fuel gauge

We love our 2006 Cobalt SS. One question is, whenever we fill it up the fuel gauge does not go to the "F" when filled. Any ideas, should have the dealer take a look right? Once the pump clicks off during fill up time at the Sunoco station should I try and sqeeze more in. I know it sounds like a dumb question but I am just trying to find out if anyone else has had similar issues. Thanks

There's a TSB out for this and a computer reflash to fix the problem.

hey man, no question is a stupid question here...

A TSB is a Technical Service Bulletin. It just means a fix that your car company can do 2 fix a problem that other car owners like urself has have...anyone correct me, if I'm wrong.

He's exactly right. It's not a safety issue that warrants a recall, but it's a common problem with the car that the company either has or is working on a fix for.

Mine and the wifes SS did that for the first two fill-ups. Then it started to read full all the time, guess it fixed itself.
