problem #1

Jun 222006

G6 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,579 miles
The fuel gauge in my 2006 Pontiac G6 does not accurately register the amount of fuel in the vehicle once the gauge reaches the fourth of a tank mark. The was one incident when the vehicle registered empty when my car was full of gas. The dealership has made 3 attempts to fix this problem. To date the vehicle is still giving a false reading with the fuel gauge when it reaches one fourth of a tank. The gauge moves sporadically from 1/4 to 1/8 to empty, and back to 1/4 and so on. The service department has verified that the Pontiac G6 has replicated this problem with 2 other vehicles in their service department, but claims this is a common feature for the Pontiac G6. I spoke to an engineer affiliated with the prototype Pontiac G6, and he stated that the vehicle should not be doing this. He suggested that there was a problem with the electrical or software maintenance. I have requested a re-purchase be done on my vehicle, but this has been refused. I am being stone walled by two individuals, and all I requested is that a Pontiac engineer be contacted to verify whether this is a problem that needs to be addressed.
