Consumer Description

WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE FINE, BUT THEN THE THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND REVERSE THINGS SEEM TO BE NORMAL. AT THE POINT THE CAR IS PLACED INTO DRIVE, THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS THAT THERE IS NO FUEL IN THE CAR. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR WILL EITHER STALL OUT, WHILE DRIVING OR WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. IF WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING, THE CAR REPEATEDLY SHUTS OFF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, ALL GAUGES ARE MAXED OUT AND SPEED SAYS 60MPH. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY THE WHOLE TIME THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN, BUT THE CAR IS STILL FUNCTIONAL AND STILL ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. IF THE CAR SYSTEM COMES BACK ON, THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS EMPTY AND EVEN THE TRUNK POPS OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MANY REASONS. IF THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT, THERE ARE NO HEADLIGHTS OR ANY OTHER LIGHTS OR THEY'RE FLICKERING ON AND OFF THE WHOLE TIME. *TR
