| Description of the problem | At 58,000 miles the gas gauge and the mileage indicator would fluctuate or wouldn't work at all. Now at 60,000 miles the service engine light is on. One morning i started the car and the gas gauge read empty. Went and put gas in the car and $10 later it was full. I do believe that the two are connected and based on my reading on this site the dealership is aware of the problem but would like the owners to fork out $400 - $600 which in this economy i can't afford. This is definitely a safety concern. |
