The fuel gauge on my vehicle became faulty. The meter would work only till half tank and after that the guage would go straight down to E or empty. Fuel sensor recall

Fuel gauge stopped reporting actual level of fuel in the tank about 2 years ago. Guage remains pointed at 1/4 full tank level at all times. Forced to keep track of fuel level by resetting the milage tracker at each tank fill-up. When miles reach around 250 its time to find a gas station to fill up again. Have run out of gas 5-10 times in the last 2 years. Several of the sudden "out-of-gas" events were also false. Vehicle had gas, but engine stalled as though it had run out of gas. Car was pulled to the side of interstate and coasted to nearby gas station.

My fuel gauge read empty after I filled up my tank. After driving for a few miles my service engine soon light came on. It will spontaneously read full, then empty then partially full then near empty etc etc. In researching this topic this seems to be a well documented issue for GM and it appears in the luck of the draw now my vehicle joins the large number of vehicles with this issue. I don't see a recall for this in my research for my 2007 97-X. is there a broader scope recall"? some sites indicate a willingness of GM to pay half the cost?? seems odd that if this is something that is common among GM vehicles why would GM not honor a repair of a known faulty design?"

After filling up at the gas station a few days ago, I started the car and I got the low fuel light and warning ding. I turned the car off, restarted it and it showed I had a full tank of gas. As I drove to work (less the 2 miles) the gauge quickly went back down to empty and the light/ding came on. Over the next few days it did this constantly so I had it looked at today. $500!! to fix.

For the past two year I have been getting intermediate false fuel readings. The gauge would read empty or close to it. One time it stated I had more gas then I really did, causing me to run out of gas on the freeway. As time went on, the issue became more frequent. It is becoming a dangerous issue.
