| 2006 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | WHEN I DID A ROUTINE FILL UP ON MY VEHICLE AND UPON RESTARTING THE CAR AFTER COMPLETION, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STILL SHOWED LOW FUEL. AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME, I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED CORRECTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. HOWEVER, UPON THE NEXT FILL UP, IT DID THE SAME THING. NOW, IT IS AT THE POINT THAT IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE GAS IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. ONE MINUTE IT SHOWS EMPTY, THE NEXT IT SHOWS CORRECTLY, AND THEN IT SLOWLY GOES BACK TO EMPTY. I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP GAUGE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY. LATELY, OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, THE CAR IS STARTING TO HESITATE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL ON ME UPON TAKE OFF. I AM GETTING WORRIED THAT THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL ON ME AS I AM DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. |
