Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND INACCURATE! WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED IT SHOWS EMPTY AND DISPLAYS A LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING. AS THE TANK DRAWS FUEL IT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. AT ONE POINT IT WOULD STABILIZE AT A CERTAIN LEVEL BUT NOWADAYS IT EITHER SHOWS FULL OR EMPTY. I TRACK MILEAGE AND FUEL USE BUT WOULD NOT TRUST THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS SINCE THERE IS NO SURE FIRE WAY TO KNOW IF/WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL! I ONLY LET THEM USE IT WHEN I KNOW IT IS FULL AND THEY ARE ONLY MAKING SHORT LOCAL TRIPS.
