WHILE DRIVING ON THE THROUGHWAY, AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. AS I WAS DRIFTING TO A STOP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT STARTED UP. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE AGAIN SHUT OFF, BUT STARED UP AGAIN AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP. OFTEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. WITH IN THE LAST FEW HUNDRED MILES ON A COUNTRY ROAD, I WAS TURNING SLIGHTLY LEFT, AND GENTLY PUSHED THE BRAKES. THE WHOLE VEHICLE VIBRATED, AND I COULD FEEL IT ESPECIALLY IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WENT A LITTLE FARTHER AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. EACH TIME THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I SHUT THE CAR, OFF AND RE-STARTED IT AGAIN. IT WAS FINE. I'VE GONE TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. I WAS TOLD IF IT WAS NOT DOING THE SITUATION, AT THAT TIME, THEY COULD ONLY PUT IN ON THE COMPUTER. I ASK FOR THE $100.00, WHAT THAT WOULD SHOW. I WAS TOLD NOTHING. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL! 98% OF THE TIME THE FUEL GAUGE SAYS I AM ON EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE JUST FILLED UP. WHILE I AM DRIVING IT WILL SPORADICALLY JUMP AROUND AND STICK AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS BEFORE BECAUSE OF THIS AND NOW I AM AT THE GAS STATION PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER DAY TO MAKE SURE I DO NOT RUN OUT. *TR
