What owners wrote
Fuel gauge is moving from full to empty when the vehicle is full. Dealer is saying it is a common problem, $800 for repair is the going rate. I have found may more people with the same problem. [link removed] .
Fuel level sensor failed at just over 52,000. Miles. From my research this seems to be a recurring problem with many 2006 GMC or chevrolet vehicles from the same year range 2005 to 2006. The recommendation from the dealership was "if you don't want to pay the $500.00 plus repair estimate, just do what many other people are doing and reset your trip meter at every fill up. Look to re-fuel between 250 and 300 miles." in my research I discovered a person whose vehicle did the same exact thing.
