| The fuel guage gives false reading, the needle will position way pass the full. after putting in fuel, it will move to the full mark or show just any amount without the tank being full. it is avery hard act to follow especially in these times when i cannot afford to top off the tank. in other words, this fuel guage is very unruly and has its own way in registering what it feels like showjng me. is there a recall?. how can i correct this embarassing situation?. | |||

| The first problem is a clunking in the gas tank when it is over 1/2 a tank but less than full. when coming to a gentle stop, forward or reverse, the tank makes a physical 'thunk'. i have had the vehicle in to repair the problem 5 times now. the dealership has tried isolation pads, tightening fasteners, installing structural bracing straps, and even replaced the gas tank. all to no avail. this problem has been going on for almost 2 years now. i am at a loss as to what to do now. the second problem was with my serpentine belt. i was on my way home from work and i suddenly lost my power steering going into a 90 degree turn. i navigated through it, and the dealer retrieved my van the next morning. they found that the serpentine belt was shredded with no explanation. they replaced it, and i have not had a problem in that area since. | |||
