| Description of the problem | The fuel reading fluctuates continuously with incorrect readings sometimes it says empty when it's full or has a significant amount of gas in it. Then the check engine light comes on. I took it to an auto care shop to have them use their computerized system to see why my check engine light is on. It showed the codes p0464 and p0463. This is the fuel sensor circuit and it is extremely dangerous because you could be driving and the gage suddenly reads empty and your car shuts down. If your on the highway and this happens your dead! This is happening to so many hyundai santa fe's yet no one is doing anything about it. This needs to be addressed asap or there will be extreme consequences! This happens when the vehicle is in motion when it's stationary and everytime you start the car! It is so dangerous and i'm afraid to drive my car now |
