| Have had problems with the fuel sensor, thought it was fuel level sensor but apparently from all others reports these are several problems with the fuel system. this causes the check engine light to come on and will not allow the remote start to work. also have problems with sensor in passenger seat. just works randomly. very concerned this will interfere with air bag deployment. all of these things were fixed while still under warranty but started doing it again after it expired and too costly to fix on my own. | |||
