- Lexington, MA, USA
Gas guage red half full when tank empty. Car lost power when it ran out of gas on a remote section of highway causing an unsafe condition. Manufacturer aparantly was aware of defects in the electrical unit in the gas tank caused by fuel additives in the us. Notice should have been given to owners, even if no recall was planned as the units seem to fail intermitently. Company appears to be trying to ignore a problem they could fix with one mailing to its customers...
