Pontiac Montana Fuel System, Other Storage Fuel Gauge System Safety Report | May 03, 2007
Reported on May 03, 2007
| 2002 PONTIAC MONTANA GAS GAUGE WILL SHOOT UP TO FULL AND THEN DROP TO EMPTY AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I NEVER HAVE AN ACCURATE READING OF HOW MUCH FUEL I ACTUALLY HAVE. YESTERDAY WHILE AT MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL I RAN OUT OF GAS AND HAD TO CALL AAA FOR FUEL TO GET ME TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. I MUST NOW SET MY TRIP COUNTER AT 0 WHEN I FUEL UP. THIS COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM IF I RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR SOMETHING (I HAVE CHILDREN) MAYBE EVEN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY PONTIAC AND A RECALL BE SET IN PLACE. I FOUND OUT IT COULD COST ANYWHERE FROM 500 TO 750 DOLLARS TO FIX. RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY. *TR | |
