Description of the problem	The check engine light came on and fuel gauge went down to empty, even though i had a full tank. Took to my mechanic and he said the check engine code indicated "p0464 - fuel level sensor 'a' ckt intermittent" problem. He informed me of his price, but recommended i go to a hyundai dealership first to see if covered under the 100k power train warranty. Took to local dealer on 11/10/14 and they said it wasn't covered or considered a recall, and it would cost over $800 to repair. My mechanic suggested i use a bottle or two of chevron techron fuel additive with my next fill up because it may clean the sending unit, as gasoline tends to coat the grid that contacts pass over causing the gage failure. A 20 oz and 12 oz bottle were added and shortly after, the check engine light went out and the fuel gage began to register properly again. This lasted about 2 months, but then the light came on again in january and gage went down when i started up the car one morning. I tried the same thing again with the techron, and it worked for about 1 month. The problem has occurred several more times lately but the gage problem is inconsistent. Sometimes everything seems good then if i happen to accelerate quickly, everything goes haywire again. I don't want to keep paying for bottles of techron on every other fill-up or use premium gas (which didn't work btw), and i also think this problem is common enough on 2007-2009 santa fe's on internet postings that its time for hyundai to step up to fix this problem as a recall. Some think it's not important because it hasn't caused a crash, fire, or accident resulting in injury or death, but if someone ignores it and runs out of gas on a major highway, in a tunnel (i go through one 2x per day), or another dangerous spot, it very well could cause a major accident or death. Do the right thing hyundai and issue a recall for this issue!!
