| Description of the problem | Fuel gauge intermittently fluctuates from empty to 1/4 tank. Digital display also not registering. After a few months of this, now the check engine light has come on and after diagnostic test it showed fuel sensors not working. Gas gauge not working at all at this point, becoming quite a concern because we never know exactly how much gas is left and finding that we are filling it up every other day just to be safe! |
