Just got the z today. At first they said next week thursday I was like wtf i drop the car monday but later in the afternoob got my car back. They said they replace the fuel sender both of them and the problem was the thing holding the fuel sender was long and it was getting stuck somewhere so they installed the new sender which is shorter. They said this is a known problem but not much ppl come in to get it fix so thats why there is no recall yet. But they said the recall should come in soon for the senders. Im just glad I got my car back before I leave for iraq. Didnt want to have my brother pick up my car at the dealer dont know where u would take it lol.

i suppose you can use the trip meter to keep an eye on how much fuel you've consumed..? i do this on my G since it has the filler problem where it cant physically fill up to full on these newer gas pump nozzles. seems like epa did something to pre-maturely shut-off the valve on their pumps when filling our G's.

wasn't an issue until about 7-8yrs ago.

Same issue just happened to me on the way home. Drove about 10 mins and noticed 2 dots on the fuel gauge with a range of about 70 miles. I thought no way as I had just filled up before the weekend. 15 miles down the road, all dots were gone and range was showing blank. Pulled in and got gas and pump stopped at 8 gallons. Tank is full and when I cranked her back up range is still blank and no dots on the fuel gauge. Service Engine Soon light is now on.

I just hit 30,500 miles and it looks like I'll be taking her in to the dealer in the morning.

Took her into the dealership on Tuesday and they diagnosed the problem to be the sending unit(s). Didn't have them in stock so I expected to have her back maybe Thursday or Friday.

Received a call Thursday that upon installing the new sending unit they noticed the baffle floating around in the gas tank. They ordered a new tank and said they'd have to remove the rear suspension, rear end, Ark Grip, and driveshaft just to drop the tank and replace it.

Expecting to be without her for another week. :shakes head:

On the bright side at least it is still under warranty.
