Gas Gauge just stayed at empty, drove the car a few times still at Empty. So I tried cycling the key 3 times on then off, That seems to have fixed it. Anyone else have trouble like this?

Mine has been intermittently been doing that where I start with a full tank and then next time I get in its half empty or showing totally empty. It hasn't happened for months, but just did the other day. I haven't found a lot of threads with the issue, so I guess we are the unlucky few. From what I did find it sounds like a faulty sending unit that needs replaced. Unfortunately, that requires dropping the tank to get it done.

Remove the back seat and cut an access panel. Easy DIY project. There are videos.

That's exactly what happened, she filled it came home. Next start it was empty. Drove it a few times and it stayed at empty. Then I cycled the key 3 times and it instantly started working again.

But at least it is a bad ass fast v6 with gears, stall and tune that gets awesome mileage. You got that going for you.
