Consumer Description

MY MOTHER PURCHASED A 2008 HYUNDAI SANTA FE, AWD 2.7L V6 MODEL BRAND NEW IN 2009. HER FUEL GAUGE FAILED AT AROUND 110,000 MILES APPROX. I NOTICED OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE...SO I THOUGHT I'D MENTION THAT HER FUEL GAUGE ALSO QUIT WORKING! SHE TOOK IT IN TO GET FIXED, AND I BELIEVE IT WAS A PRETTY COSTLY JOB! MAYBE WITH EVERYBODY PUTTING THEIR HEADS TOGETHER, THIS ISSUE CAN GET MORE ATTENTION AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO A RECALL. THANKS!
