Consumer Description

DUE TO THE ERROR IN THE FUEL GAUGE(INDICATING MORE FUEL THAN THE VEHICLE HAD) THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILTY ON BOARD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS I WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND WAS NOT GIVEN A LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT. THIS ERROR IN FUEL LEVEL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY AND I REQUEST A OEM RECALL TO CORRECT GAUGE OR SENSOR ERRORS, OUR FUEL GAUGE IS STILL NOT DISPLAYING ACCURATE READINGS, WE DO NOT TRUST THE GAURE ANYLONGER. WE HAVE ALSO SEEN "WILD GAUGE SWINGS/LISTINGS" AT RANDOM INTERVALS
