Other Fuel System Storage problem #1

Fuel warning light has never worked according to manufacturer's specifications, which is with 2. 5 gallons remaining in the tank. Typically, mine only comes on with less than 1 gallon remaining, and even then usually only after I've stopped the car and then restarted. The dealer replaced the fuel pump, but the problem remained. I contacted Subaru national customer support and after consulting with their tech support personnel (atlanta?), I got a lot of double talk about not being able to control factors involved in my testing (I. E. , repeated documentation). In other words, they refused to inspect or otherwise deal with the problem. I have many receipts showing fill-ups well beyond the specification warning level where where fuel light never came on. This is a safety issue because running out of gas on a highway with traffic at high speeds due to no warning light is a serious hazard. It is not something I look to create, but it does arise in highway or other conditions from time to time. Mr.

Other Fuel System problem #2

Hesitation, surging, and bucking at mid-range engine rpms. This has been a recurrent problem despite replacement of the throttle position sensor x3.
