| Description of the problem | Fuel gauge problem: when filling the car, the fuel gauge in the car will show empty, empty light is on despite filling the car with plenty of gas. Additionally, in 2009 my car stopped suddenly while we were on a bridge in 4 lanes of traffic. The fuel tank had to be pulled and replaced. Now, when i'm driving(knowing that i have enough fuel to continue) the fuel gauge is not registering properly and will 'wag' between full and empty. Dangerous! |
