The fuel sensor on this vehicle suddenly stopped working. The readings on the fuel would fluctuate wildly from full to empty. This is safety issue due to not knowing how much fuel is in the car and can cause the car to stall out at the highway.

2008 hyundai santa fe accelerator sensor went bad while entering the interstate. The car only went 20 mph.

I contacted the dealer and a new part was installed, but found out there is not a cable connected to the accelerator. The sensor runs the gas input, without a back up in case of failure. *tr
