i have a 07 c6 that at 5k miles, the fuel guage went to empty and the "service fuel system" message displayed on the DIC. just picked the car up from the service department at the dealership yesterday, and before i could make it to the freeway onramp, the guage dropped to empty again, and the service message reappeared.
i've asked the dealership numerous times if the fuel sending unit has been updated or not, as i remember this being an issue with 05-06 models, and that there was TSB for them. They told me that "these cars are alway built with the most updated revision of parts" and didnt bother to check the part numbers.
I've searched the forums here and at a few other places, and everyone who had the same problem said that late 06 there was to be a superceded part, but i couldnt find anyone that posted that they received the "new & updated" part. Was it ever released? Or are they going to keep putting in a part that is going to fail on me as soon as i drive off the lot?
I'm trying to keep a level head about this since the dealership/service department are not the ones build built the car or the fuel sending unit, they are just following the replacement procedures, but this is pretty frustrating that i buy a brand new car, and i'm already having repeat problems with it. I've had a bad taste of that with my sisters new mercedes benz that had gone to the dealership 8 times for a mysteious stall&die problem, that they couldnt figure out and had to lemon law the car for her.
