| Description of the problem | In july/aug of 2015 my gas gauge and miles-to-empty indicator started going crazy. I would fill the tank with gas but the gauge read empty. While driving, the miles-to-empty indicator would constantly, rapidly change from 200 to 40 to 68 to 113 to whatever so i couldn't tell how much gas i had left. I took the car in for an oil change at hyundai on aug 8, 2015 and asked them to also look at the gas gauge. He said that there was nothing they could do until the engine light came on. The engine light finally came on at the end of november 2015 so i took the car in 12/10/15, and they said they had to replace two fuel sensors in the gas tank. When the problem initially started, i had about 64000 miles on the car. |
