Consumer Description

THIS IS A COMPLAINT RELATING TO PROBABLE DESIGN DEFICIENCY AS OPPOSED TO A COMPONENT FAILURE. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE IS IN THE RED ZONE, THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPING, TURNING OR ATTEMPTING TO GO UPHILL. THIS CAUSES SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKING POWER. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP OR TANK, OTHER THAN THE FUEL IS PERMITTED BY THE POOR DESIGN OF THE TANK TO FLOW AWAY FROM THE INTAKE TUBE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING OR TURNING OR ORIENTED SUCH THAT THE FUEL IS CONCENTRATED IN THE FORWARD PART OF THE TANK. THE ENGINE WILL RESTART WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO REST AND IS ON A LEVEL OR DOWNHILL GRADE. OF COURSE, KEEPING THE TANK LESS EMPTY OBVIATES THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE GAUGE STILL REGISTERS THE PRESENCE OF FUEL. *AK
