Not sure. Havent seen this before - but it's worth mentioning that the famous drivetrain malfunction was related to a malfunction in the fuel gauge reading. The car would think it was empty and throw a drivetrain malfunction error. This may be related to that issue ....

Is it related to the fuel pump recall? Have you sent your car in for the software update?

My car is an HEA car and therefore was not effected with the fuel pump issue and have not had issues in over 3k miles.

I think my guage or fuel level sensor is broken as the driving range has been going from 200 Miles of range to 80 miles... Just like a classic car.. Have to guess when the car is out of fuel.

It is a soft error, issue with electronics related to the gauge but still driveable.... get it checked and if no issue cleared...
