Starting on 6/10/2016, every time I fill up the fuel tank, the fill tube backs up and the pump nozel shuts off. Making it take longer to fill the tank. The vehicle is stationary with engine off, at all service stations.
We bought our 2003 Hyundai Elantra used but in very good condition. Now after about a year when we try to fill the gas tank the pump shuts off repeatedly. Is there any recall covering this?.
Unable to fill gas tank because the gas pump would click off just after pumping a few dollars of gas into car although the gauge indicated the vehicle was near empty. This continues to be a problem over and over again and just started out of the blue. One day it was working fine, then, approx 1 month after I had the car, I noticed I was having problems with gas pump clicking off.
A few months back I began noticing that my check engine light came on. Would take 10- 15 mins to fill up gas tank. Sensor was triggered every few seconds, suggesting gas tank was full, but it was not. Took it to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong with the car. With in the last month I have been noticing that rear automatic locking seat belt is not staying locked. Child car seats do not stay secured. Car occasionally stalls when started, and air bag light does not illuminate to determine if air bag will deploy or not.

This continued to be a problem over and over again and just started out of the blue. One day it was working fine, then I noticed I was having problems with gas pump clicking off. Took vehicle to mechanic and described the problem, they pulled up the recall notice. Contacted Hyundai and was told that my car "just missed" the recall. Recall effected through November 9, 2003 and my car was made December 17, 2003. Therefore I would not qualify for the fuel tank assembly valve recall id # 04v369000 - fuel system, gasoline:storage a valve on the fuel tank assembly may not close properly. If a vehicle rolls over and the fuel tank assembly valve is not properly closed, fuel spillage may occur. After being told I did not qualify for the recall I take my car to the dealership that states, found canister assembly come apart internally restricting valve. The cost was going to be $450. 00 plus tax and labor. Tried to find a better deal and all mechanics are telling me Hyundai is refusing to fix the fuel tanks on some cars, but all the mechanics are doing is replacing the fuel tank assembly valve and vehicles are running fine with no further complaints. Hyundai is ripping off customers by failing to include all cars affected by this recall. After talking to several mechanics they say is uncommong for a canister assembly to come apart (noting it could happen, but rarely). The Hyundai people are saying my car is not "sensing" when it is full. Which sounds like the exact thing the recall implies. I'm in the process of gathering the money to have this done (not at the dealership) and see if it fixes my problem as well.
