Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the vehicle hesitates or fails to accelerate proportionally when pressing the gas pedal, sometimes slowing instead of speeding up when turning from a stop.
  • Several owners describe a delay where the engine revs high (RPMs climbing) while the car barely gains speed, occasionally dropping to a very low top speed before normal operation resumes.
  • Some owners report the fuel gauge reads inaccurately, showing a quarter tank or more range remaining shortly before the vehicle runs out of gas.
  • One owner reported the fuel tank opening allowed a diesel nozzle to fit, resulting in misfueling shortly after purchase.
  • One owner reported real-world fuel economy well below the advertised city and highway MPG figures.
