Update:

Picked up the vehicle today and it was a challenge trying to see the replaced parts - they did constantly assure me and provided the detailed list of items on the work order. They also found another issue I had mentioned (squeaky front suspension) and replaced the front guide link bushings as per an existing TSB. They drove the car for about 4 miles (street and highway), so here's hoping all will be well. I guess I'll be truly comfortable only if no issues come up after a few weeks of my usual driving.

Total estimated cost of the job would've been about $2,500 if out of warranty. Crazy!

My fuel gauge reading was faulty brand new from the factory. They replaced the sensor, and then had to remove the whole rear end, gas tank, axles and all, to replace the real faulty component. The first service was a sensor accessible under the rear seat. This didn't work. I recently saw a new fuel sensor error in the computer, but all seems to be working since the second service to replace something from Germany about a year ago.

I had started noticing incorrect readings, a few months into owning the vehicle, though I didn't pay any attention to it since it mostly "self-corrected" itself eventually - never mentioned it to the dealer, either. It wasn't until the sensor triggered the CEL that this whole adventure began.
