A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
The morning after filling up my tank, my fuel gauge had the empty tank indicator on. I thought someone had stolen my gas. I had no choice but to drive it to work, sweating I was going to make it the entire way. When I tried to put more gas in, the tank was full, but the gas gauge said empty.
I called my local Hyundai dealership where they were quick to inform me it would be at least $400-$600 to fix it, because the gas tank would need to be taken off to fix it. He said I could always keep the trip meter as my gas gauge and just fill it up sooner than later to make sure I didn't run out of gas.
After reading all of the other complaints, this is a known issue and Hyundai should create the recall and own up to the faulty part(s). I have enjoyed my car for years, but this really makes me mad. I will likely get this fixed because I really don't like playing Russian Roulette with my life on the road.
