This problem started roughly February 7th, 2018; I’d say the car was just under 100,000, closer to 98k. The video listed was the following morning. I had just gotten off the interstate to get gas on a 419mi trip, filled up, and after restarting my car, this is what happened.

I freaked out at first, turned the car off and started it back up a few times, and finally got it to read the right fuel amount. Then, for the next 6 or 7 months, any time I would fill up my vehicle, the gas gauge would read empty for the first 1/4 of a tank, and then suddenly register & read the correct amount. Now, it almost always either reads empty or full, regardless of the amount of gas in the tank. Occasionally it will read when the tank is almost empty and suddenly, instead of the estimated miles remaining flipping back and forth from fuel range low to the amount it would have on full, it shows just fuel range low and I better get my behind to a gas station quick. I use the trip on the IP now to sort of guess how many miles I have left and try to fill up around 200mi used, just to be sure. It’s just a pain.

I haven’t had the car looked at, because it doesn’t necessarily affect my day to day activities. It just sucks to have to guess on fuel mileage every time. God forbid I forget to reset the trip.

About three years ago, when we would fill the gas tank, it would "ding", gas warning light would go on and it registered as empty until I'd driven about 5 miles. Now, after two years of it just be annoying, it shows full all the time and we've run out of gas twice on the highway. Now we use our trip odometer to track how many miles we've driven, but it's a real pain. I'm told it's expensive to fix - but I've also heard that lots of people have had this problem. We're at 120K miles and it's been a problem since about 85K.

The gas gauge stopped working about 2 years ago. My friend taught me how to use the trip set to calculate my mileage. Now I can't even use that. It's not even calculating properly and I am running out of gas every time I turn around. What is going with this?

I've research this issue to see if there has been a recall on this and from what I can see there hasn't been but should be due to the amount of vehicles that have the issues out there. I feel GM should be totally responsible for the replacement of any or all parts and find out what in the heck is causing this problem. I do not have the money to have someone drop my gas tank and try to figure this out for me. Please help me with any answers or other suggestions from others that have the same problem. Thanking you for your time, Regina

My wife has been in contact with GM with this problem . At the insistence of GM,we spent $100.00 for a dealer tech to agree that the gauge was not functioning properly. The solution was to replace the fuel level sensor at a cost of $485.00. Fortunately this took less then two hours. We forwarded this information to GM and were informed that the issue was caused by wear and tear per the Dealer. Therefore GM is not responsible for any repair. I am unsure how this was determined and have been unable to contact the customer service rep at GM for any further information. The bottom line is that if the sensor is not replaced the check engine light will come on and will not pass inspection in the state of Georgia. ( there was a 2005 Malibu in the shop at the same time that needed the same repair to pass inspection). I am also concerned that with all the e-mails sent there is not a single reply. The phone replies have all been given without any reference number or complaint code. It seems that they want to call and forget. Face book is next
