Eight problems related to recreational vehicle lpg tank valve/gauge have been reported for the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe based on all problems reported for the 2008 Santa Fe.
The fuel gauge fluctuates and is not accurate. After filling up the gas tank, the fuel gauge may show "empty", and it rises and falls very quickly. This can occur when driving straight, turning, or when parked while the vehicle is turned on. There is no way to accurately tell how much fuel is left in the tank. This faulty fuel gauge could leave any Santa Fe motorist and their passengers stranded in a dangerous area(e. G. Busy highway) or condition(e. G. Blizzard or heat wave in arizona). Please initiate a recall to have this fixed. Per online sources, many Santa Fe owners in this year range have this same broken fuel gauge.
When the vehicle is filled up with gas the fuel gauge goes to zero and the engine service light comes on and the codes generated are p2067, p0463 and p0464. At some point the gauge begins working properly again but the accuracy of the gauge is in question. There is a safety concern since the vehicle could run out of gas at any time leaving the user stranded in bad weather or in a dangerous traffic situation. This problem is not isolated, judging from similar complaints on the internet, it appears that the parts used for the fuel level indication are unreliable and a recall is needed to resolve this safety issue. The problem occurs at fill up and driving has no effect on this issue and has been happening to my vehicle over the last couple of months but seems to be getting worse as time goes on. .
Fuel gauge always reads as empty, regardless of movement or amount of gas in tank, leaving driver to run out of gas in undesirable places. Repair is approx 600-800 dollars. Many complaints should be recalled. Has to do with the fuel sending sensor or something I was told.
Fuel gauge has been faulty and check engine light would turn on and off after replacing what I thought was a bad battery one month ago. One week ago while driving, all lights on dashboard came on (battery, check engine, abs, esc. . . ), engine started to rev, electrical and power steering failed, and car had to be turned off in the middle of the road and towed home. This has happened twice while driving now. Issue is from a failing/failed alternator caused by oil leak from front valve cover. This problem is identical to issues with '06-'12 veracruz, recall #121.
The fuel gauge began faultily showing empty only to slowly creep up to the correct level of gas. It now shows empty at all times. Full tank, empty tank, makes no difference.
The gas gauge is not working properly and it seems to be due to the fuel sensor. It constantly fluctuates up and down. It causes the check engine light to be on consistently. This seems to be something that a lot of Hyundai customers are dealing with per websites that I have read.
For past 2 years my fuel tank will sender it's full when it's been low and only too 5 gals in a 19 gal. Tank. I have read over many times complaints that the gas gauge doesn't work?? I've been quoted $425 to repair it? it's a 2008 Hyundai sante fe limited. The chk engine light was on my mechanic used the car detector system. It states fuel cap issues. I replaced that $70 later it not working. I've dealt with this for too many years.
At start up I noticed that the fuel gauge needle was not registering the correct amount of fuel in the tank. It stayed pegged at zero amount of fuel. Later and no it registers sometime and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it registers full with a full tank and then sinks to h#alf a tank and later to zero, hardly indicating the correct amount of fuel.
