Consumer Description

FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPS TO EMPTY AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON. HAPPENED IN JULY '08 AND CAME RIGHT BACK ON. THOUGHT IT WAS A "FLUKE" THING WITH MY FUEL FLOAT IN TANK. HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK. DECIDED TO DO SOME "RESEARCHING" AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. NOT HAPPY! PURCHASED NEW AND ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES! *TR
