gas gage

This darn gage plays around with me I swear. One minute at the 1/4 mark then poof close to the 1/2 way mark. I got **** scared when it first hit the half way mark and I only got 90 miles.. I was hellah pissed. I managed to milk out 200miles for that tank (10.4 gals) So what can be wrong with the gage and low milage? Or is this common for Nyc driving? would cleaning out the fuel lines make a big impact? or my o2 sensors possibly shot?

I have the same problem. I think there was a recall for bad fuel level guages on the 7th gen.

There is a recall for it. Thell probably have to replace the cluster.

Happeed to us and they had to stick a lil sticker on the door frame since the mileage gets reset with the new cluster

basically yes... they might get picky about your warenty and stuff.

The sticker is a legal requirement. You might also have to point out that it is a TSB since some dealers like to bounce around those points.

Was free of charge for me. Then again, I have a good dealer... But it should be free if its a TSB and under warenty still.
