The fuel gauge failed to drop all the way to e. No warning light that fuel is low. While on a city street, on the on ramp to an interstate my car's engine just stopped, no sputter, no lagging just 3k RPM to 0 RPM. I was able to shift my automatic transmission to neutral and coast to the shoulder on the on ramp. Unable to restart engine. Cranked but nonstart. Added fuel and car started right up. At the time of the stall the fuel gauge read approximately 33/8 of a tank of gas. Prior to this occuring, when tank would get low the warning light came on around 1/8th of a tank.. About halfway been the 1/4 mark and e. Since this occured I have tested the fuel pump, sending unit and fuel level float, and they all test ok.. When the tank was filled after this the fuel gauge moved back up to the full mark (slightly above,) so the needle is not stuck.

What is the deal with this engine? This car has less that 120k miles. It seems I get a lot of interference when I'm driving it. The car will randomly force speed causing me to swerve on the highway. When my phone is plugged in it seems to misfire and check engine lights come on. H2o sensors come on, cache files about the fuel system lands on my phone. Samsung has submitted tests on my spen that are affecting my safety. Fcc id a3lejpn970 fcc id a3lsmn970u. I have had several car accidents since buying samsung phones. The cars will increase speed as if I am ready to run into a brick wall. This car doesn't have a lot of mileage but something is going on with the timing and engine. I can be in motion or stationary, it is constantly affecting the fuel system.

At first we thought it was the belt because the belt from coming off you change the serpentine belt and then it would run for a little bit then it started to stop and not be able to get enough fuel to the gas pedal and I'd have to rev it up. We opened it up where the spark plugs were on the valve covers and it was halfway full of oil we got all the oil out when we ordered a new valve cover and spark plugs the car run fine for one day now it will not start again. The fan turns on like it is running but there is no power to the car at all. I read that after the oil gets into the valve covers there's really no fixing it after that. And every time that we fix it only last for one day and so it's very dangerous for me and my daughter to be driving around in that unreliable car what can I do about the recall.

Recently ive been getting the red airbag signal that keeps flashing and wont go off. Ive checked the fuses. Wiring. Ran diahnostics on it for that and the following issues as well. The car makes a high pitch sound when its just ideling that seems to come feom underneath the car maybe towards back middle ive gotten a new fuel pump checked wiring fuses and bought other new parts and have been unable to figure out what it is. Also the gas gauge wont read after the half way point. Ive tried to reset it calibrate it and nothing. During cold days the gas gauge reads correctly until the car warms up. Mo ths have gone by and nothing so far
