    Fuel sensor seems to report accurate from full tank to just under half a tank. Then it starts going up towards full again as the tank further empties.

    Fuel Level doesn't show correct amount of fuel. We just use the single trip gage and on the information panel we also use 'fuel used' and reset it when we fill up the car. Works for us!

    Problem just started all of a sudden last June. Fuel gauge shows full when filled, then drops to 1/2 tank as it is used, then starts to go back up to full as the tank gets low. Have been setting trip button every time I fill up and add more fuel when I have gone about 250 miles. Plan to replace the fuel filter.
