Default Fuel gauge problem

Has anyone else got a problem with their fuel guage reading? I can have a 1/4 tank and it shows 65-70 miles till empty then all of a sudden it will show low range. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a bad connection and replaced or reconnected it but it is still doing the same thing. Once it gets to the low range it runs completely out in a few miles. Had that happen on the interstate when I thought I could go another 5-10 miles to a station but that didn't happen.

Sounds familar but...brain isn't functioning at the moment(need sleep).

It's gonna be either a bad sending unit...or it's osme kind of re-programming TSb...most likley.

I'll try and research it in the morning.

All V's have inaccurate gauges when it gets below 1/4

all vs have issues with the guage under 1/4, but some actually qualify for a TSB to fix the connection pipe (between the two bladders)
