Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2000. IN AUGUST OF THE SAME YEAR I WAS LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE READ 1/2 TANK AND WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. I WAS TOWED INTO TOWN AND LUCKILY MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL SENDER. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED FIVE MORE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. I'M ASTONISHED THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED MORE THOROUGHLY AND A RECALL ENGAGED. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.*AK
