THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT ACCURATE AND EVER SINCE RUNNING OUT OF GAS THE FIRST TIME IT'S BEEN ACTING STRANGER AND STRANGER. THE NOISE NO LONGER CHIMES WHEN RUNNING LOW IT ALSO DOESN'T HAVE EXTRA FUEL RESERVE SO ONCE YOU RUN OUT YOU RUN OUT. MY CARS FUEL PUMP JUST WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND THIS WAS AT NIGHT. THE CAR NO LONGER STARTS YET ALONE MOVE. I GOT STUCK ON THE FREEWAY TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES IT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE FLYING BY ME SO I COULD NOT EVEN GET OUT TO MOVE.
