Description of the problem	For the last year, my fuel gauge has been malfunctioning. At first, it only happened every once in a while, but once i got to about 8 months, the gauge has constantly told me the wrong fuel level. I have asked a mechanic about it and it is the fuel level sensors located in the gas tank that are malfunctioning. Apparently, this is a problem with many of the santa fe's that were built around that time. I have a low mileage vehicle. It was bought in 2016 with 22,000 miles. The gas gauge problem started around 40,000 miles and only happened a few times. The constant check engine light illumination and constant malfunction of the gas gauge started at 50,000 miles and i am now at 60,000 miles. The problem happens when the car is stationary and while i am driving it. I have to keep a full tank at all times just do i don't run out if gas.
