1 Tank Mounting problem of the 2005 Buick Rainier

Failure Date: 09/28/2011

The fuel sensor gauge does not accurately depict how much gasoline is in the tank. When I fill up the tank it remains on "e" and the low fuel indicator light is on. The gauge will fluctuate up and down and never go all the way to "f". I am very upset that this problem is so prevalent yet gm will only cover 50% of the expenses. It is unsafe to not know the correct amount of fuel in one's vehicle.

2 Tank Mounting problem of the 2006 Buick Rainier

Failure Date: 09/15/2010

Fuel gauge on our 2006 Buick ranier does not display the correct reading for the amount of fuel in the tank. It frequently reads empty when the tank has been filled, and then reads anywhere throughout the range of the gauge, changing while driving and or when shutting the vehicle off and re-starting. We never get a correct reading of the gauge, and therefore never know when we may run out of gas. The problem started during the fall of 2010 and remains to this day.
