When I got in my car to come home tonight the low fuel
warning came on it said 17 miles to empty. I had a 1/2
tank gas when I got to work, and now it showed it was
on empty?? My first thought was someone stole my gas,
but how was that possible??
So I stopped at the gas station just in case. I could only
put in 9 gallons so I had gas already in the car.
When I started the car the gauge went back to full??
Just wondering if anyone else had this issue with the 2005-
2007 models??

Mine did that once and I have heard others mention it as well. I wonder if following the TSB on the fuel pump replacement would fix it. Perhaps air bubbles get around the fuel level dealie (if I am getting too technical for you, just stop me) as well?
No not too technical. I had the fuel pump changed a few
months ago. I thought breifly the cold weather might of
had something to do with it??
I guess if it happens again it will become an issue to take up with
the dealer?? If they can do anything that is.

I had that happen twice while driving on a road course. The first time I got panicky, thinking I was going to run out of gas on the track. I limped into the pits and refueled and it only took 9 gallons. It happened again later in the day. I assumed it had something to do with the cornering forces and fuel slosh.
I had it happen to me after I filled the car. Gas gauge only showed 3/4 tank. Drove for a bit and shut off. When I restarted it read full tank like it should.

Mee too. Twice the gauge read 3/4 full after a fill-up, but slowly crept up to full after driving around for 5 minutes or so. I can certainly live with this unless it gets worse.

Well yeah, That was what concerned me the most, did I have
enough to even get to the gas station?? Unneccessary stress!!
Plus it was down right cold outside and I was not about to walk
to get gas!! LOL

It is definitely some sort of defect. I've driven plenty of cars on race tracks and never had the gas gauge bottom out.
Yes, evasive maneuvers seem to reek havoc on these gas gauges. Mine kept reading ...miles to empty on my road course event. Also if I do some hard cornering on the street it will happen.
Gas gauge sticking? 
Unneccessary stress!!
