Replacing the in-tank sensors is estimated at $600+. Research indicates this is not a user friendly fix and requires a special tool. We decided to monitor our mileage using the trip odometer and fill up after 275 miles. My internet search about this repair seems to indicate this is a fairly common problem - why isn’t this an automatic fix?"
Anonymous, MO (2007 Hyundai Santa Fe SE 2.7-L V6)"The problem was intermittent at two operate times.
