Pontiac G8 Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Feb 23, 2009
Reported on Feb 23, 2009
| 2/23/2009: LEAVING STOP LIGHT, CAR QUITE RUNNING AND I PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. FOUND OUT CAR WAS OUT OF GAS, BUT GAUGE SHOWED A LITTLE OVER A 1/4 TANK. DEALERSHIP SAID GAUGE CLUSTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND CHANGED THE CLUSTER. 7/12/2009: AT 25 MPH CAR QUITE RUNNING AND I PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND I KNEW I WAS OUT OF GAS AGAIN. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED JUST UNDER 1/4 TANK. I GOT SOME GAS AND WENT TO THE GAS STATION. THE GAS TANK HOLDS 19 GALLONS, BUT I ONLY ABLE TO PUMP IN LESS THAN 16 GALLONS. I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FUEL PICKUP, NOT THE GAUGE. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN DURING HIGHER SPEEDS AND TRAFFIC. *TR | |
