| Description of the problem | This is our 3rd hyundai santa fe. Our 1st was an 2006 model, with which we had no problems. Our 2nd was totaled because of another drivers fault. We were forced to avoid her pulling into our lane- head on and went off the road hitting some pine bushes and a telephone guide wire. We were doing 45mph at the time we left the road and hot the bushes. No airbags deployed, but the vehicle was considered totaled by the adjuster. So we replaced the car with another 2007 santa fe limited and at first all was good. Now the fuel sending units are not working. In the fuel system the gas tanks(2) are considered saddlebacks and are located under the rear seat. The obd errors codes state that neither unit is working and it is now costing us an additional $525 - as it failed the massachusetts state emissions test. Hyundai is aware that this is an issue and is not being told to fix it. Consumers deserve better. |
