| Description of the problem | Check engine light came on and the reading came back as a bad fuel sensor. Sounds like this is a common problem yet hyundai is not willing to recall. Despite trying to keep track of how much gas i have i did once run out in the middle of an intersection and was lucky enough to get to a safe location. Hyundai knew what they were doing when they installed these, there's non point in replacing it without replacing the fuel pump as well. This car has given me more issue than any other car i've owned. First a cylinder misfire which was a bad coil pack, then i had to replace a purge valve and now this. I'm selling it back to the dealership asap. |
