| Description of the problem | Fuel gauge stopped working. Showed empty at all times even when full. Had to always estimate how much gas was left in order not to run out. It was very inconvenient and i had to finally take it to hyundai to have fixed to the tune of $550. I agree there should have been a recall for this problem as it seems there are many others having the same problem. |
