    2013 hyundai santa fe 2.4 is having major steering issues. At speeds above 45mph the suv sways all over the road and is almost impossible to maintain control of. If you have any type of wind the suv will change lanes and if you slightly correct it over corrects. I have checked the tire pressure and the tires show no signs a wear. Also the fuel tank will only fill 3/4 full then you have to wait and ever so slowly put…

    The vehicle has never displayed correct mpg. The digital read out that "tells" you your average mileage is always 2 or 3 miles off the actual mpg. I reset all the settings every fuel up. It 'tells" me i'm averaging 21 mpg, but when i check it multiple times it's actually 18mpg. The vehicle is supposed to ge 21/29 and i now have 15,000 miles on the car and i've never gotten more than 19 in town or about [redacted]…

I had them look at the fuel tank issue again. They are now seeing the problem and are…

    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…
