Other Fuel System Tank Mounting Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe - part 2

As noted in other complaints, my check engine light came on and my fuel gauge will not register the amount of fuel, it fluctuates from empty to a 1/4 tank to 3/4 tank. The fuel sensors are bad. There should be a recall for this. This is a known problem based on NHTSA complaints but yet it appears that Hyundai will not take action. This problem began right after I hit the 60,000 mile mark.

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.

My gas gauge acts really weird and the check engine light comes on. The gas gauge tells me I have no gas after I've filled up the car. This has been an ongoing problem since the warranty expired on my Santa Fe. The gas gauge also fluctuates and will not register the proper amount of gas in the gas tank.

At about 62,000 miles the fuel guage started to act eratically. Itwould be inconsistant with the actual amount of fuel that was in the tank. Finally, it reads empty all of the time and the check engine light stays illuminated. I was quoted upwards of $800 from fucillo Hyundai of syracuse NY. Now I have to rely on the trip odometer to calculate the amount of fuel I have. This isn't so much fun with 3 children on board.

I bought the Hyundai less than a year ago. A few months after I bought it, I started smelling gas. I took it to the shop, and was told the gas tank was leaking. After paying an exorbitant amount to replace it, it worked fine. Now less than a year later, I took the car into the shop for a routine inspection and was informed that my new gas tank is leaking and needs to be replaced. What's the problem, Hyundai? this is ridiculous!.

Fueling car takes an inordinate amount of time. It is as if there is a blockage in the tank filler pipe. According to the dealer this is caused by an ageing charcoal filter within the fuel system. The dealer is aware of the problem but has no explanation, nor suggestions for a fix.

In July of 2012 our 2008 Santa Fe began to show false readings of the amount of fuel present in the tank. Was told by dealership in colonial heights, va that they were aware or similar issues with gas gauges in Santa Fes. Was told the fix would be around $800 or we could monitor fuel consumption/level using trip odometer. The problem with using the trip meter is that varying traffic conditions can cause this estimation to be completely inaccurate causing the motorist to be stranded on the roadway. Definately a safety issue!.

Take a look at where the oil filter is at on the 2001 Hyundai sante fe's. The oil filters are very weak and can bust easily. All it takes is a big rock or any foreign object to hit it on the road and all your oil is out. The filters are right in the front and are open to any objects.
