One day, while fueling my 2003 Hyundai Sonata, the pump clicked off after 1 gallon. From then on, it wouldn't let me fill more than 1 or 2 gallons without clicking off. Since that day, this problem occurs every time I refill and every time my tank is near empty or half empty, so I know that's not the issue.
When trying to fuel vehicle the nozzle will click off at 1 or 2 gallons. I have to repeatedly take the nozzle out and keep trying to refuel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer in which they dropped the gas tank and did something. I picked the vehicle up and went to refuel and the same problem still exist. Just out of money. I see this is an on-going problem with this vehicle. There should be a recall.
The consumer believes he received poor service from the dealer while having recall repairs done because the dealer didn't provide him with a loaner vehicle. Recall# 04v178000.
Consumer's vehicle experienced fuel spillage as described in the fuel tank assembly valve/fmvss301 recall 04v178000. But this occurred not in a roll over situation, but when filling the fuel tank with fuel at the gas station.
