Dealer ewing buick-Pontiac did not have part, referred to reliable chevrolet who sold us the part as specified in tech pub but was not the correct sending unit.

“I purchased a 2004 Pontiac bonnevile used. I was the 2nd owner of the car and the previous owner kept the car in top notch shape! I purchased the car in may 2007. August of 2008 I started noticing my chrome plated wheels peeling, meaning the finish on the wheels are coming off in chunks. The wheels in which the chrome plate is peeling off are becoming rusty now. Not only are my wheels rusty, the pieces peeling off are accumulating near my brakes and becoming lodged.”
