Description of the problem	After filling my tank to full, a few minutes later while at a light, my gas light came on indicating low on fuel almost empty. Check engine light came on, went out, came on for few days. Took car to service at hyundai and was told that fuel sensors are bad and need to be replaced. Will cost almost $800. Service said that this has been a common occurrence in the 2008 santa fe's. And, apparently, none if it is warranted. Did some research online and learned that many are complaining of the same thing. Why has this not been recalled? This is very dangerous and puts owner of car in a position to be taken advantage of by dealer. Frustrated!!! Also, light is off for a while, then comes back on when driving and stationary.
