Description of the problem	Fuel gauge not working properly. Goes to empty when i put gas in to fill tank and fuel light comes on. After driving a few miles, needle on gauge fluctuates. Then check engine light comes on. I ran out of gas while trying to enter into traffic on highway and almost got ran over , almost causing a serious accident. Extremely dangerous situation! My mechanic just replaced both fuel sensors on 4/29/2019 as check engine readout indicated. This costly repair did not fix the problem. The fuel gauge still fluctuates, reads empty when filling, fuel light comes on and now check engine light is on again. This is a serious safty proplem and should be recalled by hyundai. I am afraid now when driving my car because of this. Is hyundai not recalling because they know even when replaced, the new parts are faulty too? Nhtsa, you need to please step in before someone gets seriously hurt or killed. You have plenty of complaints of this problem and i feel i just wasted my money on this repair.
