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

Issue ID	993575
Internal NHTSA #	10523796
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor Company
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SANTA FE
Model Year	2008
File date	10/06/13

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Our used santa fe's warranty expired on april 28th, 2013. A month later, the fuel gauge and mileage reporting started to fluctuate wildly, and for the past month we've understood that the fuel sensor assembly is faulty. The accurate reporting of the fuel level is now impossible and it is clear to us that this will be at least a $600 repair job. Hyundai deflected our e-mails to them, so i encourage folks to also write a letter to them by postal mail. The address they gave us is hyundai motor america p. O. Box 20850 fountain valley, ca 92728-0850. It is ridiculous timing that this occurs after an expensive maintenance appointment and right after the second-owner warranty expired. A system like this should not fail with only 44k miles on a vehicle, and hyundai can't convince me otherwise. This needs to be a recall, and owners who have gone ahead and done this repair for exorbitant fees need to be reimbursed. In recent news, asiana airlines represented the honor and integrity of korean corporate culture, i'd expect the same from hyundai who has thus far failed in their duty to the customer.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
