Description of the problem	I was getting check system warnings. Then my fuel gauges went crazy and did not register accurately and i could not tell if my gas tank was holding the gas and as much gas as i put in was not registering and once the car stopped while driving and it had gas in it. Apparently per what i've read from others, this is a rampant problem with this vehicle year and model and i think other years too. I've written to hyundai three times and they refused to do anything didn't even answer me. In last email to them i said i'd contact you if they continued to ignore and they did?! This should be a recall as it is dangerous to say the least. My local hyundai dealership wanted $221 to just look at it and told me to contact hyundai corporate to get them to recall this issue. They will not and this is ludicrous. My vehicle has only 76,000 miles on it. I wound up having the repair done not at a hyundai dealership,but by a very reputable mechanic. I paid $540 for this and it is outrageous hyundai refuses to do a recall on this. Can you get them to reimburse for this repair please and likewise for all others affected by this. It's a dangerous issue. How can they get away with this?? It is outrageous to say the least! When car stopped it was luckily on a local street and i was lucky little traffic or i would have been hit stopping while driving! Hyundai does not care! The car jerked on stopping too. Very frightening to say the least! I was afraid to drive it so i did the repair and i cannot afford the cost and will be paying three times this via my credit card installments! I live on social security solely and am 75 years old. Please help. If you want my receipt please advise. If you want to see my emails sent to hyundai advise too.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
