1 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2018

The fuel gauge will read between 1/2 and 1/4 tank then immediately make a *ding* and the display reads 0 miles. The fuel gauge will drop to empty. If you drive anything further than a short distance (10 miles or so) the car will die. It is "out" of fuel. Refilling the tank you will find that the vehicle still has whatever fuel the gauge was showing before it dropped to zero. It is consistent, it does this every tank. Appears to be getting worse as time goes on.

Failure Date: 08/23/2017
