Consumer Description

BEGINNING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE GAUGE FLUCTUATES FROM HALF FULL TO EMPTY. MANY TIMES THE GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 TO EMPTY BUT THE TANK IS EMPTY. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS NUMEROUS TIMES (AT LEAST 10 TIMES) OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS BECAUSE THE GAUGE SHOWS I HAVE GAS AND THE TANK IS EMPTY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE DEALER SAID THEY CHECKED IT BUT FOUND NO PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I NOW HAVE TO FILL UP THE TANK WHEN THE GAUGE READS HALF EMPTY TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE GAUGE IS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. *TR
