Consumer Description

AFTER FUELING THE CAR, THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR EITHER SHOWS THE TANK AS EMPTY OR A RANDOM LEVEL (NEVER FULL, ALTHOUGH THE TANK WAS JUST FILLED). THE LEVEL FROM THEN ON IS ALWAYS UNRELIABLE AND FLUCTUATES AT RANDOM LEVELS; THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK AT ANY TIME. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT ME KNOWING AND STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR WHILE CROSSING TRAIN TRACKS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, THE INDICATOR NEVER SHOWS FULL WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK. IT SHOWS EMPTY OR 1/4 FULL AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE LEVEL GOES UP TO A LEVEL THAT I KNOW IT IS TOO HIGH FOR THE AMOUNT OF DRIVING THAT I HAVE DONE. *TR
