What owners wrote
I was travelling at 80 MPH in the far left lane when the vehicle lost power- the gas indicator indicated that I had 5 gallons of gas left and could go 110 + miles. Yet when I finally got the car to the side of the road and tried to start it again, it indicated empty. This is the fourth time this has happened. Dealer says he can't find anything wrong.
Fuel pressure regulator became defective after taking the vehicle to dealer for fuel rail recall 04v110000 repairs.
