Description of the problem | After filing tank i took a drive... Drove abt 30 miles to do some shopping then abt 2 hours later i drove the 30 miles back home with the fuel guage not moving.... After several hours at home getting ready to go out for the evening i got into car.. Pressed the button and started car... Notice that the fuel guage was at 3/4.... When i parked it was above full... This happened several times during the month of june 2018 (purchased car new on may 26 2018) contacted dealership on july 3, 2018... They received it on july 7, 2018.... After being at the dealer for 11 weeks the car was returned to me with a new cluster (dealer was aware the a recall was in the works for a premature empty tank when low fuel light cane on).. Received car back on september 21, 2018 and on september 22, 2018 i once again experienced the same issue.... Drove home from dealership 21st went to work morning 22nd came home and got ready to go out... Got into car with again a full tank when parked and now upon ignition it was a bit over 7/8 lower... The dte is and has been all over the place.... Dealership had never driven car so that was recently done.... New sensors put in.... Took off from dealership 4-3-2019 with full tank... Drove abt 49 miles and decided to top off tank to test miles/fuel consumption... Now the guage remain in the same position as prior to adding fuel... Also in the same 49 miles the dte dropped from 610 to 460.... When i received vehicle back in september is when i started image documenting.... Without an accurate fuel guage it is impossible to feel safe on the road.... Subaru and dealership are aware of this issue with no solution... |
