Description of the problem | While driving on the highway with cruise control on, 2016 forester engine revved while also losing power and the lights on the dash lit up. I pulled over to the side of the highway with the car still running, i shut the car off. After a few minutes, the engine started fine but the car still had no power. Was towed to the shop and they stated the car ran out of gas. The car stated there were 30 miles left to drive and the gas light came on 18 miles prior (at 50 miles estimated left to drive) . The second time this happened, i ran out of gas with 50 miles left to drive and only 5 miles after the gas light came on. I haven't let the car get below 1/4 tank due to this issue. Something is not reading right with the fuel system. The manual says there should be roughly 2 gallons left in the car when the gas light comes on so i should be able to at least go 40 miles at the bare minimum. |
