| Description of the problem | 2011 hyundai sonata limited 2. 4l. Ever since i purchased the vehicle from the dealership in bloomington,in five years ago i've had a difficult time getting fuel to pump into this car. I can't even put it on the lowest gas pump setting and it will disengage the pump over an over again. Literally, most times only being able to put 5$ in at a time very, very slowly, with some gas stations leaving me unable to pump at all. I've complained about it over the phone for years. After going through cancer treatments, i finally went to the terre haute dealership for the first time instead of bloomington, also for more recall issues. They found the gas pumping problem and said it's the canister and valve near the gas tank that needs replaced quoting me $548. 65. Of course there's no warranty now at 140,000 miles. Once again left to do the work myself, as the part is really cheap an easy to fix. I don't know how one can justify that price.. Tired of all the crazy issues with this vehicle |
