| Description of the problem | Several days ago my check engine light came on and the fuel gauge started acting erratic. It would read properly then read empty then read half full. The diagnostic code came up that it was the fuel sending unit. This is a $4-500 repair and my car is just outside of the warranty. After research online it appears that this is a very common problem with the 2007 santafe and seems to happen around this mileage. I think that a recall needs to be issued for this common problem. It is a safety issue. The replacement parts they now use for the problem have obviously been upgraded so there was a definite problem. |
