Consumer Description

FUEL SENSOR PROBLEMS, FUEL LIGHT ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BOTH GO OUT WHEN TANK IS ABOUT (I WOULD ESTIMATE) 7/8 TO ABOUT 1/2 A TANK BUT ARE ON AT FULL AND I'M GUESSING 7/16 AND BELOW. I CAN PRETTY MUCH ESTIMATE MY MILEAGE BUT WITH 2 CHILDREN ABOUT TO GET THEIR LICENSE I FEEL THIS WOULD BE HAZARDOUS IF NOT DANGEROUS SHOULD THEY RUN OUT OF GAS ON A PARKWAY OR EXPRESSWAY. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS IT SHOULD BE RATED AS A RECALL AND FIXED. SEEMS TO ME THAT IT OCCURS ONCE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRES AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY.
