Description of the problem	The gas gauge on our santa fe stopped working right after filling the tank to full. After driving for about 50 miles or so, the gauge will slowly rise to about 3/4 full but will drop back down if the suv sits in idle for any time longer than 3 minutes. It will also fluctuate greatly after it hits 1/2 a tank of gas. For example, it will go from having over 1/4 of a tank to showing no gas and the gas light being on after one shut off and restart. The check engine light is consistently on in our vehicle now and i never know how much gas i truly have in my suv. It now causes me to question the safety and reliability of the vehicle. We have loved our santa fe up until this point and are very disappointed in the large expense to have it fixed when it seems to be trend in the santa fe's that were made around the time of ours. This is now the second issue that we have had with the hyundai brand related to a faulty part that causes an expensive fix. As a mother of a young child and currently expecting our second child, i am now reconsidering sticking with the hyundai brand for future family vehicles. Hyundai needs to make this right or it will certainly cause families like mine to buy another brand going forward.
