I took my car to the dealer for several problems one of them being that sometimes I go to fill my car up and it would stop like if it was full after a couple of gallons and it won't let me fill up.
They said they fixed it, but now when I fill up all the way (15 gallons) the needle only reads 3/4 of a tank. I took it back they said they fix some sensors, can't remember the name.
After a week of driving I notice that I drove over 420 miles, but the needle says I still have 1/4 of a tank left. I went to the gas station put about 5 gallons and the needle won't move. I took it back to the dealer. They said they found something else wrong and fixed it.
So right after leaving the dealership I go to the nearest gas station and fill my car up again, this time I put 18 gallons and they needle is back to reading only 3/4 of a tank. I call the dealership and they said to bring it back tomorrow.
It kinda sucks, but at least the service manager is really cool about me going back all the times, I am still under warranty and I get a G37 as a loaner each time free of charge.
Hopefully they will fix it tomorrow and I will ask him to write down everything they have replaced due to this problem and I will update you guys.
The first time dealership replaced the shutter valve, then the sending unit and the last time they said they found the baffle bent. Now my car is working fine

Dealer just replaced my passenger side sensor because it always read 1/8 below F on fill up. Now it reads 1/8 over F on a fill up.

Can someone help?
I want to clean my sensors as my gauge never indicates full after a fillup, but I can't get the rear seat out. I have the service manual and when I follow their instruction to lift the seat off the retaining pin and pull forward, I can't get it off the pin!
I've pulled as hard as I can but no go. Is there a trick to this?!?
Thanks
