Consumer Description

THE FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC AFTER I FILL THE TANK, THE GAUGE GOES DIRECTLY TO EMPTY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 2 MILES. IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF WHEN THERE WAS ABOUT A HALF TANK OF GAS LEFT. IT DID THIS FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS, NOW IT EITHER SAYS THE CAR IS EMPTY OR FULL. NOW AFTER FILLING MY CAR I HAVE TO SET THE ODOMETER TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILES I HAVE DRIVEN IN THE CAR. *TR
