Consumer Description

WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE FALLS BELOW 1/2 TANK OF GAS (ESPECIALLY BELOW A 1/4 TANK) A FAULTY SENSOR CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER STEERING, BREAKS ETC. THIS HAPPENS EXCLUSIVELY WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND COMING TO A HALT (SUCH AS AT A STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT OR MAKING A SUDDEN HALT TO TURN). IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2012. IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS SITUATION WE HAVE TO KEEP THE FUEL TANK ABOVE 1/2 TANK AT ALL TIMES. *TR
