Refuel light lit with gas tank 3/4 full! 850

Hi, all,

I was waiting in my car with engine running (and heater was on). All of a sudden, the fuel indicator dropped to the red zone and the refuel light was lit, while the tank was about 3/4 full. I turned off the engine a couple of times; but could not correct the problem. No smell of gas was detected and the car seemed running fine. After about 20 feet of driving, the refuel light was off and the indicator was back to where it was supposed to be (no more problem). Has anyone experieced the same problem before? Does this mean anything (bad)? Thank you.

Happy New Year!
