| Description of the problem | While driving my hyundai sante fe 2007 i noticed the check engine light came on... I noticed the miles at little over 95000 so i thought it just needed service. Then the gas gauge light came on indicating i have no gas and was empty which i knew is impossible since i had filled up a day prior and had not done much driving. The check engine light then went off about a 2-4 miles later. I went to the gas station and filled up and the light went away... But will always come on or after half tank of gas. I took the car to the dealer for service and they indicated its the fuel senders. They indicated no warranty on my car since it has passed the 5 year 60,000 miles warranty and the cost would be paid by me to fix. I inquired if this was a systematic problem with this vehicle and the service rep indicated he has seen a few on this vehicle, however no recall made. Im complaining since i have viewed this to be an issue with this model car online and should be corrected by the company at no cost to the consumer. |
