Description of the problem | Fuel indicator on the dash showed 3 bars for remaining fuel. Vehicle ran out of fuel despite showing 3 bars. Oftentimes after tank is filled it only illuminates to 1 or 2 under the top bar instead of showing a full tank. There is obviously a problem that the car is not accurately reporting the fuel level. |
