| Description of the problem | At about 62,000 miles the fuel gauge started to act erratically. It would be inconsistent with the actual amount of fuel that was in the tank. Finally, it reads empty all of the time and the check engine light stays illuminated. I was quoted upwards of $800 from fucillo hyundai of syracuse ny. Now i have to rely on the trip odometer to calculate the amount of fuel i have. This isn't so much fun with 3 children on board. |
