Consumer Description

DESPITE FUEL GAUGE READING OVER 1/4 TANK CAR STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY AND NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION; THANKFULLY NO ONE HURT. DESPITE SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE WITH 2008XC70 NO RECALL EVER ISSUED. SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO NHTSA, I BELIEVE A RECALL IS APPROPRIATE DUE TO THE OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS AND BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO THE 2008 MODEL- OBVIOUSLY IT WAS FIXED ON ALL THE FUTURE MODELS.
