Cool Fuel Sensor Recall messed up Gas Gauge

Monday I took my Lexus is250 in for the Fuel sensor recall I drove it home from the dealership seemed fine - let it sit tues - weds had to run a few errands which was in total mileage about 100miles - which should leave my tank 3/4 full,since they returned it to me with a full tank of gas....my gas gauge coming back home said 3/4, but now it just keeps going into the full range no movement I drove around nothing happens, I turned it off and on a bunch of times when off it goes back to empty when on it goes back to full - I just sent the lexus dealership an email..

Any ideas what the service tech could have done?? was working fine before I took it there.

Thanks so much.

This might seem too simple... have you contacted the dealership?

Ya unless you have to drive a couple hundred miles to the dealership, this is a no brainer.

Your car is generating its own fuel!!! Enjoy it!!

haha jk. contact the dealership, they should be able to figure it out for you.
Sounds like something might've happened when they went to perform the recall.
