Description of the problem	At 140,000 miles, the fuel sensor fails to show the correct amount of fuel. The indicator moves from half to empty in an instant. After re-cranking and driving a bit, the fuel needle will then slowly return to showing under half a tank. The range indicator does not indicate the correct range due to faulty sensor. I have to watch the trip mileage to know the amount of fuel i have. All problems start at about a 1/2 tank. Check engine light is on. Calling dealer but i know the answer after reading the complaints. I don't really have the $$$ to fix.
