New delivery 3/24/2016 with 175 miles. Took the car in 4/6/2016 with 945 miles for oil change and fuel gauge concern. Full tank on delivery. At half tank I decided to fill up. Only took 6 gallons to read full. 18.5 gallon tank. Was told no problem found. I have a nine video diary spanning several weeks and tanks from early May to late June 2016. Inconsistent. Readings vary from: Reads FULL after fill up and within 20 miles of driving, drops to 3/4. Fuel up. Gas pump stops. Gauge reads 7/8th full. Drive to another gas station. Add another 1 gallon before pump stops and gauge DROPS from 7/8th to 3/4. Currently in dealership service department on DAY 7 STILL with no problem found. I contacted Hyundai Customer Service yesterday and was told it would be 3 to 5 days before either myself or the dealership will be contacted. This is our third Hyundai/Kia product since 2008. Our 2012 Kia Forte SX 5 door is nearly 4 years old with 80,000 miles. How does that gauge act ? From day one to today, you can take the gauge to E and Miles To Empty reading zero or flashing dotted lines and that 13.6 gallon tank will take 12.3 gallons. I don't think it's too much to ask that the fuel gauge in my NEW $35,000 car be at least as accurate as our four year old $20,000 car (when new) from the same company. Received a call as I'm typing this. They still cannot verify an issue with the gauge - which I find puzzling because complaints I found about it date back to late 2014 so why this is being treated like a mystery is beyond me.
Update from Jul 28, 2016: After several days at the dealership, re-positioning the fuel level sender(s) in the fuel tank seems to have resolved the issue.
