2008 Hyundai SANTA FE Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1151863
Internal NHTSA #	10678722
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SANTA FE
Model Year	2008
File date	01/09/14
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Fuel sensor does not function properly. Reads empty when tank has just been filled, and will then fluctuate from empty to full from there. Driver has to rely on mileage for fuel level accuracy. Numerous complaints have been filed for the same make and model car, with the same problem. All have taken their vehicles to dealerships where they are charged $800 to replace fuel sensors, often with fuel sensors made by hyundai, which malfunction again. Hyundai does not cover repairs under warranty, is well aware of the problem, and refuses to issue a recall, sitting "non-safety issue". This is a serious safety issue as a driver can run out of gas while on the road, and face potential injury or death from being hit by another vehicle... Especially if on the freeway or at night. Drivers are being left stranded on the roads because they have run out of gas from the sensors malfunctioning. The check engine light illuminates because of this issue, and remains lit until the sensors are replaced. This can be harmful because drivers would not know of any additional engine problems since the light remains lit due to the fuel sensor malfunction. See http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/hyundai/santa_fe/2008/fuel_system/fuel_propulsion_system. Shtml for a handful of complaints regarding this issue. I ask that hyundai be held responsible for knowingly putting drivers at risk with this issue and for charging customers a ludicrous amount to "repair" the sensors with the same, faulty ones they manufacture. I will never purchase a hyundai again!
