I READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT GM'S POSSIBLE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE ISSUE IN THE 4/30/2011 NEWSPAPER. I HAVE A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS CXL PURCHASED AS A GM CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM A LOCAL GM DEALER. THE FUEL GAUGE WANDERS BY 1/4 OF A TANK. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 5-OR 6 TIMES TOTAL AND THEY HAVE INSTALLED A NEW SENDER/GAUGE, REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND IT STILL ACTS THE SAME WAY. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND I MUST ALWAYS KEEP IT ABOVE HALF FULL SO I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. I WAS FINALLY TOLD BY A SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WANDERING GAUGE BUT IT CAN'T BE FIXED AND I MUST JUST LIVE WITH IT. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND AM "LIVING WITH IT" UNTIL I SELL IT AND BUY ANOTHER CAR, PROBABLY NEXT YEAR. I FEEL THE BUICK RENDEZVOUS SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF PROBLEM VEHICLES. *TR
