What owners wrote
Filled up the tank and when I went to leave the fuel gauge did not work. The gauge would go to e when I turned on the engine but would not go any higher. Then after driving it would slowly go back up and drift down towards e again. It acts like the fuel float is saturated. As the fuel level would get low. The gauge would start to work normal. Once I would get gas the next time it would start to do the same thing again.
" takata recall" GM said my recall had expired on the fuel sensor in 2015..I had it replace twice...2007 and 2009...so many recalls could not remember until going through files and found I did have these replaced
