| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Fuel sensor problems, fuel light on, check engine light on, both go out when tank is about (i would estimate) 7/8 to about 1/2 a tank but are on at full and i'm guessing 7/16 and below. I can pretty much estimate my mileage but with 2 children about to get their license i feel this would be hazardous if not dangerous should they run out of gas on a parkway or expressway. With all the complaints it should be rated as a recall and fixed. Seems to me that it occurs once the bumper to bumper warranty expires and is not covered under the drive train warranty. |
