Consumer Description

FAULTY FUEL SENSOR GAUGE. WHEN TRYING TO FILL AN EMPTY TANK THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AFTER ONLY A COUPLE OF GALLONS. IF I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS FULL. I'VE SEEN COMPLAINTS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE STOPS WORKING ON THIS CAR AT SIMILAR MILEAGE, IF THAT HAPPENS TOO I WON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY CAR. I COULD THEN RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT HAZARD. *TR
