Gas Gauge Not Working!?

What is your question?

I have a 2002 Chevy impala, 3800, 6 cylinder, 3.8 liter and the gas gauge doesn't work, if i'm driving it shows i have a full tank of gas and if i'm not moving the gauge moves around and sometimes says its empty when it clearly is not. what is the problem?
