If it's reading 75 to 84 and you add gas, it stays on 75 to 84 until you go back and add more. So even after adding gas, sometimes she's…

My 2.0t engine which i have maintained religiously per the factory severe service schedule with synthetic oil failed without warning driving at night on the highway. This almost resulted in a collision and was able to eventually pull to the side of the road with what little momentum i had. This was a dangerous situation and i feel should be investigated.

It took approximately 15-20 minutes to fill up 3/4 of the tank. I initially thought it was the gas pump that was bad. About a week later, when i attempted to fill up again, the same problem occurred on a different pump. I…
