It's querky...There are times when I fill-up and the lights are all active. On occasion that last light is missing, but when I shut down and restart they are all there.

In my car, the very right dot would not light up. Just got it back from the shop. Here is my diagnosis:
"Found the fuel gauge is reading incorrectly when filled. Performed the fuel gauge operation test and found that all the LEDs are functioning properly. Removed the found level sensor and found the readings are out of spec. Replaced both fuel level sensors and seals. Ok after replacement." I haven't filled it up yet, but I'm hopeful. |

My car is at 12xxx miles and I've been having this same fuel lighting up problems maybe a few thousand miles ago. It's very annoying to me and the fact that a brand new $30k+ car with problems already when the car is very new. I don't know if I'm just going to sit back and let the car rot away with problems.

I've got an idea... why not try and fill the tank all the way to the top to overflowing. It'll probably work then.

** Update**
I just came back from the dealer. Apparently, when they turned the engine back on the fuel lights went back to normal. This has happened to me more than once, turning engine on and off or whatnot didn't do the trick. The dealer just blamed it on the heat and says it could be acting up under 110+ degree weather. They told me just to keep and eye on it and when the temperature gets MUCH cooler and if it still continues to have any problem, bring it back in. They also tell me that I have plenty of time under warranty. What I didn't mention was that I have lifetime warranty from the dealership I bought the car from. ^^ When I fill my gas tank, I always go 1 more click after it clicks the first time from being full. This has been the same routine with filling up gas since I got my brand new car. Everything was normal until semi recently. |

Just an update, I've only filled up once since the dealership visit, but the gauge worked normally. And no, overfilling does not correct the problem. |

wassup everyone sorry for the late update on mine but yea dealership replace my guage clust and after I filled up with shell gas, lights all came on. This last but a week. After a week I decide to switch to a different gas and behold the last led didny turn on again. So now I need to head back to dealership to fix this problem and have them replace the fuel sender. Anyone that got fuel sender replace did the problem go away or permanently fix the problem. They need to hurry up and do a recall. My warranty is about to end on my car and I dont have time to take it to the dealership anymore going to iraq in 10 days

I had this problem last year right before putting it in the garage for the winter, trust me, i thought it was extremely annoying and knowing it wasnt coming out of the garage for a while was even more frustrating. When i got it back on the road, i ran the gas down as far as possible, filled it up and havent had the problem since....
