My husband and I noticed on Saturday that the fuel gauge is starting to act wonky. We filled it up Thursday(full tank) and by Saturday with only driving 10 miles(5 miles to wal-mart and 5 miles back) that the fuel gauge was reading 3/4 tank full....that's not right.
Then when I made a turn, I can't remember if it was a left or right turn, the tanks gauge said full again.
Today I went down to the gas station, and when I started the truck it was a bit below 3/4 tank, it was like that the whole way to the gas station until I turned into my subdivision. I made a left hand turn into the neighborhood and it said full tank again.
This has never happened in the Envoy ever since I have owned it. I have only experienced this with one other vehicle and that was in my Buick Rendezvous. It was so bad in the Buick that we almost ran out of gas twice while out of town.
I know there is a problem with the filler neck(i think thats what its called) where it stops the gas pump prematurely, but we don't go by when the pump shuts off unless we have the appropriate amount of fuel per gallons on the gas pump itself because of this issue, so I know that the $75.00 it cost to fill up the tank was a sufficient amount.
Any idea's as to why this is now happening? What do I have to fix now?
Thanks
