Description of the problem | Fuel gauge does not register full when car is filled up. Dealer did not repair the first time and problem returned same day after filling up again. Have to go back again to dealer. I am concerned that if gauge does not register properly car may run out of gas in a place that could be dangerous (i. E.; freeway , busy road, etc.). Car dealers and companies response to this problem seems evasive . I am very concerned that this could become a very serious and dangerous problem . Vehicle is stationary or in motion and no change in fuel gauge. Does not matter if you turn vehicle or go up or down hill either . Happened multiple times now. Not repaired as of yet. |
