| 2006 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | APPROX A FEW MONTHS BACK I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK, AS I STARTED DOWN THE ROAD MY GAS GAUGE WENT FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND MY FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND SO DID MY ENGINE CHECK LIGHT. IT DID IT SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BY THE NEXT DAY IT WAS FINE AND HAS BEEN FINE UP UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. THE GAS GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND THE ENGINE LINE COMES ON. IN 2007 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH IT STARTING UP AND WHEN I WOULD SHUT IT DOWN IT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY STAY CRUNKED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BASICALLY THEY GAVE ME A DOCUMENT ID#2001730 REPORT THAT IT WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. I STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CAR STARTING. I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH ON MY CAR AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES. I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SHORTED OUT AND I NEED TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON FUEL PUMPS BUT APPARENTLY NOT FOR MY VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR. *TR |
