| Description of the problem | All of a sudden the gas gauge does stopped reading fual properly.. I never know how much gas i have. On one occasion i was driving to work early in the morning the vehicle studdard i put on my hazard lights and had to maneuver quickly to avoid being hit in the rear. I found out i had run out of gas. Attached is a link with other owners with the same issue. It doesn't matter how much gas i put in it i do not get correct reading. If i put $30 worth of gas in my vehicle it will only read half full. I feel this is a danger because i never know when i run out of gas and being on the highway all of a sudden running out of gas is a safety issue. Http://www. Carproblemzoo.
