Consumer Description

MY FUEL GAUGE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE HIGHEST IT WOULD GO WAS 1/4 TANK OF GAS AFTER PUTTING IN $70 WORTH OF GAS. AND THAT FLUCTUATED EVERYDAY. ONE MOMENT IT WOULD HAVE 1/4 THEN NOTHING. I HAD TO USE MY TRIP METER UNTIL I HAD THE MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE FUEL SENSOR SHORTED. I KNOW THAT MY CAR IS A 2005 WITH 87K MILES, BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OUT THERE, I AM SHOCKED THERE IS NO RECALL YET. ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR
