| Description of the problem | The fuel gauge fluctuates all the time. Sometimes i get a reading but most times it turns on the empty light . I have consulted several hyundai dealers mechanics and been told that this is a big and frequent problem. I have read of so many complaints , that i don't understand why there hasn't been a recall on said defect. . It is as you know virtually impossible and very expensive and dangerous for me to try to fix.. I've ran out of gas several times and have been in harms way. |
