gas guage problems anyone?

Anyone here have gas guage problems? Today, when I was driving the S5, after filling up and driving down the road, the guage went dead, the console display didn't have information for the gas anymore (miles left, etc) -- just all dotted lines where the numbers should have been.

after hitting a bump, it came back on. I thought this was very strange...anyone else have something similar? This is the first problem we have on our car, besides the common wiper blade chatters.

Thanks all.

Same problem on my 00 CLK. Comes and goes but never when the dealer can see it.

It happened on my 2000 S430 so luckily for me, I had my digital camera and snapped a shot. Now I have proof to show them! Not too bad of a shot going 70 mph.

Yes, exactly what happened to me...well, except I wasn't going 70MPH :p

It's only happened once, but I will make note of it at next service. No sense in going in for only this problem when it's working fine now.
