| Description of the problem | I have owned my santa fe since 2011 with no issues & i have always done routine maintenance. I came home from work with half a tank of gas- got back in my vehicle approximately 1 hour later and my fuel gage read that i was on e, light was on, and my trip meter read 35 miles remaining with the gas i had. I refueled that day, putting 20 dollars of gas and it filled it almost up. My gas tank requires $40-$50 to completely fill so we knew something was wrong. My husband, being a mechanic, checked to make sure i didn't have any leaks or holes in my gas tank that could be causing the issue. 4 days later i arrive at work with half a tank of gas. When i leave 3 hours later my fuel gage again says i am on e, light is on, and i only have 30-40 miles left with the gas i have. I shut the car off about ten minutes later and turn it back on and the fuel gage is back to half a tank. |
