Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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. *jb
