Fuel Gauge Problem

I dont know if this is happening to anybody else, but my gauge or something is really messed up. First thing is that i can drive 70 miles and the gauge wont even drop down to the F. Second thing is that as soon as it hits full, ill drive 20 miles and itll drop down to 1/2 a tank and stay there for like 200 miles, and then ill drive 50 miles and itll drop down to empty? WTF, so i put 2 gal of gas in it from the E and it jumps up to a lil bit above the 1/4 tank mark, is anybody else having a similar problem, and if so did you find a solution before going to the dealership?

Maybe a bad sensor?

Maybe you have something solid or accumulated substance in your gas tank causing your gauge to give off inaccurate readings.

( Don't go to the dealership, take it to some repair shop and have them check it for you before first )

i dont know about your other problems but 2 gallons is almost a 1/4 tank on our gauges so that is correct.
