problem #1

Apr 252003

Alero 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 44,000 miles
Fuel gauge does not work properly-have run out of gas twice when that meter says I have a quarter of a tank. No alarm. Contacted the dealer and they informed me that since my warranty is up, I would have to pay for it. Spoke with Oldsmobile and they say that only Canadian cars are covered under the recall.
