In 2010 I learned my vehicle had an outstanding recall notice (07V349000) for a defective gas tank. I had the tank replaced by the dealer. Yesterday evening I noticed a strong odor of gasoline when I stepped near my vehicle. I went to my local ase certified mechanic and had him inspect the gas tank. He found it was leaking significantly at the filler neck. I then took the car to the dealer that had done the replacement. I requested they replace the defective tank. The told me the warranty was good for only one year or 12,000 miles. I told them that did not make sense. They replaced a supposedly defective unit with a defective unit. There is no visible damage to the gas tank. I got in touch with GM customer service dept. And they advised me to have the car inspected by the dealer and we would proceed from there. They will charge me $58 ( I don't know if it is taxable or not) to get the ball rolling. The mileage at the time of the original replacement was 122,727. The current mileage is 147,583. That equates to a little over 8,000 miles per year, in Florida.

Fuel gauge inappropriately reports amount of fuel in tank. Gauge fails at approximately 15 gallons used. The tank sensor indicates no fuel upon reaching the above amount until the car is restarted which at that time reads full even when less is present. While driving the gauge will again return to the empty state even when adequate fuel is present in tank. This situation will continue until the tank is refilled. When refilled the amount of gasoline measured at the pump and indicated as needed is inaccurate up to 3 gallons more needed to fill tank.
