Consumer Description

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT ACCURATELY REPORTING FUEL LEVEL. WHEN FUEL LEVEL IS TOO LOW, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT RESTART. LOW LEVEL WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. VEHICLE HAS TO BE JUMP STARTED IN ORDER TO RESET SECURITY MECHANISM. CAN CAUSE TRAFFIC ISSUES AND/OR COLLISION FROM ABRUPTNESS OF ISSUE AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING WHEREVER YOU ARE. I CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT A PROBLEM IT WOULD BE IF IT HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION OR RUNNING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. SINCE THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, THIS WOULD MEAN POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WOULD BE NON-FUNCTIONAL INCREASING THE POTENTIAL RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT OR COLLISION. *TR
