The gas gauge is faulty. I have heard of many complaints and that when there are hard shifts (turns) or press harder on the acceleration causes the gas gauge to work incorrectly and the gas light comes on. This is happening to my car currently. Furthermore, after the light comes on the check engine light comes on.

I bought this car used with 50128 miles in April 3, 2004. On, July 12, 2004 around 55000 miles. I stopped and let the car running for 3 mins. I came back and the fuel sensor low light was flashing and the car said I was empty, but I knew I wasn't because I just filled the tank up that day. I started going and the fuel sensor said I had all my gas back. After that, everyday, the sensor will say low fuel after the sensor has passed 3/4 of a tank. On, July 15, when the fuel light comes on for sometime the check engine light will come on and stay on until I fill the gas tank up and drive for several miles. I am going to take it to my mechanic and maybe the dealership where I bought the car to solve this problem.

Intermittently the vehicle would not start properly and the consumer had to crank the vehicle several time before starting. The check engine light and the fuel light would illuminate after the vehicle was started and stay on momentary before it went out. Dealer was not notified at this time.

Lost control of vehicle which resulted in a front end collision. My speed was about 45 mph at time of impact. Vehicle ignited instantly. The flames were coming from under the hood, closest to the windshield on the passenger side. Was prompted by a relative to file a complaint. I was told that the vehicle should not have burned and should have had a cut-off for fuel line. The vehicle was totally consumed and exploded within what seemed like 5-15 min. (wasn't really looking at my watch, to busy running away from car!) had no major problems with car up until then other than the check engine light coming on periodically, which dealer had no explanation for.
