Consumer Description

WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK, AND WOULD DRIVE AWHILE,THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ LOW FUEL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE GAS CAP. HOWEVER, I REPLACED THAT AND IT STILL HAPPENED. HOW IT IS TO THE POINT, WHERE THE FUEL GAUGE EITHER READS FULL OR STAYS AT LOW FUEL. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON. MY SERVICE TECH HAS ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE MODEL. *TR
