Description of the problem	Fuel sender (in tank fuel sensor) has failed. First noticed over a year ago with intermittent erroneous fuel gauge reading after refueling, but quickly corrected its self. Noticed the full failure a day after i had refueled and my fuel gauge read half full. Assumed that i was a victim of fuel theft, but no sign of forced entry to my fuel door. I refueled and the car topped off within about a gallon. However the gauge was still reading low. Assumed that maybe the thieves had damaged and partially obstructed my fill hose with a lost syphon hose. Over the next few days the gauge slowly rose to full. Now the gauge fluctuates between full and half full. Researched the sending unit and found that this was a known problem with three models and a tsb (sb-10052842-7701) for inspection of the unit was issued may 2013 and a replacement procedure (sb-10060967-2273) was issued june 2014. Aftermarket replacement part is affordable at approximately $45 from third part vendor, but the replacement procedure is complicated by the high risk of working with gasoline and either trying to remove the fuel pump in the tight confines of the car with the fuel tank still installed or removing the tank with residual fuel.
