So I’m sitting in my vehicle the other day eating lunch and it’s running, all of a sudden the low fuel warning light comes on and immediately after I am watching the fuel gauge slowly drop empty!!!!! Anybody experience this before if so, is it the sender or something else in the electrical line??

On an incline? It's a serious problem. I've run out of gas twice, first time burning the fuel pump second time had to get 5 gallons to start in my driveway. Now I never ever let it go below 75 miles to empty, or a quarter tank left!

Any trouble codes?
It was under warranty first time at less than 10K miles, had to be towed at bottom of the hill on my street and get a new fuel pump. Second time roadside assistance brought me gas to put in to restart on my driveway incline on a cold morning remote start. Today in fact I was at 95 miles to empty, made sure I stopped to refill. Will never trust it past 75 miles to empty.
