Contact states the gas gauge is reading full at all times. It doesn't show that gasoline tank is empty until the vehicle runs out of gas. The vehicle has not been to a service dealer. This has happened since the vehicle hit 50,000 miles. The vehicle now has 58,000 miles.

Fuel gauge reads full when empty and empty when under 3/4 of a tank. Message center alarms telling me that I am out of fuel but when I stop at the gas station it will only hold no more than five dallors. Also I have had to have the break lights replaced sevrel times. The rear motorized window on the driver side does not always shut when pressing the button. And engine is quick to overheat. Also the passanger sliding door does not always latch properly, lock and unlock when buttons pressed. The sad thing about it is I have only had the van for just under a year. The van is only five years old and I am already having this kind of problems out of it. Needless to say I will never own another Pontiac (GM).

Consumer complained about gas gauge problem. Sometimes gas gauge registered empty when gas tank was full, and full when it was empty. Took vehicle to the dealer, and was told that the cost to repair the problem was over $500.
