Description of the problem	While driving home from a vacation in florida on 9-15-18 (saturday), i was driving i75n in the third of four lanes going 75-80 mph. Suddenly my car slowed down abruptly, i held the gas pedal to the floor but the car continued to lose speed. I quickly turned on my emergency flashers and turn signal to get over two lanes into the berm. Thankfully i was not hit by the 80 mph traffic speeding by. Once in the berm, the car just died. It would not turn on again. My lights all illuminated, the gas light, the battery light, the seatbelt light and the oil light, a clicking noise was also heard. It was 95 degrees that day in florida and i was traveling with my sister and my three dogs. My dogs are flat faced dogs who cannot tolerate heat. They quickly declined and were in the process of heat stroke as we were waiting for help to arrive for us. We did everything possible to keep them cool without the air conditioning working, but it was failing. We did managed to get help from a semi truck driver who allowed us to sit in his air conditioned cab, finally the dogs were safe. We waited for the state hwy patrol and the tow truck. The tow truck towed my car to a repair shop about 25 minutes away. The repair shop was not open until the following day so we were forced to get a hotel room for the night. Sunday at noon, they opened. Two and 1/2 hours later, they called me to tell me i had simply run out of gas. My car's gauges told me that i had 45 miles to empty and 1/4 tank of gas in the vehicle, so obviously this was not correct. We were terrified and were put into a very dangerous situation. We all could have died when the car stopped in traffic and my pets from the heat. A recall needs to be made on this problem as i have read many accounts of others who have lived through it as well.
