| Description of the problem | My fuel level gauge has become erratic to not working at all causing my check engine light to come on. I have to spend $1700. 00 to get this repair made so that i can register my vehicle. The problem is the fuel level sensors, one or both have failed. I have never had the problem with any other vehicle ever. I have googled this and see that it has been a problem also for many others who own a 08 hyundai santa fe. I wanted to get this information out there that it is a known problem which hyundai should recall to fix. |
