| 2007 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | TWO WEEKS AGO, I STARTED MY CAR AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE FUEL GAUGE WAY BELOW "E" AND THE LIGHT HAD TURNED ON, ALONG WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. I WAS AFRAID I HAD NEGLECTED TO GET GAS, EVEN THOUGHT I WAS PRETTY SURE THAT WHEN I LEFT THE CAR THE NIGHT BEFORE I WAS OVER A 1/4 OF A TANK. I MADE IT TO THE GAS STATION AND FUELED UP. I ONLY PUT $20 IN AT THE TIME, BECAUSE I WAS IN A HURRY. I GOT IN, STARTED THE CAR AND I WAS UP ALMOST FULL, WHICH IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE ON $20 IN A SANTA FE. IT TURNS OUT I HAD PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK AND THE GAUGE WASN'T REGISTERING IT PROPERLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE CAR NEEDS TO "WARM UP" BEFORE THE FUEL GAUGE ACTUALLY REGISTERS THE AMOUNT OF GAS CORRECTLY. AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT PROBLEM COULD WORSEN WITH TIME AND WILL EFFECT OTHER SYSTEMS IN THE CAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT I MAY ACTUALLY RUN OF OUT GAS AND BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WITH MY CHILD BECAUSE THE GAUGE ISN'T ACCURATE AND LIKE ALL HUMAN BEINGS..I CAN'T ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I FUELED UP. *TR |
