Consumer Description

UPON FILLING THE CAR WITH FUEL AND TURNING THE KEY ON, THE FUEL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY. TURNING THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON MANY TIMES DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, IF DRIVEN SOMETIMES THE GAS LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT TURN OFF ON ITS OWN AND THE FUEL GAUGE READS PROPERLY. HOWEVER, IT SHOWS AFTER 5 MILES OF DRIVING THAT THERE IS ONLY A HALF A TANK EVEN THROUGH THE GAS TANK IS FULL. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON FUEL PUMPS PERTAINING TO THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION. *TR
