Cruise control would turn on but not allow a speed to be set. Also esc off light remained on dash solid. We never received any notice of a recall from hyundai. I see numerous other hyundai owners who have had this problem.also the check engine light has been on and won't turn off no matter how many times the cap is taken off then put back on after three turns. Fuel reads empty when tank is full. *tr

Last march i noticed the check engine light on and the vehicle hesitating to stalling out when cold and accelerating. This is worse the colder it gets outside. Also when driving you can feel a hesitation/missing going on, almost like the gas isn't flowing steadily into the engine. And recently my gas gauge is not showing accurately what is in the gas tank. I'll fill up and it still reads empty with the low fuel…

The gas gauge was fluctuating drastically from one stop until the next one. One minute we had half a tank of gas and we went into a store. When we came out of the store the gas gauge was on e. We drove for a little bit and the fuel light came on as well as the check engine light. The check engine light came on all of a sudden. Took it to the dealership and they diagnosed that both the sensors in the fuel tank had…

The gas gauge in my car suddenly showed empty about a year ago when my car only had about 80k miles. My gas light is also on and actually caused me to fail my nj state inspection a few weeks ago. I have only a few days left until my time is up to get it repaired. The mvc rep had provided me with two codes, p0463 and p2068, which both point towards a problem with the fuel sender(s). There seems to be numerous 2007…

Check engine light came on and mpg counter (miles per gallon) acting erratically. Brought car immediately to dealer and it was determined that "the fuel sensor was defective" (their words). There is a 5 year/50,000 mile warranty on this part and my car is 2 months over the time limit! The cost of replacement is high ($700) but due to the fact that the sensor tells me how much gas is in the tank, i felt, for safety's…

Fuel tank gauge is not registering properly. After a fill up the empty light comes on after driving less than 150 miles. My wife ran out of gas on a busy freeway due to the gauge always reading wrong. We love the car and we are even looking at trading it in for one that gets better mileage from hyundai. Fuel gauge readings went erratic within 6 months after warranty expired. I have to leave a gallon of gas in my car…

I took my 2007 hyundai santa fe to the dealer on 4/6/12 because the gas gauge was fluctuating constantly. I could not tell how much gas was in the tank at any given time. They replaced the gas float during that visit. When i picked up the car from the dealer, the car was filled with strong gas fumes. All of the technicians and service representatives were gone when i arrived so i did not have anyone to talk to about…

A day after filling my tank the gauge read empty. I tried filling it up again and it need only about two gallons before overflowing. A few months later, when i took the car for an oil change, they said there was no problem. I did explain that the tank release and the gas gauge was not working (i believe that when i visited the dealer and told them about the check-engine light they knew what the problem was. They…
