Consumer Description

FUEL TANK INDICATOR IS GIVING FALSE READINGS. *AK THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE STALLING, IT WAS REFUELED AND WAS GIVEN NO DIAGNOSIS AT THE GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE STOPPED RESPONDING TO THE PRESSING OF THE GAS PEDAL FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON, THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED BUT WAS STILL GIVEN NO DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, OBTAINED EMERGENCY FUEL, THEN IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS A FUEL PROBLEM. (THE FUEL LEVEL REGISTERED WRONG) THE 20 GALLON GAS TANK GETS 15 TO 18 MPG. THE FUEL LEVEL REGISTERS 7/8 TANK AFTER DRIVING 100 MILES CURRENTLY. BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO PAY FOR REPAIR AND DENIED THE RECALL #97V194000 . *SC *JB
