Fuel guage failure on 2003 Vue?

May 12, 2004 2 Replies

Hi, I filled up my Vue a few days ago. Guage went to full. As I drove for the next 1/2 hr it plummeted to a 1/4 tank like I was leaking fuel. ( i wasn't). Now it just hangs around empty, if I fill up it might go to almost 1/2 tank reading. The car runs fine so it knows it has fuel. Any ideas on what failed, electrical, or whatever?



Thanks, Jim


I don't know, but I had the very same problem with my 03 Vue this winter. On some of the coldest days, it would behave exactly as you describe. It only did it a couple times, and I haven't had a problem since. If you find out what the deal is, please post.

Seems like something the dealer should fix under warranty. Most likely it is a problem with the sending unit in the tank.
