May 27, 1999: Car was taken in due to low fuel light remaining on at all times. Sending unit was ordered. July 8, 1999: Sending unit was replaced with new unit. Low fuel light continued to remain on at all times. Service department ordered another part (unsure of what this part was). July 22, 1999: Returned car to service dept due to low fuel light remaining on at all times. Description of service on this date: Board-prin, gauge assy. After this service, light no longer remains on at all times, but during the next few months, we notice the low fuel light does not come on at all, even when gas gauge falls below empty. Sept 16, 1999: (new complaint) reported that both front door speakers crackle and pop when radio is on and front doors are open. Service dept checks wiring, but problem continues upon picking up the car. We also report that power door locks will lock on their own. This problem is not fixed. Service dept says they cannot duplicate problem. December 7, 1999: We report once again that speaker wires pop and crackle mainly on passenger side door while radio is on. Service dept reports they test drove car, but could not duplicate problem. We also once again report that power door locks will lock on their own while driving. Service dept test drove car, but could not duplicate problem. July 3, 2000: Report continued problem with front door speakers, power door locks, and low fuel light. Parts ordered. Sept 12, 2000: Sending unit replaced again, however light still does not come on when gas gauge falls below empty. Service dept repaired short to ground wires to fix popping in front door speakers. Upon return home, problem continues. Problem with power door locks also continues.
