| Description of the problem | Check engine light came on. I then noticed when the low fuel light came on and i filed the tank it only took 12 gallons instead of the usual 15-16. I called the dealer and they immediately stated it was the fuel level sensor. Causing both issues. It must be a common issue. $500 quoted repair. Now when the light comes on and you fill it takes between 10 and 12 gallons. Not sure if that means there was 4-6 in the tank or something else is restricting the volume of fuel you can add. Check engine light comes on and goes off intermittently. Also the low fuel night may come on and the gauge shows nearly empty and then it might go off and show 1/4. Is it empty or is it a quarter. Mileage on the car about 63000. |
