If vehicle is on an incline in a nose-down position, either idling or turned off, it runs out of gas even if the tank is more than 1/4 full. It appears that the design of the fuel tank / fuel intake system is flawed. Gas cannot move from the tank to the engine if vehicle is on an incline. Vehicle has stalled in traffic on hills, and has failed to start if left parked nose-down on an incline. Again this happens with more than 1/4 tank of gas in tank.
