Default Fuel Gauge

Wondering if anyone else has had issues with the fuel gauge jumping? When I get down to 3/4 tank (range 250-260), the range will jump up over 300 and the gauge will show tank is completely full. I will mention it at the 5000 mile check, but thought I would see if anyone else had this issue. Thanks in advance!

Seems like a malfunction.

So the needle jumps from 3/4 to full in front of your eyes? Does it ever go back down? take a video of this.

Correct. It would be hard to get a video as I am not sure exactly when it happens. Needle will go back up to full and range back to 320-330. The needle and range then go down at a quicker pace than normal... for example I might drive 10 miles but the range goes down 20-25 miles.

Gas crisis and you're going from 3/4 to full without pumping? Leave well enough alone😀
