Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of SAAB 9-7x

The fuel gauge on my vehicle became faulty. The meter would work only till half tank and after that the guage would go straight down to e or empty. Fuel sensor recall.

My fuel gauge read empty after I filled up my tank. After driving for a few miles my service engine soon light came on. It will spontaneously read full, then empty then partially full then near empty etc etc. In researching this topic this seems to be a well documented issue for gm and it appears in the luck of the draw now my vehicle joins the large number of vehicles with this issue. I don't see a recall for this in my research for my 2007 97-x. Is there a broader scope recall?? some sites indicate a willingness of gm to pay half the cost?? seems odd that if this is something that is common among gm vehicles why would gm not honor a repair of a known faulty design??.

Fuel gauge stopped reporting actual level of fuel in the tank about 2 years ago. Guage remains pointed at 1/4 full tank level at all times. Forced to keep track of fuel level by resetting the milage tracker at each tank fill-up. When miles reach around 250 its time to find a gas station to fill up again. Have run out of gas 5-10 times in the last 2 years. Several of the sudden "out-of-gas" events were also false. Vehicle had gas, but engine stalled as though it had run out of gas. Car was pulled to the side of interstate and coasted to nearby gas station.

After fueling up my tank my gas light stayed on along with my engine light. I took it to a local auto parts store to get it scanned and it ended up being my fuel sensor. The needle floats between full and empty as I drive down the road. I have a family of 8 and 5 of us able to drive. I would like my vehicle to work properly so one of my family members do not become stranded because of this well know faulty fuel sensor. (which seems to be a manufacturing flaw) I work with others that had the same issue but with related vehicles all with the gmt360 platform and had their sensors replaced which general motors covered but I am wondering why the '06 SAAB 97x does not have a recall.

I stopped to get gas today and filled my tank all the way up. Upon re-starting the vehicle that fuel gauge said it was completely empty. I drove a few miles and the check engine light came on. After 40 miles or so, the fuel gauge went back to full but the check engine light stayed on. Then for the next 10-15 miles the fuel gauge jumped back and forth from empty to full. The check engine light never went off. I am worried it is going to shut down on my on the highway like some other people have said! this scares me. . . And it only just turned over 60k miles today! gm please step in and fix this problem before people start dying. . . Seriously! this is dangerous and I am nervous to drive my SAAB now.

When the fuel gauge falls below 1/2 tank of gas (especially below a 1/4 tank) a faulty sensor causes the engine to seize and shut off. The vehicle loses all power steering, breaks etc. This happens exclusively when the car is in motion and coming to a halt (such as at a stop sign, stop light or making a sudden halt to turn). It is extremely dangerous. This has happened countless times since we purchased the vehicle in 2012. In order to avoid this situation we have to keep the fuel tank above 1/2 tank at all times.

Fuel gauge in 2006 SAAB 9 7 x stopped working and reads empty upon startup and with fuel in tank.
