For the last three years i have had issues with my fuel gauge not working. I have taken it in and was told it would cost a good amount of money to fix. I asked if this is a common problem with massey hyundai and they told me yes this is a current issue, and could not be recalled because it was not dangerous. So on 3.9.17 as a result of not fixing this issue with my vehicle because of the price. My car has stalled…

Sudden unintended acceleration in hyundai's, specifically santa fe. My wife has had this happen to her while driving her hyundai santa fe three times now and the hyundai dealership insists there has been no indication on the computer codes and that hyundai does not have this problem. Therefore as far as they are concerned "sudden unintended acceleration" on her santa fe never happened.

Wife was driving on interstate on cruise control, car began to accelerate on its own. Tapping the brake did not release the cruise control. College son who was in passenger seat reached over and pulled gas pedal back which release the cruise control. Second occurrence. First time i thought maybe the floor mat was in the way. The floor mat was definitely not the issue for second occurance.

While in a parking lot, i stopped at a stop sign by putting my right foot on the brake. As my foot was on the brake, the engine revved up and the car began moving forward. Without removing my right foot from the brake pedal, i put my other foot on the pedal and shifted to neutral (the vehicle has an automatic). The revving up immediately stopped and everything appeared normal once again. I drove back to my home,…

We got it pulled over and stopped, and…

While accelerating to pass a car, my accelerator got stuck and i couldn't get my car to stop with the brakes. This had happened once before, a couple of years ago and i was able to get it 'unstuck' by pumping brake and accelerator. I took the car in to be checked and the dealer said they couldn't 'recreate' the issue and that it was probably my floor mats. I basically chalked it up as a fluke, although i never…
