| Description of the problem | The fuel gage does not register then it acts erratically - going from full to empyt to 1/2 tank then remains on empty - all this within 20 min. Of filling up the tank. I have read forums it is not limited to my car. There are many hyundai owners that have the same problem. There should be a recall for this - its not limited to sonata - santa fe models reported it too. |
