Consumer Description

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED REPORTING ACTUAL LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. GUAGE REMAINS POINTED AT 1/4 FULL TANK LEVEL AT ALL TIMES. FORCED TO KEEP TRACK OF FUEL LEVEL BY RESETTING THE MILAGE TRACKER AT EACH TANK FILL-UP. WHEN MILES REACH AROUND 250 ITS TIME TO FIND A GAS STATION TO FILL UP AGAIN. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS 5-10 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. SEVERAL OF THE SUDDEN "OUT-OF-GAS" EVENTS WERE ALSO FALSE. VEHICLE HAD GAS, BUT ENGINE STALLED AS THOUGH IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. CAR WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE AND COASTED TO NEARBY GAS STATION.
