| Description of the problem | Fuel gauge is constantly inaccurate. The car has a 26 gallon tank, after filling up and driving sometimes 50 miles the gas light will come on telling me i am out of gas. I have sit on level surfaces watching the gauge go from full down to completely empty several times. This problem could potentially leave a person stranded as they do not know how much gas is in the vehicle. |
