Moi, aussi. So have a few others. The hard cornering doesn't make sense compared to running extremely low on fuel, running on vapour as they say, but people report these happenings. I don't see a car not starting showing three dots on the gauge unless its way off and requires calibration. I've gone to zero dots, fuel range reads "---" and still made it to a gas station. Took 69 liters to fill up.

The difinition of low fuel definitely varies here. Lots wait for 2 dots to fill.
