Consumer Description

ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I HAD ABOUT A HALF TANK OF GAS AT THE TIME. WHILE WAITING ON A PASSENGER THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY. I THOUGHT PERHAPS I HAD A LEAK, BUT DIDN'T NOTICE OR SMELL GASOLINE. I WENT TO THE FUELING STATION AND FILLED UP. IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 7 GALLONS TO FILL THE TANK. WHEN THE TANK GETS TO APROX HALF FULL THE NEEDLE WILL TRAVEL TO EMPTY. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR A RECALL, BUT FOUND NONE. WHEN RESEARCHING THE RECALL I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE SANTA FE VEHICLES.
