Wrong fuel gauge reading by model year
What owners say
The gas gauge will frequently jump down to empty and low fuel light come on. Constantly jumping back and forth, even when in park.
Really bad exhaust smell. Not eggs. Not your standard stink. Bad smell since 6 months after purchase in 2001. Keeps the following traffic way behind me. Had oxygen sensor checked many times. But I think its the cat. Converter. *jb everytime I take it in for service, I request a fix. Still not fixed. Service center can't dup problem, why? I smell it !! Also flux gas gauge movement in park. Also no horn. Had fixed once in summer 2005, and 5 months later it doesn't work again. The fuse is fine. Could have used it the other day. :-(
Regardless of how much fuel (I.e. Full) the gas gauge will frequently jump down to empty and low fuel light come on. This happens in drive and neutral on a daily basis. Constantly jumping back and forth. Sometimes will stay on empty when full
Fuel gauge fluctuates between emty and full while in park or neutral,can't depend on fuel gage for ture information.
