Description of the problem	The gas gauge began fluctuating between half full and empty. The check engine light came on. I took it to my nearest o'reilly's where they tested it and said it was a fuel sensor problem. After a couple weeks it began to seemingly work again, but i began having serious problems with it a few weeks after that. My gauge never registers full after filling it. Sometimes it starts off at empty (light on) but as i drive it creeps up to half full. I began investigating the issue online and am shocked to see how many other 2008 santa fe owners are having this problem. Obviously it is a defective part on hyundais behalf. I never know exactly how much gas i have. I have to use my trip meter to estimate when i need to fill it. I have investigated the cost to fix this issue and it is expensive - between $500 - $800. I believe this is a defect and should be recalled by hyundai.
