Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a defective gas gauge which will move up and down while driving. at times when i fill up it will register 3/4 when in fact it is full. due to this failure i fill up every time i go more than 200 miles. to accomplish this i must keep a sheet and enter every time i fill up and must remember to turn the trip mileage back to zero each time. i have been in contact with gm since november of 2006 and all they say is "its a design change".car was purchased in june 2006 but i did not notice it till october 2006 because my wife had gone through major back surgery in may 2006 and i was too busy caring for her and run the house to notice the gas gauge. *tr
