What owners wrote

The gas gauge module was faulty, causing me to run out of gas at high speed and lose power to steering and brakes. Out of gas even though it read that I had a quarter of a tank. Luckily no accident or damage done. However it cost 650.00 to replace this module.

My wife and I bought the vehicle new. It was always kept in a garage and driven very little. As of today it only has 30,000 miles on it. To begin with, on or near march 2007 after exiting the vehicle I noticed a strong smell of gasoline. I looked under the car and I saw a fairly heavy dripping of gas from the top of the gas tank. I drove it to a mechanic that I have been using for many years.
