After stopping at mailbox the low fuel illuminated, the fuel gauge indicated empty. The tank was half full prior to the 12 mile trip home from town. Not sure when the problem occurred, because it might have taken a few minutes to pump out 8 or 9 gallons of gas, however it was on this12 mile trip home. 6 miles of highway at 55 mph and 5 miles of paved county road at 30 mph and 1 mile of gravel road at 20 mph. After the low fuel indication the engine was stopped, fuel was added from a container, and when the engine was started the fuel streamed out on the ground. The vehicle was towed to a local repair facility, because it was closer than the dealer. Gas line and clamp were replaced. The mechanic indicated the plastic gas line and plastic clamp were hanging low, and no protective cove over it.

I started out driving on highway road at approximately 5:45pm traffic was moderate, my speed was about 30-35 mph. All of a sudden I heard a clunk and then alarm ding from the dash as well as message "service stabiltrak" then "reduced engine power". I was unable to go any faster than 25mph. I drove in this mode for about 2 miles in traffic, when reaching open highway (no traffic) the vehicle would not shift by itself. I had to accelerate then let off the gas, tap pedal then the vehicle would shift. I was able to do this multiple times until reaching about 45mph. I pulled off into a neighborhood, shut vehicle off to see if this would reset something, it did not. The vehicle was in this state when I arrived at the dealership service department at approximately 6:05pm. Dealership logged following on service request: 5043 found code P228C ran diag could not duplicate problem fuel psi at spec raises to spec test drove on highway did not duplicate condition found no bull on condition test drive numerous time, could not duplicate concern.
