Consumer Description

AFTER FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE GAS GAGE GOES TO ZERO AND THE TANK EMPTY WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 2 TO 3 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 10-15 MILES THE GAS GAGE RETURNS TO SHOWING ACTUAL LEVEL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT. HOWEVER, AT ABOUT A TANK LEVEL OF ABOUT 1/4 THE TANK IS NEAR EMPTY. THIS ERRATIC MALFUNCTION OF THE GAS GAGE IS DANGEROUS.
