Consumer Description

THE FUEL SENSOR IS NOT RELAYING ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS NEAR EMPTY TANK THE TANK FUEL GAUGE WILL OFTEN STILL READ 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHICH CODES ALERTED ON DIAGNOSTICS RELAY BACK TO THE SENSOR ISSUE. THE PROBLEMS IS NOW WORSENING WHERE EVEN AT FULL TANK THE GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES INDICATE EMPTY WITH FUEL ALERT LIGHT ON AND TANK JUST TOPPED OFF. THE IMPROPER FUEL INDICATION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL SEVERAL MILES FROM A GAS STATION WHILE STILL SHOWING 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS BEING STRANDED IN NC IN PEAK OF SUMMER TEMPS OUTSIDE CAN REACH OVER 100 DEGREES. FURTHERMORE STALLING OUT FOR LACK OF FUEL IN BUSY CITY TRAFFIC OR SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAY AT 60-70 MHP CAN LEAD TO A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.
