Consumer Description

AS HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIME ON HERE AND IN THE FLEX FORUMS, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STALL AT A 1/4 TANK OF GAS FOR NO REASON. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH WAY SPEED WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO E AND THE MILES TO EMPTY READ 0. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. I CALLED ONE OF MY LOCAL DEALERS WHO INSISTED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING WAS DONE. THERE ADVICE WAS TO NOT LET THE CAR GET TO A 1/4 OF A TANK. THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
