Default Any one have any gas gauge problems?

I was wondering if anyone has any gas gauge reading problems. Mine fluctuates between full and empty on the gauge and electronic read out too. I dont know if this is because i take corners to fast. Also i have problems filling up. It stops pumping even though its not full. Anyone have theese problems too?

My gauge takes a while to read that Ive put gas in the tank. Noticed it about a few days ago when it started. No idea what it is.

I heard its somthing about the baffels in the gas tank, that it takes a while for gas to flow through them to the next chamber. But im not for certain.

I did one time. I filled up the car and when I got in to take off I started in and the gauge took about 30 minutes to show full. I haven't had any problems since then. But if it does happen again I'll have the dealership look at it since I still am under warrenty.

This will help if you decide to take it in to the dealership (print it out)...

I've had the pump kick off on me before too. It happened to me 3 fillups in a row and then hasn't happened since.The only problem with that TSB is that it's for '05-'06 and I have an '07.

I don't have the IUP so I only have the regular gas gauge and there have been a couple of times that the gauge has taken a long time to register full as well. I know I filled up the tank by the amount of gallons I put in it but the gauge didn't want to register full. Really threw me for a loop the first time it happened. But it's such a rare occurance that how do I take it into the dealership??? They most likely won't be able to duplicate it.
