Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2002 Hyundai Accent

When putting gas in the car, the fuel pump clicks off every 10 cents or so as if the tank is full but it is not. Sometimes the gas oven runs back out of the tank as if it is overfilled and running over, but it is not. I live in NJ, which is one of the two states that have full service gas stations. And gas station attendants constantly tell me that they encounter this problem specifically with Hyundai's all the time! they have told me that they have also seen this with brand new Hyundai models as well, so it's not a problem that has improved over the years since my dated 2002 model. Even the service tech at my local Hyundai dealership was all too familiar with this defect widely known with Hyundai's when I spoke to him. He also quoted me a price around $600, which he said from his experience as a technician doesn't guarantee the problem to be fixed. There are cases of the problem coming back after the repair is done! I contacted Hyundai with my concerns and to specifically ask why this widely known defect was not recalled and I did not get a real answer to my question. I have been dealing with this problem for some time. And looking at some of the other complaints filed, plus the people I've talked to (including Hyundai employees), they have known about this common problem, but refuse to acknowledge it as a defect and fix the issue. Very frustrating.

The contact owns 2002 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that while refueling the fuel gauge indicated that the fuel tank was full. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnose that the fuel pump and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 69,012 and the current mileage was 69,100.
