| 2007 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | WHILE DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE INDICATED 1/4 TANK. THE NEXT MINUTE THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. RUSHED TO THE CLOSEST GAS STATION AND FILLED UP. THE PUMP INDICATED 15 GALLONS ON THE FILL UP BUT THE TANK HOLDS OVER 20. STARTED DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED FULL, THEN DROPPED TO EMPTY (LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON) AND THEN THE TANK WENT BACK UP TO FULL. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING, THE GAUGE APPEARS TO BE STUCK ON 3/4 FULL. *TR |
| 2006 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | FIRST OF ALL MY FUEL LEVER SENSOR WENT OUT. I ONLY FIGURED IT OUT WHEN I WAS IN A BUSY SHOPPING INTERSECTION AND MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN. LUCKY FOR ME NO CAR REAR ENDED ME BUT ONE DID COME CLOSE. AT THE TIME AS FAR I KNEW MY CAR HAD OVER HALF A TANK OF GAS IN IT. COME TO FIND OUT LATE IT DIDN'T. TO MY EMBARRASSMENT I SLOWED AND STOPPED TRAFFIC FOR CLOSE TO AN HOUR WHILE I CALLED FOR HELP AND HAD TO BE TOWED. MY MECHANIC EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM (THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR) AND GAVE ME TWO OPTIONS GET THE PART REPLACE OR KEEP TRACK OF THE MILEAGE AND GAS I PUT IN DAILY, BECAUSE OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE PART PLUS LABOR I DECIDED TO KEEP TRACK OF THE MILEAGE INSTEAD OF HAVING IT REPLACED. NOW I'M HAVING A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE I AM ONLY ABLE TO PUMP $10 OF GAS AT A TIME BECAUSE NOW MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT ALSO. WHEN I PUMP GAS MY CAR THINKS THAT IT HAS GAS WHEN IT DOESN'T. NOW I HAVE NO OPTION BUT THE GET MY CAR REPAIRED FOR BOTH ISSUES OF WHICH I AM DOING THIS WEEK. THIS IS SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH THIS NEW OF A CAR. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR |
