| Description of the problem | This issue seems to be well documented by others on the internet. When pumping gas, the fuel tank acts like it is full causing the gas pump to shut off. However, the tank is only about 3/4 full. If you are patient enough, you can eventually fill up the tank by trickling in gas, waiting a couple of seconds, trickling in some more gas, etc. This appears to be a known problem but huyndai service centers fail to recognize this as an issue. It appears that some individuals have had their tanks replace. 1 complaint indicates that the service center indicated that a piece close to the filler hose had "melted". Sounds like it may be time for nhtsa to step up and do some further investigation. |
