| Description of the problem | In august 2013, the gas gauge on my 2007 santa fe started acting strange. (61000 miles on the vehicle). When i would fill up the gas tank, the low fuel light would come on and the fuel gauge would show empty. After driving about 50 miles, the low fuel light would go out but then the check engine light would come on and the fuel gauge would show partially full. This went on for about a month and then my santa fe was due for its annual pennsylvania state inspection. I took it to my local mechanic who said it wouldn't pass the inspection with the check engine light on and the codes showed the fuel gauge sensors were bad. Both fuel gauge sensors were replaced by my local mechanic (not hyundai) for about $290. I've read many complaints about this issue but have seen no recall from hyundai. |
