“In 4 separate incidents since I purchased my vehicle in 2012, I have run out of gas but the gas gauge shows more than 1/4 tank of fuel available. Most recently, on feb 12,2018, my car stopped while traveling 65 MPH on I-270 in columbus oh in heavy traffic with no warning and 1/3 tank of gas showing on the gauge.
