Description of the problem	I have a 2008 hyundai santa fe that has a faulty fuel level sensor. The gas gauge does not show the correct amount of gas in the tank and the check engine light is always on. About 95 percent of the time it shows empty, even after filling up the tank. Sometimes the gauge will move just over half way, then it goes back to empty. I have taken the vehicle to three different shops to have it checked out and they all say that fuel level sensor not working properly. To fix this issue will be between $700 - $1000. After looking up this issue on the internet, there are multiple complaints about this same issue for the exact my make, model, and year vehicle that i am making the complaint about. This issue is consent if i am moving or stationary. The only way to ensure i do not run out of gas is to fill up about the 250 mile mark to make sure i do not get stranded. I have attached a picture of the indicator after filling up the tank completely. If you need to contact [xxx]. Thanks in advance any help in this matter.
