| Description of the problem | My gas gauge started malfunctioning earlier in 2015, then it totally went out by may of 2015. Now, it works when it wants to, but it's never really right. My trip gauge doesn't work either. Thanks to this issue, i failed my smog test, they said that my gas tank sensors need to be replaced. I got an estimate of nearly $1000 to complete this procedure that lots of other owners have had problems with. Why isn't this a repair covered by hyundai? Do you build your products to last long enough to make it through your warranty period? I've never had to replace this with previous vehicles. |
