT STARTED AND RAN FINE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THAT THE GAS WAS NOT GOING DOWN ON THE GAUGE LIKE IT SHOULD. ONE DAY I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED IT AND THE LOW FUEL SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A CHIME , THE (DIC) SAID THE FUEL WAS LOW BUT I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP AND HAD ONLY DRIVEN A FEW MILES. THE LOW GAS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NOW EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND IT WILL CHIME EVERY TIME I START IT UP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED IT WAS A WORN FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND HE HAS HAD SEVERAL GM VEHICLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DISABLED AND HAVE PROBLEMS GETTING AROUND IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR
