Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problems of the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe

"takata recall" my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, at approximately 110 miles, developed a problem, which actually results in a serious/safety problem. The problem is with the fuel system fuel gauge displaying the correct amount of fuel available in the tank. I don't know if the problem is with the fuel pumps, or the fuel sensing units in the gas tanks, or with the wiring between the gas tank and the gas gauge, or with the gas gauge itself. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is stationary or moving nor if the vehicle is slanted at an angle. Quite often the problem results in the "check engine" light coming on. So far I've only run out of gas once, and since I was on the freeway this was a very serious safety issue as I lost both my steering and braking systems. Any more I stop for fuel after about 120 miles or so. My Hyundai dealer has quoted my a price of around $3,000. 00 (that's three thousand dollars) to fix the problem, and he said that they can't even guarantee that the problem won't reoccur. And he said that this is not included in the extended warranty which I purchased with the vehicle. This is an issue that "Hyundai" should take care of !!!.

I noticed the fuel gauge was erratic and mostly incorrect. After a couple of weeks it quit working at all. Ive tried to reset the trip odometer and keep up with the amount of gas I should have in the tank. I gave out of gas on an interstate at 11pm in sub freezing weather. The dealership diagnosed the fuel sensor as the problem. I've noticed several hundreds of similar complaints here. The estimated fix is $500. Additionally there is a hissing sound from the tank when I stop to fill up. Upon filling the tank the engine will not crank initially. It apprears to be flooding the engine with gasoline. If im patient I will eventually get it cranked. When I pull off it shuts off. This continues as I intentionally drive around in the parking lot due to having this happen once after pulling out onto the highway almost caused an accident. I am a retiree on fixed income. The auto will not pass nc emissions inspection due this month until the check engine light goes off.

Gas gauge does not register amount of gas that is in the tank. Fill up tank and gauge remains a empty or goes to full and the quickly moves to empty. Many complaints about same issue with 2009 Santa Fe. Safety issue because you never know how much gas you have and can very easily run out of gas on a major highway causing a major accident.

Starting on July 15, 2016, the check engine light (mil) came on, as well the fuel gauge incorrectly indicating the amount of fuel, in the fuel tank, at 107130 miles. I had the mil diagnosed as p0464, fuel sensor defect. Many other Hyundai Santa Fe owners, have reported this problem, requesting financial assistance to repair this significant safety problem, to Hyundai customer service, to no avail. Their response has been it is not their concern and have not offered to provide financial assistance. If I were to be driving at highway speed, e. G. , 55-75 mph, and have the engine shut down, due to lack of fuel, the power steering would be significantly impaired, with loss of control. This could lead to loss of control of my vehicle, with subsequent probability of an "accident", resulting in personal injury, resulting in death, to me and my family members, as well as others, as well as serious property damage. The cost for replacement of the fuel level sensors is approximately $600. 00 to $800. 00. This fuels sensor problem and mil, occurs when stationary, when the ignition switch is turned to start, as well as when in motion, at any speed. I believe that before some disastrous event occurs, Hyundai should assist in the replacement of these defective fuel sensors.

The check engine light and low fuel light come on even with a full tank of gas. I've received several estimates to have the fuel sensor replaced and it will cost anywhere from $600 to $700. This should be a recall considering the amount of people with the same problem and safety issues.

Engine and fuel warning lights come on and off sporadically, and the gas gauge shows the tank is empty even after we filled it. This happens regardless of the amount of fuel in the gas tank, and it makes it impossible to know the actual amount of gasoline in the vehicle. We brought it to the dealer today and was told the 2 fuel sensors need to be replaced at a cost of $600. When we purchased the vehicle new we also purchased a maintenance program, but, of course, the fuel sensors are excluded from coverage. Upon doing online research we learned there are many others who are experiencing this same problem. We feel that because this has happened to other Hyundai owners it may be a problem that hyndai needs to repair at no cost to the owners of these vehicles.
