Consumer Description

GAS GAUGE SHOWED 1/3 FULL & IT SUDDENLY DROPPED TO EMPTY. "MILESTO EMPTY" WENT FROM 142 TO 14, THEN 6. UPON STARTING THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING, FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/3 FULL THEN DROPPED TO EMPTY AGAIN. "MILES TO EMPTY" SHOWED 2. I DROVE 8 MILES THEN ADDED 14 GALLONS OF GAS TO FILL THE 23 GALLON TANK. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE THEN. ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME I HAD TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING AS IT WAS A SENSOR ISSUE. ANOTHER TOLD ME THE CAR ACTUALLY HAS TWO GAS TANKS & THE FUEL PUMP VACUUM WAS PROBABLY NOT PICKING UP THE FUEL FROM THE SECOND TANK PROPERLY. HE SAID THE DEALERSHIP FIXED A 2005 PACIFICA WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
