Description of the problem	Within the past week i noticed my fuel gauge drop to empty and the fuel low light go on. I had plenty of gas knowing that i had just filled up the day before. I shut off the engine and when i restarted the engine the fuel gauge went up to 3/4 full as where i expected it to go. Suddenly the gauge was going down and than back up again. I pushed the trip button to see the range of miles to empty and it was also dropping and climbing. I seemed to work it's self out and was fine for three days. Than i was driving and the gauge dropped to zero again and returned to 1/2 full, that's when my check engine light came on. That same day i dropped it off to my local hyundai dealer. They were busy and looked at the car the next day. They tested the car and came up with codes that stated failed fuel level sensors. Replace fuel level sensors a and b. The replacement parts are as follows, qty. Of 2 #31115 packing fuel pump, qty. Of 2 # 31152 ring lock, qty of 1 #94430 sender assy, and qty of 1 #94460 sender assy . This repair at the dealer cost me 714. 39 after taxes ,code check and environmental fees. After i agreed to the repair, due to the fact that the car is only 5 years young. I was amazed when i researched this on line, that this seems to be an ongoing problem with alot of vehicles. How many cars have to fail before there is a recall on these sensors.
