| Description of the problem | When you fill up the gas tank, it register empty and the check engine light comes on. Sometimes the gauge will read correctly and then it goes back to empty. I have to always fill the car up because i don't know how much gas is in the car. This is annoying. It very expensive to fix. This is the third hyundai i've bought (two santa fe's and one sonata) and this car is the worst model i bought. |
