What owners wrote
While driving a rental vehicle fuel tank, made of plastic, was punctured, causing fuel to leak out. Vehicle was towed to dealership. Garage was filled with gas fumes. Fuel tank was punctured by road debris and replaced.
Gas gauge on the instrument panel does not work, it registars higher than the amount of gas in the car. I spent over $450 dollars at the garage trying to troubleshoot why the car stopped running while driving and wouldn't restart. The garage could not find the problem. I discovered myself after the 3rd time, that putting gas in it fixes it, and realized the gas gauge was not registering empty, when the cat was empty, and I was simply running out of gas.
