I own a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe, and there is a problem with the 2007 to 2010 Santa Fe's that need to be looked at. The fuel level sending units tend to go bad which causes the fuel gauge to read empty, and activates the check engine light. After checking this info on the web, it seems this is a common problem with Santa Fe's and the company knows about it but won't do anything but charge the consumer anywhere from $500 to $1000 to repair it. I also found that this has been reported on thousands of these vehicles. I feel this is a safety matter because the fuel gauge will drop to zero and check engine light comes on while driving. It's scary not knowing if you have fuel or not or how long you can drive when it drops to "e". Please look into this. Thank you in advance.
I also am having many issues with my SUV. As others have states the driver side sun visor broke off while driving. I had to cut the wire to get it to stop dangling. I now have no driver side sun visor. I also have a check engine light on due to my fuel sensors. My gas gauge fluctuates. I have to go based off mileage when to get gas. I think it is ridiculous that none of this is covered under a warranty and there has been no recall on anything that has affected many or people.

My vehicle is constantly showing a light indicating I am low on fuel even after putting gas in it still shows. I am concerned because I am having to guess where I am fuel wise and I travel quite a bit and my son sometimes drives my car and would pray I never guess wrong because I shutter to think what would happen if I miscalculated and run out of gas in the middle of rush hour traffic on 20 east or west . This is a danger for me, my kids and everyone around me on the road.
Fuel gauge stopped working.
Throttle position sensor failed, resulting in no response when accelerator was depressed. Car would only idle.
