THIS IS PERTAINING TO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/FUEL GAUGE ON A 2007 VRSCAW. GAUGE STARTED ACTING ERRATIC AT ABOUT 2000 MILES. AFTER FILL WOULD READ FINE AND THEN ABOUT 3/4 TO 1/2 TANK I WOULD SLOWLY SEE THE NEEDLE DROP TO EMPTY AND THEN RAISE BACK UP TO WHATEVER IT CHOSE. HAD SENDING UNIT REPLACED WITH WHAT THE CURRENT REVISION WAS AT THE TIME. WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2000 TO 3000 MILES AND DID THE SAME THING. AS OF NOW, THERE IS NO NEW REVISION.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
