My dte said 180 miles, with almost a half tank of gas, car stopped on me on freeway, no warning light of low fuel. Car stopped and an accident occurred because of this problem. The dte or gas gauge does not read accurately. Please I need help
Vehicle tries to start but won't. Vehicle is stationary while trying to start. Battery is fine, there's enough gas, it tries to start but won't turn over.
