problem #4

May 012011

Rainier 6-cyl

  • 108,000 miles
My 2006 Buick Rainier has a gas gauge that does not register any fuel in the tank. When the problem began the gauge 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 and $400 to repair.

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