Consumer Description

ON WINDING TURNS AND HILLS CAR WOULD ACT AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS, ESPECIALLY IF TANK FELL BELOW HALF. CAR STALL ON ONE OCCASSIONS BUT ON OTHERS I TOOK FOOT OFF GAS AND MANAGED TO RECOVER POWER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER AND PUMP (WITH THE EXPLANATION THAT IT WAS FAILING UNDER HEAVY LOAD). WHILE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REPEATED ITSELF, THE CAR FEELS MORE SLUGGISH THAN IT USED TO. I ALSO TRY TO KEEP THE TANK ABOVE HALF FULL, AS SEVERAL SITES HAVE RECOMMENDED.
