I just filled the fuel tank until completely full, and when i started the vehicle, the gas gauge showed empty and the low fuel light came on. Shut off and restarted several times and it still shows empty and the low fuel light is on. I drove the vehicle several miles and now the service engine…
Fuel gauge no longer registers the correct amount of gas in the tank, even if we have just fueled the vehicle. *kb
Fuel level sensor quit working. *tr
Fuel gage switches between full to empty all the time. When the car is at stop and running, to driving down the road. You never really know how much gas you really have. I have taken to writing down the mileage every time i fill up. *tr
My fuel gauge is not working i understand there is a recall on it how do i find out? *tr
