My gas gauge doesn't work and the only time it does is when the needle floats back and forth between E and F. I'm not sure why this is but when I research about it there are many of complaints regarding the same issue. I would just like to know if the reason is a faulty GM part or if this happens all the time.

Our car gas gauge moves up and down. I can fill it up, then the next it goes to E and the fuel light comes on warning you to get gas. The needle goes to full to empty moves back and forth. I saw this is happening on GM models. This is a GM. Is there a recall yet.

I drive a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix & in August of 2003, my "service engine soon" light came on..I took it to a dealer, faulkner Pontiac, in trevose, pa who stated there were "no leaks found & reprogrammed PCM with updated calibration." Then in mid February 2004, my "service engine soon" light came on again. My mechanic said it may be an emissions related problem & to take it to my dealer, in case it will be covered under the emissions warranty. (80,000 miles) I am presently at 44,000 miles. The light was coming off & on and on wed. March 17, 2004, I took my car to fairway automotive group, jenkintown, pa. They said after running a diagnostic, found: "diag scan found PO440 performed smoke out test found fuel tank leak! they said my car could have exploded or caught on fire! and this is not a recall? I contacted GM Monday March 22, 2004 to no avail, to my satisfaction. I feel I could have been driving a dangerous vehicle for the last few months, or even since February & I'm very concerned about this fuel tank leak. Of course I had it fixed by fairway automotive group, about $370 later & feel this should be a recall by GM. Your help is apreciated. Thank you dona.
