| Description of the problem | Own a 2007 hyundai santa fe 94k miles. Gas gauge erratic. Sensors bad. Asked hyundai if they were considering a recall on the gas sensors since it is a very common problem with this make and model. They basically gave me the" sorry about your luck, but no..." response. The gas tank door stopped working as well so i use the manual pull in the back compartment of the vehicle to access my tank. Would get it fixed but my local dealership is horrible. Trying to figure out how to change them myself. The tail light design on the 2007 is not as visible as it should be. I get many honks and middle fingers when trying to turn. Had the lights looked at many times and they passed inspections. I did notice the tail lights are now different on the newer models. |
