Description of the problem	While driving in the highway at a speed of ~60 mph, i noticed the arm on my fuel gauge start to dip. It dropped from above a half tank to well below a quarter tank of gas. As you can imagine, this caused immediate panic as i was afraid there was a fuel leak of some sort. As i was preparing to move out of traffic i noticed that the arm on the gauge began to return to its original spot. This caused some comfort as i was sure there was enough fuel in the tank because i had filled up the tank just a few days prior and had not done much driving since. Ever since that incident, the fuel gauge has continued to 'act up' and now i am in a situation where i cannot rely on the fuel gauge to accurate indicate the amount of fuel that i have. The nhtsa has recognized this to be a significant safety hazard for gm ... "an inaccurate fuel gauge may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash," the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) said on its website. As of yet there is no recall issued for the santa fe. I can only hope that with the numerous complaints that i have seen related to the santa fe that the nhtsa makes the same conclusion.
