Fuel gauge reports inaccurate fuel level readings. Rate at which gauge depletes is too rapid such that when gauge registers 1/2 tank, 3/4 tank of fuel exists, when gauge registers 1/4 tank, 1/2 tank exists, and so on. Gauge registers 3-4 gallons less than what is in the fuel tank (capacity: 16 gallons). Problem reported to dealersip twice. Dealer advises that there is no fix for this issue-- states that Volvo North America does not have a fix currently under development. Problem began to occur approx 3 to 4 months after new vehicle purchase.
