Default Fuel System Again

Hey, Guys whats up well had my fuel system repaired at 800 miles not to bad for a 52,000 DOLLAR CAR. BUT NOW I Have 1800 miles and the same problemis happening again this is going to be the 4th time I am visting the dealer with 1800 mile no wonder they gave me a free 5yr warrenty. Any one else have the fuel system repaired again or is this going to be a problem for the life of the car . Thinking of selling and getting some thing with less problems and cost less. I think I got a lemon.

Mine does the same thing, it's annoying, but doesn't seem to be causing any performance issues. I understand it is probably an issue with the level sensors and GM is backed up... as long as it doesn't stay on, and the car runs fine, I'm gonna hold off repairing it until they have the parts caught up...

(Don't get rid of your car because a light keeps coming on... )

It's really sad. They've had this problem for 8 model years and still it continues.

This is not the same problem. The C5 and many other manufactures have had a fuel problem. Some say it is the sulfur. The current C6 problem is a defective card in the left tank. Check Ken Fitchner's letter and TSB. I had mine replaced with the new and revised card and have had no additional problems.
