| Description of the problem | Was driving my 2014 jeep cherokee down the road. It shuttered and stopped suddenly. We barely coasted to side of road. We found out we was out of gas. The fuel gauge quit working. We was almost rear ended. We had less than 50,000 miles on my jeep. It was scary and jeep would do nothing about it unless i paid the 300. 00 to get hooked up to computer at dealership. I had to pay it up front. I do not have the money for that. I thank god that we was not rear ended at the time it happened. We was driving down state route 49 in arcanum at the time it happened. Just driving from arcanum to greenville ohio. Called aaa for a tow. But a person stopped by with gas in a gas can and asked if we wanted to try it. We put gas in jeep. It started up. Felt with less than 50,000 they should have checked it out for free. What if we was rear ended? State route 49 in that area is very busy two lane state route. So we think gauge is wrong or broken. So might list unknown since never put on computer to know for sure. |
