| Description of the problem | The gas gauge randomly shows incorrect fuel level remaining. This makes it difficult to know how much gas and distance/miles remain before a refill is needed. After a full refill the gauge seems to accurately show a full tank. Randomly, when starting the car, the gauge sometimes shows incorrect fuel levels at empty or much less than actual. This sometimes corrected via restarting car. Sometimes restarting does not correct the gauge. |
