FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. NEEDLE WOULD GO ALL THE WAY PAST FULL WHEN IT'S FILLED. BUT WHEN DRIVING, CANNOT TELL IF TANK IS BEING EMPTY DUE TO NEEDLE NOT MOVING DOWNWARD. WAS NO INDICATION OF WHETHER FUEL WAS IN TANK OR NOT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP & WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT A NEW PART, FUEL SENDER MODULE, WAS NEEDED & WOULD REPLACE IT WHEN IT CAME IN.*AK
