Gas gauge

[timetovette]

I'm looking for direction here about the gas gauge. Twice now since I've owned the car and only after I've filled up, the gas gauge stops working, usually for less than a minute, but a message appears stating to service the fuel system.I've contacted the dealer and they say its from overfilling the tank. I stopped topping off the tank after the pump stops and the problem has not repeated itself. Been about a month now with no repeats.Problem is, dealer says its big job to replace the sensor if I want it done. I believe the tank has to be removed and who knows what new problems that might create.Should I get it done? Joe

Nope. There is a TSB on the float in the tank. This is a known recall.
BTW The fix is NOT easy. The tranny must be dropped to access the tank and replace this float device. About a 8 hour, full day fix per car.

Sorry..
