Fuel Gauge Issue

atomic aces · 06-02-2014, 05:47 PM

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.

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