Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2006 Buick Rainier

My 2006 Buick Rainier has a gas guage that does not register any fuel in the tank. When the problem began the guage would go up to the whatever level of fuel was in the tank but now it registers empty all the time. I have taken the vehicle to repair shop and found out this is a pervasive general motors problem with these types of vehicles. The repair is going to cost between $300. 00 and $400. 00 to repair.

Buick Rainier fuel gauge reads empty but tank is full.

Gas guage failed at approx. 75000 miles. After researching on line, this seems to be a defect in the guage inside the fuel tank.

The fuel gauge stopped working and the check engine light came on at about 65k miles in February 2009. I took the vehicle to the dealer where I purchased and was told that the fuel sensor inside the gas tank had failed and that the repair would not be covered under warranty because the 60k miles had been exceeded. Not being able to afford this costly repair has forced me to continue to use the trip meter on the odometer as a way to estimate my fuel level. It is now 4 years later and I have never received any notice of recall or service notice from the manufacturer or dealer. The vehicle now has over 125k miles and apparently no longer qualifies for the offer from gm of splitting the repair cost with the customer. I have not received any notification from gm or my dealer of any offer of assistance with this issue. Gm obviously installed faulty equipment and the fact that they expect their so called valued customer to pay at all for correcting this type of issue is not good business practice. I guess that I'm not that valued a customer as I brought this issue to their attention in 2009, repair was denied under warranty and I have never received any service notice regarding this issue.
