On trip computer, the milage left on fuel available goes up and down rapidly in short period of time what is possible problem?
The fuel level sensors in virtually ALL 05, 06, 07......oh, hell ALL Hyundai Santa Fe's are garbage.
They all wear out prematurely and cause all kinds of grief related to fuel guage, trip computer activity.
Hound your dealer to replace BOTH of them under warranty the moment you spot strange gas gage activity. It's expensive, so DON'T delay; you don't wanna have to fork over 600 bucks to have this done!
This is calculated by the on-board computer and gives a result between current consumption in relation to fuel level. If this distance is fluctuating, my guess is that the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank is starting to wear out. It is something I have seen on a few Hyundai's, especially if the owner has had a habit of half filling the tank regularly!
Hope this helps!
