I've had my 02 RAV4 L for less than a week now. It appears to have been well cared for. But since the drive home from the dealer the fuel gage seems to wander. At first I thought it was my imagination, but today I pulled into the post office with a quarter tank, checked my mail, then came back and started my RAV only to find my gage pegged below the empty mark and the low fuel lamp screaming for attention. I almost drove directly to a gas station, but instead headed for home several miles away.
After about six miles the needle went back up to nearly a quarter tank and the light went out. Clearly not my imagination this time!
Is this a short, a defective sending unit, bad gage or what ..?
TIA, Pete
