Noticed gas gauge was dropping to empty when I had a full tank of gas. Kept an eye on it and the problem became worse. Now my gas gauge does not read at all. I can be on empty and it reads that I have more than a half tank left. Severly times I have almost run out of gas due to this problem.

Previous complaint of no start condition-dealer suggests new fuel pump at an estimated cost of 1000.00. I have determined that fix relates to a faulty gas cap. It puts the fuel system in a deep vacuum on a hot or warm restart, this part cost 6.60 at the local parts store. I can't believe that the dealer overlooked this and charged me 72.00 for a fuel pressure test and then tried to sell me a 1000.00 job by shotgunning in a part!
