Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

Purchased a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe and found afterward that the fuel tank was leaking from inside the plastic shell surrounding it. Discovered at that time that this is a common problem in states that have corrosion (road salt) and it is difficult to spot because of the plastic shell. Found that Hyundai had not done a recall but extended the warranty, but only an additional 5 years or 50, 000 miles on the fuel tank. Contacted Hyundai because local dealer stated that they (the company) have repaired these after the vehicle has exceeded 150,000 miles at company cost but I went through the steps with their consumer affairs division and was turned down. Vehicle cannot be driven because of leaking fuel right next to hot exhaust pipe. This needs to be a recall.

Like the other posted complaints, my 2009 Santa Fe is having fuel gauge issues. It never shows the correct level. I changed the fuel cap but this did nothing to solve the problem. My check engine light comes on because of this problem. The readout comes back: "fuel level sensor". This can be a dangerous situation and will prevent me from passing a state inspection. I use my trip odometer to gauge where I am with fuel tank level. I have to set my trip to zero at every fill-up. At 144 miles I know I'm at 1/2 a tank roughly. This is an issue that Hyundai is refusing to admit to so they can save money. Maybe this isn't an air bag, but, if I loan my car to my daughter and she runs out of fuel on a highway. . . . . . I don't want to think about it. Force Hyundai to fix this!.

I purchased this vehicle the end of June 2014, which I think I got a lemon. My gas release cap would not open and was told that a part needed to be order. I took my car in to south boulevard Hyundai yesterday morning, so they (service tech) can open the gas cap so I could put gas in my car. I don't think parts should be breaking like that in the short time that I had the car, so the cap was open and the service tech left the broken piece inside the cap, he then told me that the part will be in next Tuesday, iwhich he did not sound convincing. When I first got the car, there was a tear in the visor and it tokkm a couple of weeks to get that replace aafter I pushed them to do it, I was also informed the cabin air filter need to be replaced. I don't think I should be replacing anything other than reg oil filters. Now I hear a slight whisper in the car, then the car almost cut off on me. I can see if I am abusing the vehicle but I am not, all I do is drive to a from work and to the grocery store, now since the gas cap will not close I am afraid to go anywhere think someone may put something in the gas tank or break the cap door off, I don't like driving see my gas cap door is open. I also have a trunk release feature on my key chain but don't have the feature on the car, I called hyunday USA and was told that I should have that feature, and when I contact Hyundai on south boulevard in charlotte, nc I was told I cannot get that feature. , very disappointing about paying for a $25,000. 00 car, as and cannot get the help that I need, as far as the cabin air filter, the tech stated that I would be smelling something fowl, and I do, and is making my head hurts everytime I get in the car, I just hope I don't get cancel from it.

Trying to pull over at parking lot, the engine was suddenly stopped at about 16:00 on the day of may 15, 2016. Tried several times for restart, but in vain. Battery status was good. Called service dealer and they couldn¡¯t get the cause of the malfunction, they sent my car to the upper leveled service workshop. The shop manager said his hands are tied in this case and explained accumulated metal(aluminum) particles blocked the fuel flows of high pressure pump of the fuel supply system. And the car needs replacement of whole fuel supply system from fuel tank to fuel pressure pump. During the 4 years of occupation of the car, I have driven the car in very normal and regular manner. At every 7~8,000 km, fuel filter was replaced with new one. The accumulation of the metal(alumnum) particles seemed come from the defective part during the manufacturing by factory. If this occurred during the road operation, sudden engine stop may cause a crash, injuries, deaths. Now the driver¡¯s is in a serious mental condition of deep concern on the possibly fatal crash, even not occurred. The real problem is they don¡¯t know the exact reason of the metal particles accumulation in the fuel supply system. Because they don¡¯t know the real cause and the warrantee period completed, the car owner is responsible for the repair cost, maker is insisting.

At 8,000 miles the check engine light came on. Took it into the dealer and they said the gas canister overflow was full causing the check engine light to come on. They replaced the gas canister and filter under warranty. At 14,000 the check engine light came on - took it to the dealer - they said I had overflowed the gas on fillup, and I had to pay $800-900 to get it fixed. I never top off the tank. It sounds like a defect to me, and I cannot afford $900 every 10 tankfuls or so. Hyundai customer service is looking into it asked them to fix the defect - or take the car back - waiting to hear.

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.

Cruise control would turn on but not allow a speed to be set. Also esc off light remained on dash solid. We never received any notice of a recall from Hyundai. I see numerous other Hyundai owners who have had this problem. Also the check engine light has been on and won't turn off no matter how many times the cap is taken off then put back on after three turns. Fuel reads empty when tank is full.

I took my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe to the dealer on 4/6/12 because the gas gauge was fluctuating constantly. I could not tell how much gas was in the tank at any given time. They replaced the gas float during that visit. When I picked up the car from the dealer, the car was filled with strong gas fumes. All of the technicians and service representatives were gone when I arrived so I did not have anyone to talk to about it. I figured the smell would go away but the problem surfaced every time I filled my gas tank more than half full. The smell lessens during the day as the car airs out with the windows open but after sitting overnight or all day with the doors and windows closed, the fumes build up again. I brought the car back to the dealer on 6/27/12 and complained of the overpowering gas fumes every time I put gas in my car. I explained that I noticed a pattern of the fumes becoming worse if the tank was more than half full and I could no longer fill up my gas tank in order to avoid the fumes. They returned the car to me and said they could not smell any fumes nor could they find a possible cause. Everything was said to be fine with the car. After putting gas in the car on 11/16/2012, the car became so overwhelmingly full of intense gas fumes that I instantly developed a headache as soon as I got in it. I brought the car into the dealer the next morning because I am no longer confident the car is safe. I do not want to continue breathing gas fumes and getting headaches when I get in the car. Once again the car was returned to me with no report of a problem. They had the windows and vents open so I am not surprised they did not smell gas. It was suggested that maybe I was topping off the gas tank too much or spilling gas around the gas cap. I was told that there could not be a leak in the seals because if there was, the sensor would go off.
