What owners wrote
The fuel tank gauge does not give a proper reading. When it is on 1/4 full, gauge indicates that the tank is empty. More than seven incidents happened. The dealer attemped to fix, and now there is no warranty. Also, the dealer cannot duplicate the problem.
Guess what, here is another problem for my vehicle GM. (another complaint)we've already spent nearly a $1,000, on this car. Now, taking it to the mechanic again, the had spent a hour and a half looking for now what is the fuel pump that had gone bad. I understand that parts in a vehicle have to be maintained. So when we found this out , we really enjoyed your company's "money making" scheme to have the cavaliers, new fuel pump cost around $500.
