Default found a way to fix fuel gauge staying at 0.

accelerate fast, stop hard. do this 5 or 6 times, then the gauge will go to where it suppose to be.. lets se how long this lasts. i think this is because it throws the gas around in the gas tank hah.

How did you figure that out? Or is that AoA's fix?

Default d00d, that's hilarious. "fuel gauge fix: slosh gas around in tank" LOL!

I'd take it to the dealer. I had a similar problem with my fuel gauge sticking at half full. New parts, problem hasn't been back.

Default Why brand of gas do you use?

There was a big stink here about Shell gas wrecking gas gauge sending units. Apparently Chryslers were quite vulnerable. My inlaws' car had the problem but a bunch of STP fuel system cleaner and the sloshing trick fixed it (for now, at least)
