| Description of the problem | 1) gas tank never takes more than 15 gallons of gas when the gas tank was supposed to hold 18 gallons. One day the fuel computer showed the range as 15 miles and the gas tank still took only 15 gallons from the pump even when the car gets a mileage of more than 30 mpg. Also, the pump abruptly stops in between and i have to restart pumping the fuel. This is either a fuel guage problem showing the gas tank is nearly empty when its really not or a gas tank problem. Online research indicates that multiple people have this problem. 2) the adaptive cruise control is really jerky and slams the breaks suddenly and accelerates abruptly resulting in a very jerky ride. |
