| Description of the problem | I filled up the tank and the gas gauge level read empty. Continued and has been on empty. Sometimes it will rise gradually to correct level. And when you turn off engine then it goes back to empty. I find this to be dangerous because i don't know if the car will stop. I have read many others that have had the same problem. A recall is in order to correct this problem for the safety of all. |
