Consumer Description

BEFORE I REALIZED THAT THE GUAGE WASN'T WORKING, I RAN OUT OF GASOLINE TWICE. THE SECOND TIME WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DURING THE RUSH HOUR COMMUTE. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS AS I WAS STUCK AT A DEAD STOP IN THE FAST LANE WITH NO WHERE TO GO. I WAS HIT DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT. I DID NOT WEAR OUT THE GAS TANK. ALTHOUGH THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD HEARD LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS, CHRYSLER WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR IN FULL.
