| Description of the problem | The gas tank gauge stopped functioning properly. It will read empty when full & started to go up despite being low. Have to use trip mileage to determine when to fill up not best method. But gauge is not accurate or reliable. I thought it was just me but i see this is a relatively common problem & has a service bulletin. |
