Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe

My gas gage started to work improperly. I took it to a mechanic I trust. He told me the fuel pump senders were bad. After he removed them he called me to tell me I was lucky my vehicle didn't catch fire or blow up! one sender has insulation broken and the wire is exposed. He also found that an internal wire was even worst. The protective connector was gone! that left those wires with no protection. They show signs of bad corrosion on both the wires and the terminals. They appear to maybe even have shorted out. They are black and a rust orange color. They are also pitted. I contacted Hyundai. They didn't seem to care. They were more concerned that I hadn't brought my car to a dealer for over five years. I explained that two different dealerships here in miami had cheated me and treated me badly. The representative was trying to insist if I had brought my vehicle in they would have discovered the problem sooner. That is just not true. They only way to observe this problem was to physically remove the backseat and open the floor to expose the gas tank and then remove the pump! they will not do anything! I have the feeling that they won't even report this to their own company or to you. I still have the parts. They were also not interested in seeing them or pictures. They just don't care! what if my car caught fire? what if the fumes ignited? anyone in the backseat would have been either killed or injured!.

Car suddenly stopped running while driving, causing me to almost get rear ended 3 times. Shop adv the fuel pump burnt the fuse out causing the the car to loose power and die. The 15 amp fuse was burnt out 2 times in 12 months or less the first time was city streets the second time was on the highway at 70 mph. Bot times time I was in motion.

~tl the contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving various speeds, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the fuel gauge displayed an incorrect reading. The dealer (hatfield Hyundai, 1400 auto mall pkwy, columbus, OH 43228) diagnosed that the fuel sender assembly and fuel pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 156,000.

Gas gauge and light always on empty when tight after it is full of gas and loud humming sound from fuel pump. Stalled out in middle of intersection multiple times.

Airbag light continuously on. Never had a problem before. Have been in an accident but cleared. Car was put back together and not on a salvage title. Fuel pump sensors are at fault. Need to replace fuel pump sensors. All fault codes appear when vehicle is not in motion.

Around 90,000 miles my fuel sensor started not working the check engine light will come on and the needle will go up and down as well as the digital miles left on trip, I bought an extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle, but it only lasted until 80,000 miles of course. The sensor barely works and when it does it only lasts for a little while. I have to keep track myself of how much gas is in the car. I have seen several complaints about this issue and recalls for much less. I do not think vehicle owners should have to pay to replace these sensors and/or fuel pumps when this is clearly a defect by Hyundai. I will never purchase another Hyundai again.
