| Description of the problem | My gas gauge showed a half tank one day then it showed empty then it showed empty/ the next day it would not start i new there was gas in it an hour later it started but after i was out it went back to empty. This problem needs to be fixed several people i meet in parking lots have the same problem. Are you waiting for someone to get in the rear when it shuts off and people get killed big law suits will happen iam sure it would cheaper to fix this then get sued. I see there are a lot complaints |
