3 Fuel Injector problem of the 2002 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 09/15/2011

My vehicle had a recall on it in 2004 for the fuel system, gasoline storage and fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly. According to the home office the valve fix was installed on my vehicle in 2005, I have no record of the installation. In 2011 my vehicle broke down and I had it towed to a shop. It turned out to be the fuel pump, so I had it replaced with a new fuel pump I purchased at an auto supply shop. After the installation of the new fuel pump my vehicle would hesitate to start, the gas was taking to long to get to the injectors. After researching I found out about the recall not remembering anything about it or having a valve installed. My question is on such an important recall why isn't there notice at the auto supply stores on vehicles and parts on recall. A raised flag if you will, so when I (someone) go to purchase the new fuel pump a notice would have come up about the recall. Now the hyundia corporation refuse to fix this very serious problem without cost to me. I think it is hyundia responsibility to get the word out in every avenue available out there about the recall. They knew the fuel pump was bound to fail one day and had to be replaced. Going back to the dealer (who was the only one who knew about the recall) is an option not the only option.

5 Fuel Injector problem of the 2006 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 12/18/2009

Smelled a strong fuel smell inside the car; especially when cold starting; this is 3. 3l v6 engine. Took the car to the dealer and they could not find any problem. This was on and before 22 Sep 2009 with about 48,000 miles on the vehicle. Gas smell getting stronger and personal mechanic found right front fuel injector leaking, especially when cold. Also mileage has dropped about 10 mpg during long road trip. Mechanic recommends change of fuel injector o-ring seal(s) on the leaking injector and all others (5 more). I took the vehicle to the dealer for a warranty repair. Still waiting to see if they will repair the vehicle properly. This could be a serious safety/fire issue with raw fuel being sprayed on the hot engine.
