GAS LEVER INDICATOR WAS INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. THE ELECTRICAL POWER THAT FED TO FUEL PUMP HAD MELTED, AND FUSED ITSELF TO GAS LEVER INDICATOR WIRE , CAUSING IMPROPER READING OF GAS GAUGE. THIS WIRE WAS INSIDE GAS TANK. THESE WIRES SHOULD NOT GET THAT HOT BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. CONSUMER STILL HAS THE OLD FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY. *AK *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER ONLY HAVING THIS NEW TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS THE TRANSMISSION WAS TAKEN OUT OF IT DUE TO A TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC WAS ADVISED BY GM TO TAKE OUT THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE A FLYWHEEL. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF WAITING FOR A PART I PICKED UP MY TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY THE NOISE WAS BACK. I HAVE HAD 2 GM REPS LISTEN TO THE NOISE. THE SECOUND REP TOLD ME THAT IT WAS "ENTRAINED GASSES" AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I DID NOT PURCHASE THIS TRUCK MAKING THE NOISE AND DO NOT WANT IT ANYMORE AFTER THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT.*AK
