| Description of the problem | I bought this vehicle new. It has only 32000 miles. The fuel sensors do not work giving me inaccurate readings on the fuel gauge. In addition, in an incident that may or may not be related, while driving my six year old granddaughter, i experienced an extreme slowdown. This happened a total of three times on different days. This is an extremely dangerous event, especially if you are on an highway with high speed traffic. The ironic thing is that a friend bought the same kind of vehicle at the same time and she has had the same two problems. |
