The contact owns a 2005 Buick Rainier. The contact stated the fuel gauge sensor failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Fuel system sensor was the first to malfunction. Then the oil gauge is malfunctioning and now air suspension and other systems are starting to not work properly.
. This just started with my last fill up of gas. The gauge is starting to go up and down. Not sure if gas gauge is correct.
Vehicle fuel gauge started fluctuating from full to empty, and vehicle would pause while accelerating. Dealer priced repair at $535. This problem started at 47,500 miles and now fuel gauge is stuck on empty. Vehicle still randomly hesitates on acceleration. Apparently this is a common problem on gm raniers, trailblazers, yukons, etc. Gm has been aware of this problem/defect for some time with no response.
The contact owns a 2005 Buick Rainier. The contact stated that the fuel indicator gauge would read inaccurately, making it difficult for the contact to detect how much fuel was in the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the fuel sensor would need replacing. The manufacturer assisted the contact with repairs to the vehicle. The failure mileage was 102,000 and the current mileage was 112,000.
Fuel gauge sensor malfunction. Correct fuel level not indicated on interior of vehicle. Reads as always empty.
Gas guage is inaccurate- does not read gasoline level correctly 2005 Buick ranier.
Fuel gauge registers inaccurate readings, giving false "low fuel" warnings immediately after fill up and dropping to e unpredictably at other times, causing great consternation at being "run over" on the freeway or stranded without proper warning. The gauge seems to bounce up and down at will. This is an '05 Buick Rainier, under 47k miles, sister vehicle to chevy trailblazer and GMC envoy which are already documented with this problem.
Three years ago the fuel sensor on my Buick rainer failed. Gm has issued a bulletin on the repair that covers 50% of the cost. I view this as an acknowledgement from gm that there is an issue with the sensor. I took the vehicle to a Buick dealer and they informed me that the out of pocket expense to repair this item is around $200. After numerous calls to customer service I gave up on trying to get gm to cover 100% of the cost. After talking to your office I understand that the engineers are still looking into this issue. Do you know when this will be resolved?.
