Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe

Gas tank has corrosion and mechanic confirms the tank is leaking gasoline due to the corrosion!!!!.

Gas is leaking out of of the car the gas tank is bad I was driving the car and it stopped.

Leaky gas tank was replaced this summer and now I have gas fumes again.

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving, a fuel odor emitted in the interior and exterior of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank was rusted and leaking. As a result, the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure and the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 06v317000 (fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was 94,000.

Gas tank is corroded and leaking fuel due to road salt because I live in the northeast. I was notified that Hyundai has "extended the warranty" on model years 2001-2006 up to 150,000 miles. I do not believe this "extended warranty" should have a mileage restriction, and I also do not believe this should be an extension of the warranty but an all our recall by Hyundai. Cars are leaking gas! my car has no other rust on it and I keep my car clean and parked in my garage. My gas tank should not be rusted out on a car that is 10 years old. I also own a 1999 and another 2005 Hyundai (elantra & sonata) and neither have any gas tank corrosion. This is a design flaw and a dangerous situation.

We bought this vehicle in June 2013. We had it almost a month when the steering locked up on me. The power steering pressure line blew out. We took it to the dealer that we bought it from and they fixed the line. Three days later the steering went again we got it to the dealership and they were going to charge us $300. 00. I got upset but the most they would do for me was split the cost. Then a few months later I started to smell gas. I didn't see any thing on the ground so I left it go. Then in November 2013 the air bag light came on and also the seat belt light would come on and go off and the bell would ding as if the seat belt wasn't buckled but it was. I just had it tested by a Hyundai dealer and the mechanic said that there was a defective sensor in the seat belt assembly that causes the airbag light to come on and the seat belt light and bell to go off. The mechanic also said that there is a leak somewhere in the gas tank. The whole repair will cost me about $2000. 00 to have repaired and I don't have that kind of money. If the sensor is not replaced he said the air bag will probably not deploy in a frontal collision. There should be a recall on the sensor at least because that shouldn't be suject to wear and tear.
