This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Looking at the complaints and service bulletins, it's obvious that GM has a problem with their fuel level gauge sending unit in the tank. I also have the problem, along with many others in the area. It appears that no one intends to do anything about it. It appears that someone is going to have to run out of gas in the middle of a busy highway, and when trying to get off the hwy, somebody gets killed, before anything is done. Or, one of our wives gets stranded by running out of gas, and raped and/or murdered, before anything is done. This will keep going until one of the above incidents occurs and a class action suit of all the people that have the problem come together in the suit. We all know what happens then. The lawyers win, and everybody else looses. Fixing the problem would certainly be the cheapest corrective action in the long run.
The consumer stated the fuel gauge malfunctioned. Dealer notified.. the fuel gauge was 3/4 full, however the truck ran out of gas 20 miles from the nearest gas station.. the dealer stated there were multiple problems with the fuel sensor with this particular make and model.
A popping sound was coming from fuel tank. Vehicle been in / out of dealer shop on four occasions, and had various repairs done, but problem still occurred. Feel free to provide us with any further details on this matter.
