| Description of the problem | My fuel gauge is very erratic ;we never know how much fuel we have. It fluctuates from full to empty at will causing us to try to judge by the miles driven or fill up every few days. I would hate to run out of gas on an interstate in middle of the night because of a miscalculation on the mileage. I feel this is a safety hazard and the company seems aware of it. |
