On long trips (over 160 miles) with consistently high speeds, the engine torque and tachometer gauge level rises/whines, indicating a shift should be made in the automatic transmission, but the automatic transmission lags behind, causing the hover/forward stall due to engine torque, much like when you increase the torque causing the engine to "roar" before shifting in a manual transmission. This usually happens while accelerating on higher speed roads and highways at higher speeds, usually 40-70 mph range and mostly when on a long trip w/o stopping, except for gas. Car is always in motion and there is no change in engine temp and no warning lights lit. This problem has occurred many times in the past 18 months. The date indicated was the most recent date.
Car stopped completely while driving on a city street. Low fuel light did not come on. Fuel gauge was showing close to empty but not all the way. Check engine light was not on. When started at garage the low fuel light came on, but would not stay running after multiple tries. I think, and the mechanic agreed, that the fuel gauge sensor is defective. I feel unsafe now when driving for extended lengths of time, and am very concerned that this might happen when on a highway at higher speeds. If the vehicle stops in traffic this could cause a serious accident or fatality.
