Hit 5000 miles on my way home from work today. After 2 months, still loving every minute in this car.

Added the ADD dual oil catch cans to the car today. Took about 45 minutes. Very easy install.

We just got 10" of heavy wet snow. I got my AWD Stinger majorly stuck, and then scratched the side skirt shoveling it out. Time for a winter rat.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it won't be too bad of a scratch.

Good to hear, I always find that I tend to get rock chips in the smallest areas where the clear bra isn't covered lol.

I took my Stinger in for the 3rd time today trying to figure out why the fuel sensors are not working. The fuel gauge never goes much past 1/2 tank and the fuel range jumps around when started (finally caught that on video). The 2nd time I had it in (this is after I ran her dry!!), they said it had too much fuel in the tank for them to check the sensors (this was after they kept her overnight to order in the special fuel tank sensor too!). I took her in this morning, I figured she had about a quarter tank (I have to keep track of the miles driven so I don't run out again). They called me a few hours later saying I only had an eight of a tank and needed me to authorize them to put gas in. Low and behold, they filled it up and now they think the gauges and sensors are working great. I was told to bring it back if I think the gauges aren't working again! I paid $50 for about $35 worth of gas (yes, they even charged me tax on the gas!)

Curious though, do you every try top of the tank?

Another member had this issue and the fuel level has to be replaced. There are wires that can block the float from going lower than 1/2 a tank. He ran out of gas and thought there was something wrong with his car, put gas in it and it started right up. Dealer replaced the float in the tank and noticed the wire causing the issue. Search the forums, might be something to arm yourself with before talking to the dealer.

Hi SeoulStinger,
I was trying to run the fuel down to see if the "problem persisted" as they like to call it. Which, of course it did.
I have been keeping track of the miles manually and have been filling it up as needed.

Today I stared at her while I was eating lunch. I need therapy.
