1 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2010

The fuel level is not accurate. It first started doing this telling me I had a 1/4 tank left, when I ran out of gas in the middle of an interstate. I then put gas in it and sure enough that's what it was. Ever since then the car never gives accurate readings, I can fill all the way up and it will only show that it is 3/4 full or such but never is precise. This can be a very big issue for someone that does not have a gas station nearby like it happened to me.

2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2009

This morning the car was warming up in front of our house ; it exploded and burned down; the front is completely melted; we were lucky not to have entered the car yet - fire department was called and managed to extinguish the fire before it reached the tank - other wise we would all be dead and our house gone.
