Starter failed, replaced starter. Took a week because dealer had to order part. First starter they got was defective, so had to order a new one. Fuel sensor had been replaced on previous visit. Fuel gauge did not go all the way to full. Dealer had to replace sending unit again as the one they originally put in was defective (had been replaced but never tested by dealer).

Fuel gauge erratic, would show empty when full and start to function properly when the tank level dropped some. CEL P0463 set. These are classic symptoms of a failed level sender so it w/fuel pump was replaced. Didn't solve problem/symptom.

Refer to previous issue noted in December, fuel gauge non working properly. It was determined that the part (fuel pump assy) I was sold was the incorrect one and didn't include the fuel level sender. How the mechanic missed this upon swapping it out is beyond me. Anyway, the dealer installed the level sender and all was fine. Included a diagnostic fee.
