Fuel gage does not work. Fill up car with gas and the tank shows empty for days and the check engine light comes on. Getting new system does not fix this issue. Each day you get in the car it will show a different and inaccurate readying. I have seen many other online complaining about this.

Fuel gauge failed. The fuel tank would be full but the gauge read 1/4 tank, (ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere) contacted Hyundai, they were aware of this issue but offered no solution as far as recall, they stated the fix would cost approx. $600. 00 with parts and labor. I checked this issue on line and this defect in the "fuel sensors" has been going on from approx. 2007 to 2015 effecting thousands of Hyundai Santa Fe's. My question is, why hasn't "the Hyundai motor CO. " corrected this safety problem or issued a recall? they expect customer loyalty but it appears the loyalty goes only one way. I was very happy with my 2008 Santa Fe but now I'm wondering how many other safety issues are being covered up. I was at my Hyundai dealer just prior to the fuel sensor issue looking at the new palisade limited" but now I'll look elsewhere pel815@verizon. Net.

Fuel sensor bad, gauge moves from full to empty before my eyes on a full tank of gas. Engine light comes on, low fuel light comes on. Mechanic tells me that this should be covered by Hyundai with a recall but there is no recall. Worries me constantly, have to fill up after 60 miles every time.

I went to get gas this morning and could not open the fuel door to get to my gas tank. I even used the emergency hatch in the back of my vehicle but it would not release. Apparently, the plunger broke on the fuel door and got stuck shut. I had to get a mechanic to open it so I could put gas in my vehicle. Currently it is not latched.

Fuel gauge became erratic and triggered check engine light to come on also it will fluctuate a little bit when it hits the 1/4 mark and the low fuel light will come on. It will go from 1/4 to empty can not tell how much fuel is in the tank. When I fill the tank it registers empty and the and the low fuel light indicator comes on. Starting the car again on the same day or the next day, the gage comes up again to the full or half way mark and the light goes out. The car stalls while in city traffic causing a dangerous situation another car could crash into me.

With 49,377 miles, I added partial fuel (6. 9 gallons) and the fuel gauge showed zero with the fuel light on. After a few days the fuel gauge read normally. Since then I've added fuel five more times. Each time the gauge went to zero and then ramped up gradually. Yesterday, February 29, the check engine light came on steady. Today I had the error code read: p0463 fuel level sensor a circuit high input. Although the part required lists for $79. 99, it is apparently changed in the fuel tank and very expensive to access.

Bought an used 2004 Santa Fe in August from a dealer. Two weeks ago I started noticing a strong smell of gas around my vehicle and last week I began seeing a small discolored area on the cement in the garage. Mom checked my vehicle and found that the my fuel tank is leaking. The discoloration of the cement under my vehicle is in fact leaking gas. Tank is corroded and I will need a new tank installed.

The fuel gauge isn't giving the correct readings. Twice my wife and kids were stranded on the highway because she was thinking she had 70/75 miles to go and get to a station. 1st time, she was driving home and it suddenly shuts off and 2nd time it shuts off at a traffic light. If it's reading 75 to 84 and you add gas, it stays on 75 to 84 until you go back and add more. So even after adding gas, sometimes she's scared that the car may be going by the guage reading instead of what's actually in the tank and may still shut off. P Hyundai says it's not a danger but hows your car suddenly kills on the highway away from family or friends or maybe struck by another vehicle, not danger?.

When getting gas, the pump always 'clicks off' when im pumping gas. Does not matter how full. The only way to ensure a full tank is to continue pumping until gas comes out the top of the filler neck. This usually means overriding as many as 50 pump 'click offs'. I have seen other Santa Fe owners complaining about the same problem obviously this is a manufacturing flaw & needs to be fixed. This method of getting a full tank is not desirable and what's the point of having a 17 gallon gas tank if it takes 45minutes to fill up. Thank you.

I was getting check system warnings. Then my fuel gauges went crazy and did not register accurately and I could not tell if my gas tank was holding the gas and as much gas as I put in was not registering and once the car stopped while driving and it had gas in it. Apparently per what I've read from others, this is a rampant problem with this vehicle year and model and I think other years too. I've written to Hyundai three times and they refused to do anything didn't even answer me. In last email to them I said I'd contact you if they continued to ignore and they did?! this should be a recall as it is dangerous to say the least. My local Hyundai dealership wanted $221 to just look at it and told me to contact Hyundai corporate to get them to recall this issue. They will not and this is ludicrous. My vehicle has only 76,000 miles on it. I wound up having the repair done not at a Hyundai dealership,but by a very reputable mechanic. I paid $540 for this and it is outrageous Hyundai refuses to do a recall on this. Can you get them to reimburse for this repair please and likewise for all others affected by this. It's a dangerous issue. How can they get away with this?? it is outrageous to say the least! when car stopped it was luckily on a local street and I was lucky little traffic or I would have been hit stopping while driving! Hyundai does not care! the car jerked on stopping too. Very frightening to say the least! I was afraid to drive it so I did the repair and I cannot afford the cost and will be paying three times this via my credit card installments! I live on social security solely and am 75 years old. Please help. If you want my receipt please advise. If you want to see my emails sent to Hyundai advise too.

Gas gauge highly inaccurate. Fuel warning light goes on and check engine light also appears. Have to pull over as afraid to drive. Finally go to nearest gas station only to find out that gas tank was still half full. This has happened a number of times. Vehicle has only 60,000 miles.

Issue 1) fuel sensor had to be replaced, one was done by me the other by mechanic. It stopped showing how much gas I had in tank so I had to guess. Seems to be a know. And recurring issue issue 2) headlights have all of a sudden stopped working, the high beamss work issue 3) the driver lock no longer works but others do and the gas door no longer unlocks from driver door so I have to use the emergency release to get at the tank. Issue 4) the latch for the hood is stuck open, this has been a known issue on another model from the same year. I can get mechanic records for fuel issue, that was about 1. 4 years ago. Headlights were yesterday and hood as of today. The door issue within last few months and gas door within 2 years.

Gas tank has corrosion and mechanic confirms the tank is leaking gasoline due to the corrosion!!!!.

The fuel gage keeps marking the wrong level of gas. First it went crazy going up and down. After sensors were changed, it stayed at half of tank even when full. Now the fuel system will need to be replaced again because when it reaches a certain gas level, the check engine shows up. Its random issues and all have to do with the pump, and sensors. Been trying to fix this for 2 years and replacing the system seems to work for a few months and then the issues show up again.

Takata recall, the seat belt is getting stocked and tight during driving also doesn't recline when taking it off still hanging, the fuel evaporates from the fuel tank and doesn't give any mileage as described when driving feel every little thing on the road including small rocks.

Engine light stays on and the fuel needle stays on empty after the tank is full.

The fuel gauge stopped working at 84500 miles. The check engine light comes on and even though the tank is full, the gauge reads empty and the fuel low light comes on.

Gas tank leak upon delivery. After inspecting the leak, technicians were able to identify the manufacturer had issued repairs on gas tanks that were too thin and as a result, the vehicle we purchased was not properly repaired and leaked fuel.

Vehicle fuel tank is rotted and leaking fuel. Call Hyundai and they say its covered under extended warranty for 15 years or 150000 miles. I am over on mileage. They say not covered. What does mileage have to do with corrosion?.

Fuel gauge shows empty, low fuel light and check engine light comes on after driving a little sometimes everything gets to normal next day fuel gauge shows empty or half full when it is full because I know I just had it filled. There are a lot of complains about this online forums. Hyundai have to recall this problem the repair is very expensive and you don't know exactly how much fuel you have in your tank also since check engine light comes on you can not pass state inspection. Vehicle has 58000 miles .

Fuel sensor failing. Fill tank and sensor stays at empty with warning light.

My 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe while driving stalls, truck is no longer on while driving. Power steering and control over steering wheel is loss. This has been happening quite frequently while driving. Happen twice while driving on highway which, scared me to death. Check engine light and battery lights comes on when this happens. Now the engine light comes on stay for a few days then turns off. My fuel gage k doesn't work properly. I can fill my tank up on full, then it will drop to the e line like there is no gas. The yellow light comes on. Not safe because now I don't know if my truck is full or really empty. Why haven't there been any recalls on these issues especially since, there are numerous complaints by owners with the same year and model.

Fuel level sensor failed. . . . Inaccurate fuel gauge causing owners to not know when the cars fuel tank is low, and sometimes causing the vehicle to run out of fuel while driving.

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe, 180k miles, 2nd owner. Customer states: fuel leaking from fuel tank onto ground; safety concern & fire hazard. Unable to park in garage/driveway. Fuel light on; low fuel level. Filled with $7. 00 in gas ($2. 70/gal). After fueling, fuel gauge hasn't moved. Added more fuel & set gas station fuel nozzle to auto stop when full. Gauge says 3/4 tank (normally would read full tank). Then drove 12 miles no issues. Parked on residential street for 1-2 days. Searched online found �warranty extension� on fuel tank. Driving to certified Hyundai dealer, 15 miles away. Drove 5 miles on interstate, losing power. Pulled off at nearest exit, died while driving in traffic, over interstate bridge. Oil, battery, check engine light, etc. On. Cars behind me mad, honking, rush hour. Got it started, nowhere safe to pull over, lane ieads me to interstate, now headed in opposite direction towards home. Lost power, died again, <1 mile from home on exit ramp. Let sit 4-5 hrs. Dark;11pm. Restarted, drove few feet, died. Dark outside. Put in neutral, roll backwards, steer onto shoulder for safety. Dot/sheriff tagged car next a. M. Called Hyundai consumer affairs & was advised to tow to dealer. I did. Hyundai stating outside of milage allowance & not covered. Why is this not a safety recall? this is a public safety hazard! even when parked! fuel leaks/issues put the public at risk! not safe parking in my garage/driveway, public/residential streets, neighborhoods, schools, businesses/retail properties, let alone driving. What if a cigarette is tossed by a passerby, rolls under a leaking fuel tank & leads to fire, damages, injuries and/or death(s) to those in/around vehicle? this should be taken more seriously! it's a public safety hazard! mileage shouldn't matter (see Lexus recall, June 2018; cbs news). Cust=single mom & ft college student=the struggle is real. Please advise.

The check engine light comes on when you are around a half a tank of gas and even if you fill it up it takes it 2 or 3 times of starting it for it to go off. I'm not sure what is causing this. Also the esc and the abs lights have been on and won't go off. The book says the abs light is for service but I have has it serviced several time and it still doesn't go out.

Gas is leaking out of of the car the gas tank is bad I was driving the car and it stopped.

Fuel level indicator stopped working. Gas tank can be full, and it stays on empty or fluctuates while driving or stopped.

For the last year, my fuel gauge has been malfunctioning. At first, it only happened every once in a while, but once I got to about 8 months, the gauge has constantly told me the wrong fuel level. I have asked a mechanic about it and it is the fuel level sensors located in the gas tank that are malfunctioning. Apparently, this is a problem with many of the Santa Fe's that were built around that time. I have a low mileage vehicle. It was bought in 2016 with 22,000 miles. The gas gauge problem started around 40,000 miles and only happened a few times. The constant check engine light illumination and constant malfunction of the gas gauge started at 50,000 miles and I am now at 60,000 miles. The problem happens when the car is stationary and while I am driving it. I have to keep a full tank at all times just do I don't run out if gas.

My check engine light came on. When I took it to my mechanic the reason was my fuel sensor is not working. My gas gauge does not tell me how much gas is in the car. The repair would be costly and requires the removal of the gas tank. Due to this defect, my car will not pass MD emissions testing. The gas gauge works intermittently to let me know how much fuel is in the car so I need to monitor how many miles between fill ups in order to not run out of gas. It operates sporadically while moving or stopped.

Serious fuel gauge malfunction. Gauge always reads empty, even after a fill up. Gauge continues to read empty whether stationary, in motion, on a city street, turning braking, etc. I believe the cause of the safety risk is a failed fuel sender assembly, likely parts 94460-0w000 and 94430-0w000. This appears to be a widespread problem in the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe model. Definitely a safety hazard, as I cannot tell how much fuel is in my tank while driving. Another common issue with this make and model is a failure of the purge valve. This has also happened in my vehicle. This defect will prohibit the car from starting if you fill up a full tank. So, the driver is forced to fill up less than a full tank so that they can be confident that the car will start after putting gas in the vehicle. This is a less serious hazard than the fuel gauge, but worrisome nonetheless.

Tl the contact owns a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked there was an abnormal smell of gas inside and outside the vehicle. The contact noticed gasoline leaking, additionally the check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer columbia Hyundai (10981 montgomery rd, cincinnati, OH 45249 (513) 489-2000) where it was diagnosed that the coil spring and fuel tank needed to be replaced as well as the contact was informed that the vehicle was 15 years old and over the mileage to be covered under a recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 198,000. Ap.

Leaky gas tank was replaced this summer and now I have gas fumes again.

Fuel senders are failing. Check engine light comes on and fuel gauge shows near empty even when vehicle has full tank.

My fuel guage in the car show no fuel at time and then 1/2 or 1/4 tank, check engine light is on, I have had the check engine light checked and was advised that it is the gauge in the fuel tank. There are other family with 2008 Hyundai with the same issue?? help the check engine light stays on. .
