Has anyone encountered an issue where the "50 miles to empty" notification appears, then suddenly starts to drop about 1 mile every couple of seconds, very rapidly? I've had this vehicle for a year and this has never happened. 50 miles to empty dropped to 0 miles within 1 minute of driving. The digital gas guage meter drops rapidly as well.

This is definitely a bug because it's never happened before

Sounds like an issue with the sending unit on the pump

Seems this has happened to a few others as well, at least folks that publicly post the issue online. The MTE dropped so fast that I pulled over to checked if I had gas leaking out of the tank. I'm going to risk testing to see if the problem happens again. Strange thing is, after the last filled up, before the issue, my gas guage seemed to drop at a slower rate than usual...not at an alarming rate but just a but slower. I thought ok maybe it's this summer gas stuff that I hear about that's giving me better mileage lol

My 2025 Badlands said 50 miles to empty. Drove it 55 miles and filled it with 21 gallons.

I usually wait till the little Gas Pump icon starts to beep and blink on my dash. My wife cannot understand how I could possibly wait past just under 3/4 of a tank to run to the station to fill up. She asserts, "Don't call ME when you're out of gas on the side of the road. If you let it get that low, you DESERVE to walk to the station".

That's interesting since, according to the manual, the tank holds 20.8 gallons. However there are variations since capacities aren't certified.

The closest I've come is 20.051 gallons when the display said 16 miles to empty.
