Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging Problems of Hyundai Elantra

While filling up the gas tank the straps holding the gas tank broke and now the gas tank is hanging down. It looks like the straps are rusted through. I know the car is old but to have both straps fail at the same time is dangerous. I don't know if this is a design or material flaw but it is a safety issue and needs to be looked into.

Ongoing problems with fuel filling. It takes almost 1/2 hour to fill a tank. It continues to shut off. This is not getting better, but actually worse. Please advise on any recalls or safety issues with the gaseline/tank. Thank you.

I bought a brand new 2012 Hyundai Elantra on Feb. 10, 2012. Within several weeks I noticed the gas disappearing so quickly so I began filling the tank and taking pictures. I bought this particular vehicle due to the fact it advertised 40 mi. Gal on highway and 29 city. I took it to the dealership, I was told to fill car and reset trip and drive on highway. I did as they said on several occasions before going back. The trip continued to read 18 mph and approximately (as low as 10. 9 and as high as 24. 8 mpg) one of the mechanics (I guess he was a mechanic) took it for a ride, I waited; he was gone an hour. When he got back he said he drove 47 miles and got it to read 33 mpg in which he said he combined city and highway together. I have never got it to do that and I have been tracking it closely since I bought it. Also, the steering wheel squeals, I told them; they said it is nothing. The brakes (alloyed wheels) squeal after it rains, they said it is nothing. I smelled something coming from cabin filter, they said it is a big job to take apart to see what the smell is and they said they believed it is a dead animal in which I would have to pay for, I told them to forget it. They told me even though I only had about 1000 mi. On car after 3 mo. Went by they needed to change my oil so I had it changed. Everything is documented. I hope someone can help me. Thank you.

The car just started spilling out fuel after hours of being filled. We took the car directly to the dealer (where we purchased in 2002) and they said that we had over filled the gas tank which caused it to go into the carbon box. This seems to be the same statement many other drivers were told from dealers. $869 dollars later, they replaced the recalled faulty tank cap (which to me would have caused some of the fuel to swoosh around while driving - if never properly fit), and then charged us for non-warranty to replace the fuel line. At which time, our car has 30,800 miles and original owners. Upon picking up the "fixed" vehicle, the check engine light stayed lit. We called the dealer back immediately, but could not get in for a week, we drove the car during this time. Brought the vehicle back (7/08) and then was told that there were three "error" readings that were related to the fuel line. After speaking to a combative service tech, I explained that they did something and they needed to fix it, as the engine light was not on prior to their tech "fixing" our car. Suddenly, after I explained that if it is not under warranty then they are not charging me again for services that should have already been done the first time (under warranty in my opinion). It was amazing that the car was ready to go with no other needed service and the "error" lights were no longer detected. However, two days later 7/31/08, our car was to be serviced again because the check engine light is still not going off. Now, after having an smog check, our car did not pass inspection due to:failed - evaporative emissions control system detected - gross leak. Emissions should be under warranty and now the dealer - planet Hyundai, las vegas, is refusing to address the problem that has occurred while their tech "fixed" the fuel line problem. It is my opinion that after reading several other cases like this that the fuel line spillage is a common problem with this model.
