Description of the problem	We have owned 2 hyundai, santa fe. The fuel sensor has failed in both vehicles. After doing much research, i discovered that fuel sensor failure is a prevalent occurrence in these vehicles. There are numerous documentations on the internet. Fuel sensor failure is a serious safety issue. The driver has no idea how much gas is in the car. Therefore, the vehicle may stall at anytime on the road, and the driver would be injured especially if hit at a high speed. The vehicle may stall late at night and the driver may be in a remote location. If the car were to stall after dark, oncoming traffic would not see the stalled car. The average cost to replace the sensor is between 500 and 800 dollars. I have had to make this payment twice because i cannot sleep at night with my daughter driving a car without any idea of when it will stall. I have contacted hyundai and they are well aware of the safety issues. They told me that the car was not under warranty. They said that there is nothing they will do to help me or other owners. This problem is not about warranty. It is about driver safety. Hyundai refuses to recall these automobiles and would rather wait until someone is dead/injured.
