Consumer Description

FUEL GAUGE ERRATICALLY MOVES DOWNWARD INAPPROPRIATELY. SEEMS TO RESET WHEN CAR RESTARTED, BUT TOTALLY UNDEPENDABLE IN TERMS OF ACCURACY. AUTO IS 3.5 YEARS OLD BUT OUT OF WARRANTY AT 60K MI. DEALER RECOMMENDS NEW FUEL TANK (WHICH INCLUDES SENDING UNIT) AND FUEL PUMP. RECOMMENDED AGAINST USED PART AS "OLD PART HAS BEEN SUPERCEDED" IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A DEFECT WHICH HAS NOT RESULTED IN A RECALL/CAMPAIGN. NOTE: REPAIR WITH PARTS AND LABOR IS $2100.00.
