2006 GMC Envoy gas gauge problem - GMC BUYERS BEWARE

Well...
I'm new to this Forum, but I see there's many here and on Trailblazer/Envoy Forum that have had a time with this gas gauge problem. I've owned a 2006 since 26K miles and mine started going out in mid-2010 with about 90-100K miles on it. Back than the estimates were WAY to High to afford, plus it seemed to be a 'new' issue, that GM hadn't decided to address... Well... a Long-g-g story short... 15 CSAA Fuel calls for stranded GMC vehicle on the side of the Freeway, wife and children at times ALONE and in the LATE evenings. What a NIGHTMARE and SAFETY Hazard this has been, dodging traffic to get out the Hammer Lane when all of the sudden GMC power drops..and no Fuel because gauge was WRONG...
I FINALLY received my letter several months ago, only to find GM in their Infinite Wisdom, is ONLY viewing this as a Safety Bulletin vs a RECALL... Now with 10 Yrs or 120K Allowance for the 50% Share in Repair Costs, my GMC now has 150K.
So JUST this morning, I call a Local Roseville, CA GMC Dealership and ask what they can do to assist me in MY CHALLENGE.. The Dealership Rep says since my vehicle can NOT be Warrantied as per the Bulletin/Letter, that they could perform a diagnostic for $80-100.00 to tell me what I already know. ALSO, he INformed me to perform the service it would cost me about $1200.00 for a Fuel Level Sensor that costs $162.29. I asked shouldn't the Fuel Pump Module/w Sending Unit and Filter be changed as we've run out of fuel SO MANY TIMES?? He indicates if it's ONLY the Sensor, NO... I say and what if later down the road the Pump goes out?? Guess What GMC Envoy Owners, One gets to Pay another $1200.00...
WHAT A DEAL !!!
I Asked don't they want to Keep Customers as with 150K I will soon be purchasing another vehicle??? NOT.... They DON'T CARE..
I won't be considering another GMC much less a GM Product on my Next Purchase... How would you feel...
So Much For Loyal Customer Care... This is FOUL...
GM/GMC BUYERS BEWARE.

A Dissatisfied GMC Envoy Owner....
