1 Gasoline Engine problem

Failure Date: 06/17/1998

I have taken my car back to the dealer 8 times. The engine cuts out at all rates of speed. Causing loss of power and power steering. The dealer replaced several parts but the car is still not working properly. When pumping gas, when the tank is full, the pump doesn't shut off. Gas then pours out of my car and down the side of the car. Hyundai has told me that they have a part that can fix it but they haven't made any attempt to fix it at this time.

Vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power intermittently when driving at speeds of 40-60 mph. Driver must pull over to side of road and restart vehicle. Dealer has attempted to correct defect 4 times, but could not determine the cause.
