Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A FUEL GAUGE THAT WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN WHILE CAR IS STILL. TODAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A CODE P0464-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THE FUEL IN VEHICLE IS AT HALF AND THE GAUGE WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY (WITH EMPTY LIGHT COMING ON) THEN IT WOULD GO BACK TO HALF AND MOVE EVERY NOW AND THEN. THE VEHICLE IS AT 83000. SO FAR THE THE GAUGE IS SOMEWHAT WORKING BUT IS VERY FRUSTRATING KNOWING THAT THIS CAN BE A $500 REPAIR SINCE IT WILL INVOLVE THE GAS TANK. THIS CAN MAKE FOR A BAD SITUATION IF THE GAUGE COMPLETELY FAILS.
