Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Traverse owners report experiencing incorrect fuel level readings after refueling, which can be attributed to several potential causes. Misaligned gas caps can lead to difficulties in refueling, impacting the fuel level sensor's accuracy. Additionally, topping off the tank may cause the evap purge solenoid to draw raw fuel, resulting in further inaccuracies in fuel level readings. Some owners also note that a failing fuel pump can contribute to these issues, with symptoms including stalling and difficulty restarting the engine. To mitigate these problems, it is advised to ensure the gas cap is properly aligned, avoid overfilling the tank, and check the fuel pump for any signs of malfunction. Addressing these concerns promptly can help resolve the incorrect fuel level readings in the Chevrolet Traverse.
